The zero-trust security model is built on the principle that no device, user, or network connection should be automatically trusted. Every request for access—whether from inside or outside the network—must be verified. This model addresses the reality that perimeter-based security alone is no longer sufficient in a world of remote work, cloud adoption, and increasingly … Read more

Digital identity has become a cornerstone of modern governance. By enabling citizens to prove their identity online, governments can deliver services more quickly, more securely, and with greater convenience. The adoption of digital identity solutions not only streamlines service delivery but also helps reduce fraud, improve data accuracy, and increase citizen engagement. At the heart … Read more

Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is a foundational security technology that underpins trust in both the physical and digital worlds. It enables secure communication, authenticates identities, and ensures that sensitive information remains private. While PKI operates behind the scenes, its impact is highly visible in sectors where security, reliability, and trust are mission-critical. Two industries that … Read more

Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is not confined to IT departments or highly secure government networks—it is woven into the fabric of everyday digital interactions. From boarding a flight to buying groceries online, PKI plays a pivotal role in securing data, verifying identities, and enabling trust. Often invisible to end users, PKI operates behind the scenes … Read more

Introduction Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is the backbone of secure digital communication. It enables trusted transactions, protects sensitive data, and verifies identities across networks. From securing online banking and e-commerce to enabling encrypted corporate communications, PKI is fundamental to the trust model of the internet and private networks. For many organisations, understanding PKI is the … Read more

Introduction Digital certificates sit at the heart of modern security. They authenticate identities, encrypt communications, and underpin trust between systems, applications, and users. Whether enabling secure online transactions, protecting sensitive data, or supporting regulatory compliance, certificates are a critical part of today’s IT environment. However, the growing scale and complexity of digital infrastructures make managing … Read more

Introduction Evaluating the merits and limitations of relying on Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) for all certificate-related needs in modern IT highlights that AD CS was fundamentally designed for on-premises deployment. Since its introduction in Windows 2000, it has successfully served private and public organizations as a critical solution for certificate delivery. However, the … Read more

Navigating the NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Roadmap The world of cybersecurity is evolving rapidly, and with it comes the need for organisations to adapt to new standards and technologies. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has recently released a clear roadmap for the transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC). This roadmap sets firm deadlines … Read more

It sounds like something out of a sci fi movie – quantum computers taking over and threatening to hack into our systems and steal our sensitive data. The reality however is that quantum computing is happening. Current predictions have estimates anywhere from as early as 2026 to not till 2030. So, what is it and … Read more

As human beings, trust is fundamental to us in all aspects of our life. Trust also forms the basis of good relationships and business practices, so when it comes to the online world it is no different. We need to know that we are safe online – especially in a world where there is an increasing amount of fraud, scamming and cyber incidents.
