Certes has unveiled version 7 of its Data Protection and Risk Mitigation (DPRM) platform, marking a significant leap toward quantum-safe cybersecurity. The new release is designed to protect sensitive data across hybrid, multi-cloud, and edge environments, addressing one of the most pressing challenges in modern security—how to safeguard data even when infrastructure and identities are compromised.
With v7, Certes is shifting the focus from traditional perimeter-based defenses to a data-centric security approach. Instead of relying solely on tools like firewalls or VPNs, the platform enforces protection directly at the data level. This ensures that even if attackers breach networks or steal credentials, the data itself remains encrypted, segmented, and unusable. The platform introduces quantum-safe encryption capabilities, preparing organizations for future threats posed by quantum computing while maintaining compatibility with existing systems.
One of the standout aspects of v7 is its ability to deploy quickly without requiring major infrastructure changes or application rewrites. Organizations can implement the solution within days, applying centralized, per-flow security policies across diverse environments—from on-premises systems to cloud platforms and edge devices. This significantly reduces operational complexity while enhancing security coverage.
According to CEO Paul German, the reality of today’s threat landscape demands a new mindset. Rather than assuming breaches can always be prevented, organizations must prepare for them and focus on minimizing impact. v7 supports this approach by containing attacks through cryptographic segmentation, limiting how far attackers can move within an environment and preventing lateral data access.
The platform also addresses growing concerns around data sovereignty and regulatory compliance. CTO Simon Pamplin emphasized that v7 ensures encryption keys remain fully controlled by the customer, never exposed to cloud providers or third parties. This allows organizations to maintain strict control over who can access sensitive data and where it can be decrypted, regardless of whether workloads run on public cloud platforms or private infrastructure.
Another critical feature is its defense against emerging threats like “harvest-now, decrypt-later” attacks. These attacks involve stealing encrypted data today with the intention of decrypting it in the future using quantum computing. By integrating post-quantum cryptography, v7 ensures that data remains secure even in a post-quantum world, often referred to as “Q-Day.”
As businesses increasingly rely on AI and distributed systems, v7 also extends protection to data flowing into and out of AI models, securing training data, prompts, and interactions across environments. This holistic approach ensures that security keeps pace with evolving technologies.
Ultimately, Certes v7 represents a forward-looking approach to cybersecurity one that prioritizes data protection, adaptability, and resilience. By enabling organizations to adopt quantum-safe encryption today without disrupting existing operations, the platform offers a practical path toward future-proof security in an increasingly complex digital landscape.
