Context

PQ Layer answers a question large organisations cannot answer about themselves: where, exactly, are we relying on encryption, and which of it fails first when the current algorithms stop being safe. It scans cloud infrastructure, builds an inventory of every place cryptography is in use, and ranks the findings by what breaks soonest.

The output goes two ways. Upward, as board-level reporting, because the decision to spend on this is made by people who will never read a scan. Sideways, into ServiceNow, because a finding that does not become a ticket does not become work.


Working on something like this?

Thirty minutes, no charge. If I am not the right person for it I will say so on the call.
