Cracking the code: What encryption can (and can’t) do for you
Wed Jan 28 2026
Step into the fascinating world of cryptography. Host Amy Ciminnisi sits down with Yuri Kramarz from Cisco Talos Incident Response and Tim Wadhwa-Brown from Cisco Customer Experience to learn what encryption really accomplishes, where it leaves gaps, and when defenders need to take proactive measures.
Whether you’re picturing classic codebreakers or the latest quantum-proof ciphers, this episode unpacks the essentials: what encryption and hashing actually mean, why key management is a make-or-break factor, and how even the best algorithms can fall short if the basics aren’t handled right.
