What happens when AI meets quantum computing in the heart of your SOC?
In this week’s episode of Cyber After Hours, we’re joined by Edward Wu, CEO of Dropzone AI, to explore just how fast the cybersecurity game is changing—and what it means for defenders trying to stay one step ahead.
From the frozen roofs of Syracuse to palm-sized quantum machines, we dive into a wide-ranging conversation on the future of cybersecurity.
Edward shares his journey from building alert-generating tools to creating AI agents that actually help analysts make sense of the noise—think SOC automation, but with purpose.
Then the real fun begins: quantum computing.
We dig into its impact on encryption, national security, and risk prediction—asking the big questions like,
Can quantum AI predict the exact day of a breach?
Or better yet, can it prevent one?
But it’s not all theory—we stay grounded in practical reality.
Edward breaks down why a fully autonomous SOC is still out of reach, and why the smartest play today is using AI to amplify, not replace, human analysts.
As Paul puts it, "The only limit right now is imagination."
Add in a few good-natured jabs about flip-flops vs. snow boots, some big questions about nation-state surveillance, and a surprising Star Trek tangent on quantum entanglement, and you’ve got a wild, thoughtful, and surprisingly human take on where cyber defense is headed.
If you’ve ever wondered how to future-proof your security program in the face of exponential tech growth, this is your episode.
