Kirk Baird | Cybersecurity, Quantum Risk and Protecting the Digital Economy

Kirk Baird joins Amy-Rose Goodey on The House is Digital for a deep dive into cybersecurity, blockchain infrastructure and the emerging risks facing an increasingly digital economy.As Senior Executive Director at Sigma Prime, Kirk has spent years examining vulnerabilities across blockchain systems and helping secure critical Web3 infrastructure.The conversation explores how cryptography protects the internet, where vulnerabilities emerge, why humans are increasingly becoming the weakest point in otherwise secure systems, and what major digital asset hacks can teach us about managing risk.Kirk also explores the rapidly developing quantum computing challenge, post-quantum cryptography, AI-enabled security, scams and the importance of building redundancy into critical digital infrastructure.A fascinating look beneath the surface of the digital economy at the systems, people and technology responsible for keeping it secure.
