QuantumGate, an Abu Dhabi cybersecurity venture, unveiled a new product and announced a strategic partnership with PwC Middle East. With experts predicting that quantum computing advances will make traditional cybersecurity ineffective in as little as five to 10 years, QuantumGate offers a suite of tools designed for the quantum era.
The newest addition, Crypto Discovery Tool, is a cryptographic asset management platform designed to help enterprises discover, inventory, and manage their cryptographic assets.
This is a critical first step in preparing for the transition to quantum-safe cybersecurity—by identifying existing assets and highlighting vulnerabilities, organisations can build a clear roadmap for remediation.
“As quantum computing advances, traditional security solutions are becoming obsolete,” said Janne Hirvimies, the Chief Technology Officer of QuantumGate.
“That is why it is essential to understand your organisation’s current cryptographic posture and start managing these assets proactively. We are committed to supporting enterprises as they navigate this paradigm shift.”
“Our made-in-the-UAE cybersecurity tools are designed for the quantum era, and collaborating with an industry provider such as PwC will help ensure they have an even greater impact,” said Reda Nidhakou, Acting CEO of VentureOne, QuantumGate’s parent company.
“Their deep expertise, strong client relationships, and regional market presence make them the ideal partner to help accelerate market adoption and will help ensure we can support businesses across the UAE and beyond.”
The agreement, signed by Nidhakou and Raddad Ayoub, a Cybersecurity and Digital Trust Partner at PwC Middle East, will combine QuantumGate’s advanced cybersecurity technology and PwC’s advisory expertise with the goal of helping public and private organisations build quantum-resilient digital infrastructures.
“As the world moves toward a quantum future, cybersecurity must keep pace,” said Clinton Firth, a Cybersecurity Partner and Quantum Computing Consulting Provider at PwC Middle East.
“This partnership with QuantumGate combines our deep digital trust capabilities with cutting-edge, quantum-resilient technology helping organisations across the Middle East fast-track their transition to quantum-safe security and build trust in their digital future.”
QuantumGate will work with PwC to deliver strategic client projects, lead cybersecurity events, co-host educational webinars on post-quantum cryptography, and publish white papers exploring the security implications of quantum computing.
Crypto Discovery Tool
The Crypto Discovery Tool scans a company’s systems, networks, cloud environments, and applications to identify and create an inventory of cryptographic assets such as keys, certificates, and algorithms.
Key features
