Nalini Elkins, CTO of Outside the Stacks, Inc. – Securing Networks for the Post-Quantum Future | TiE Women’s Program Silicon Valley 2025
At the TiE Women’s Program – Silicon Valley, we shine a spotlight on women founders tackling some of the most complex challenges in technology today. Nalini Elkins, CTO of Outside the Stacks, Inc., is at the forefront of one of the most urgent battles in cybersecurity: preparing global networks for the post-quantum era.
The Problem
Modern encryption — the backbone of digital security — is at risk.
With the rapid advancement of quantum computing and increasingly sophisticated AI-driven cyberattacks, legacy security systems are no longer enough.
Enterprises and government networks now face:
- Rising vulnerability to future quantum attacks
- Increasing regulatory and compliance pressure
- AI-powered intrusion attempts that evolve faster than traditional defenses
Security teams need proactive, quantum-resilient protection, not reactive patching.
Outside the Stacks’ Solution
Outside the Stacks helps organizations future-proof their networks by enabling post-quantum encryption and advanced cyber defense.
The platform supports enterprises and government agencies by:
- Meeting emerging post-quantum security mandates
- Defending networks against AI-powered hacking strategies
- Ensuring end-to-end resilience across critical infrastructure
This is cybersecurity built not just for today’s attacks — but for tomorrow’s unknowns.
Why It Matters
The stakes are high.
When core infrastructure is compromised:
- National security is at risk
- Intellectual property is exposed
- Critical services can fail
Outside the Stacks delivers the tools needed to stay ahead, not scramble behind.
This is how organizations protect data, trust, and stability in the decades ahead.
