Australia’s Quantum Security Wake-Up Call Australia occupies a distinct position in the global quantum security landscape. Its heavy reliance on a small number of submarine cable routes, deep integration with Five Eyes and allied intelligence ecosystems, and geopolitical exposure in the Indo-Pacific combine to make it an unusually high-value target for the “harvest now, decrypt […]

Crypto agility is one of those terms that sounds like it belongs in a technical architecture discussion rather than a boardroom. But as the quantum threat moves from theoretical to operational, and as regulators begin requiring demonstrable cryptographic resilience, it has become one of the most strategically important concepts in post-quantum security planning. The core […]
Cryptographic Asset Discovery: Why PQC Migration Starts with Visibility Before any building contractor can safely remove asbestos, they need a full survey of where it lives. Ripping out walls without knowing what’s behind them doesn’t solve the problem—it makes it worse. The same principle applies to post‑quantum cryptography migration. Cryptographic asset discovery — knowing exactly where […]
Banks are not delaying post-quantum cryptography migration because they don’t understand the threat. They are delaying it because they don’t understand their cryptography. Let that sink in. Tom Millar, CEO, Venari Everyone in cybersecurity is talking about Post-quantum cryptography migration NIST has published the first standards. Regulators are asking questions. Security teams understand the Harvest […]
07:42, Monday morning: The trading desk cannot connect to a partner platform. Transactions begin failing. Prices stop updating. Customer services receive calls from clients who cannot complete transactions. An urgent incident bridge opens. Engineers check networks. Firewalls. DNS. Authentication services. Nothing appears broken. Forty minutes later: someone finally spots it: an expired TLS certificate on […]
JSON Web Tokens (JWT) are everywhere. They secure API calls, authenticate users across microservices, and underpin the identity layer of modern web applications. But the cryptographic foundations that make JWTs trustworthy, like RSA and elliptic curve signatures, face a serious threat. Quantum computing could break them. The race to retrofit the JWT and JOSE ecosystem […]
Why Cryptographic Visibility Is Now a Strategic Priority NIST post-quantum standards, the G7 PQC Roadmap, DORA and PCI DSS 4.0 are accelerating the shift toward quantum-resistant cryptography. Yet many organisations remain blocked by a basic constraint: You cannot migrate what you cannot see.You cannot prioritise what you cannot measure. Without real-time insight into algorithms, certificates, […]
It’s the big headache no one wants to admit publicly right now: the EU and the US are approaching post-quantum cryptography (PQC) on different terms – and it’s opening a growing strategic gap. In Europe, PQC upgrades can be treated as CapEx thanks to DORA and IFRS. In the US, the same upgrades hit the P&L […]
