In Miami, “crypto” conversations usually drift toward coins, token launches, and web3 upside. Rebecca Krauthamer, CEO of
@QuSecure, is pushing the ecosystem to focus on the other crypto that actually underpins everything: cryptography.
It is an easy topic to tune out, especially in a city with a loud blockchain narrative. But the risk profile is changing fast, and founders need to treat encryption as a business decision, not a back office detail.
The near term pressure is coming from quantum. Last month, Google announced it has shortened its timeline for preparing against a quantum computer that could break today’s encryption systems. Google also published additional research on quantum threats, including what it could mean for the cryptography that protects bitcoin.
You do not need to be a security company for this to matter. If you store customer data, handle payments, secure logins, sign software updates, or rely on certificates across cloud infrastructure, cryptography is already part of your product. The question is whether you know where it is, and whether you have a plan for migrating to quantum resistant approaches as standards and buyer expectations shift.
Miami and South Florida have the ingredients to take this seriously without panic. We have web3 builders who understand adversarial environments, a growing security bench, and enterprise customers who care about trust.
The founder takeaway is simple: start asking the cryptography questions now, while you still control the timeline.
