The Gene Simmons of Data Protection: Protegrity's KISS Method
Today, we are releasing another episode from our series, entitled The Gene Simmons of Data Protection - the KISS Method, brought to you by none other than Protegrity. Protegrity is AI-powered data security for data consumption, offering fine grain data protection solutions, so you can enable your data security, compliance, sharing and analytics.
Episode Title: Navigating the Future of Data Management: Type Systems, Quantum Computing, and Protegrity's Innovations
In our final episode, we are speaking with Michael Howard, CEO of Protegrity. We talk about how traditional type systems often fail short in modern data management, as well as potential threats posed by quantum computing to current encryption methods, as well as how Protegrity's product embeds context and security into the data itself, in order to repel any threat.
Questions
- Tell me and my audience a little bit about you.
- I know that you’ve referred to type systems as “lame.” Can you explain the concept of type systems in databases, why they’re lame, and why they pose challenges for modern data management?
- How is quantum computing poised to impact the current landscape of data security and encryption?
- What are some of the limitations of traditional type systems in databases, and how can they be improved to handle modern data challenges?
- Can you share insights on how Protegrity's approach to data classification and protection differs from traditional methods?
- Looking ahead, how do you envision the role of type systems evolving with the advent of quantum computing and other emerging technologies?
- One of Protegrity’s talking points has been how far behind legislation for data privacy and security is compared to today’s rapidly accelerating data landscape. What do you think needs to happen – in quantum and AI – for conversations to turn into action?

CoinDesk Podcast Network - BITCOIN SEASON 2: Bitcoin Needs Self Custody To Survive
Casa CEO Nick Neuman argues Bitcoin needs self-custody adoption to survive long-term. Without transaction fees from edge users, mining could become unprofitable, risking network security and potentially forcing protocol changes.
Nick Neuman, CEO & co-founder of Casa joins us to talk about why Bitcoin's future depends on self-custody adoption. Neuman argues that without users holding Bitcoin "at the edges" and generating transaction fees, mining incentives could collapse, potentially forcing changes to Bitcoin's 21 million supply cap or pushing institutions toward proof-of-stake alternatives.
