Quantum Computing and How it Breaks RSA | Ep. 1 - Quantum Learning Series

On October 7, 2025, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John M. Martinis for their work with superconducting circuits and Josephson junctions—experiments that proved quantum mechanics can govern entire electronic systems, not just individual particles. Their discoveries laid the foundation for today’s quantum computers. Quantum computing is now redefining what’s possible in data security. In Episode 1 of the Quantum Learning Series, we explore what quantum computing really is—and why it poses such a powerful threat to modern encryption.

Quantum, Classic, Still Stupid Data

The need for a new type system. The age of quantum is about to begin, like Sauron in The Lord of the Rings, who seeks to dominate Middle-earth and all its inhabitants. Its ascendance is around the corner, starting to establish a new world order, still in the depths of Mordor, yet ever-so magically manifesting itself on the heels of the Crypto Winter.

How to Cut PCI DSS Scope and Eliminate Compliance Costs

Securing PCI and PII data is at the core of what we do at Protegrity. You can try out Protegrity’s capabilities today, through our API Playground. This section walks you through some sample scenarios of de-identifying PCI data, so that it is removed from your environment and only reversed once it leaves it. To run this example, you have to be signed up to the Protegrity API Playground.

Navigating the EU AI Act: Why Compliance is Key to AI Innovation and Security

The European Union’s AI Act, set to be enforced in 2025, is set to transform how businesses approach artificial intelligence. Designed to regulate AI development and deployment, the Act aims to ensure ethical, safe, and transparent AI usage. However, many organisations still struggle with compliance.

Mastering EU AI Act Compliance: Strategies for Data Governance and Security

Organisations must adopt robust compliance strategies to align with the EU AI Act’s stringent requirements. This involves implementing effective data governance frameworks, ensuring data quality and integrity, and leveraging advanced data security solutions.

PCI Readiness Survey: Key challenges for 2025

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) has been a critical framework for protecting cardholder data for the last two decades. It’s also presented a major — and gradually rising — compliance challenge for organizations that handle cardholder data. That challenge is set to ramp up significantly in the coming months, as security standards become even more stringent with PCI DSS 4.0 updates taking full effect in March 2025.

Data-Centric Security: Protect Your Most Valuable Asset-Your Data

You’re sitting in your office, staring at a screen filled with data. Customer information, financial records, sensitive business intel – it’s all there, flowing through your systems like digital lifeblood. That data, however, isn’t just sitting behind your firewall anymore. It’s zipping across cloud platforms, being crunched by AI models, and shared with partners across the globe. Welcome to the new reality of data security.

Inside a Cyberattack: How Hackers Steal Data

The truth about cybersecurity is that it's almost impossible to keep hackers outside of an organisation, particularly as the cybercrime industry becomes increasingly sophisticated and their technology more advanced. Furthermore, once a hacker has broken through an organisation's defences, it is relatively easy to move within the network and access information without being detected for days and even months. This is a significant concern for Banking and Financial Services organisations, which house valuable sensitive and Personally Identifiable Information (PII).

What is PCI DSS?

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a global security framework established by major credit card brands that outlines security requirements for any organization handling cardholder data, including encryption, access control, and network security. PCI DSS is regularly updated, and Version 4.0, effective March 2025, focuses on allowing organizations to tailor security controls to their specific needs.

Empowering Data Security in GenAI: Step-by-Step Guide to PII Safeguarding in Bedrock using Protegrity

Generative AI (GenAI) applications, especially through Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, are transforming business interactions with data. These pipelines leverage language models and extensive enterprise knowledge bases for real-time queries of large internal datasets. Robust data privacy and security solutions are essential. Amazon Bedrock’s native security guardrails address this need.
