Protecting your vital information as it traverses across sites, global networks and cloud


With the proliferation of supercomputing and quantum processing capabilities around the world, businesses, governments and defence organisations are racing to evolve their data security posture for their stored operational data, as well as data-in-transit.

This is driven by the realisation that the mathematical algorithm-based encryption that has served the global businesses and society over the past few decades can be broken with quantum computers – or even with super computers, when partial encryption information is available. This creates significant commercial and compliance risks for enterprises.

The cost of cyber-attacks are rising. As of February 2024, the global average cost of a data breach reached $4.88 million, up from $4.45 million in 2023

Colt, alongside Honeywell Aerospace Technologies and Nokia, has drafted a white paper which:

  • Outlines the weaknesses in traditional encryption techniques
  • Identifies mechanisms to adopt a ‘defence in depth’ approach for a holistic security of critical data
