HNDL and Post-Quantum Cryptography Readiness: Preparing for the Silent Threat In cybersecurity, some threats don’t announce themselves with ransomware notes or flashy breaches. They operate in silence, collecting your encrypted traffic today with the calm confidence that tomorrow’s quantum computers will crack it wide open. This is the essence of Harvest Now, Decrypt Later (HNDL) […]

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 […]
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 […]
Most people read the G7’s post-quantum roadmap and fixate on the algorithms. Tom Millar reads something far more uncomfortable between the lines: a quiet admission that many institutions still don’t know what they need to protect. In his article, Tom argues that PQC migration won’t fail because of cryptography — NIST-approved algorithms already exist — […]
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 […]
