Products & Solutions
CipherLayer
A post-quantum secure communications platform that protects email, messaging, voice, video and VPN tunnels against quantum computing threats without requiring users to change existing tools. It operates in two integrated lines: CipherLayer Secure Comms for protected communications and CipherLayer VPN for quantum-resistant network tunnelling. Designed for on-premises deployment in government, defence and critical infrastructure environments requiring sovereign data control.
SynapseMesh
A sovereign AI operating system that lets NATO members, EU institutions and national security organisations build, train and operate AI models entirely within their own infrastructure. An Agent Mesh protocol enables autonomous AI agents to collaborate securely across different classification levels and organisational boundaries using post-quantum cryptographic algorithms including CRYSTALS-Kyber and Dilithium. Designed to eliminate reliance on external cloud providers for sensitive AI workloads.
PQ-STRAT
A post-quantum strategic risk framework that helps organisations identify, quantify and mitigate cryptographic vulnerabilities before quantum computers can exploit them. It includes a threat taxonomy, a PQRI scoring index for prioritising migration across 5-30 year confidentiality horizons, and sector-specific modules for space, defence, industrial control systems and finance. Developed to NATO and EU standards at Secret classification level, it targets ministries of defence, space agencies and critical infrastructure operators.
SpaceShield STM
A Space Traffic Management platform providing orbital tracking, debris monitoring and collision prediction for satellite operators. It integrates with existing space operations infrastructure and addresses growing congestion and debris risk in low Earth orbit. Targets national space agencies and commercial satellite operators requiring assured space domain awareness.
DroneCrypt UTM
An Unmanned Traffic Management security platform that uses blockchain technology to secure flight path data, drone identities and communication channels. Designed for operators and regulators managing drone corridors in sensitive or contested airspace. Addresses the integrity and authentication challenges that arise as civilian and military drone traffic scales.
SecureSat Guardian
A security platform for satellite communications and ground control systems, protecting space infrastructure from cyber threats including signal interception and command spoofing. Targets satellite operators and defence organisations that need assured integrity across the full space-ground link.
