Jaya Baloo on the Future of Cyber Threats and Human Trust

In this episode of Possible Futures, we talk with Jaya Baloo. One of the most respected voices in cybersecurity and quantum strategy about the invisible architecture that keeps our digital lives safe… and why it’s all at risk.Jaya has spent over two decades protecting some of the world’s most critical infrastructure — from leading security at major European telecoms to helping steer billion-euro quantum initiatives for the European Union.

Today, she’s a global advisor on how to navigate the looming intersection of cybersecurity, AI, and quantum computing. In this conversation, we pull back the curtain on what “lawful surveillance” really means… how quantum computing could break the encryption we all rely on… and why the biggest vulnerability might not be technological… but human.Because when it comes to cybersecurity, it’s not just the algorithms that matter. It’s our willingness  or unwillingness to change.Jaya helps us understand what’s coming and what leaders, policymakers, and everyday users can do right now to prepare. We cover deepfakes, digital trust, AI-assisted attacks, and the steps we can all take to defend our future.Whether you’re a technologist, an executive, or just someone trying to keep your data safe, this episode will challenge the way you think about digital security and remind you why our future resilience depends as much on people as it does on code.
