"Refactoring the Enterprise"
The static control architecture we've built over the past two decades is about to die. SaaS is being pushed into a reformed middleware by the new agentic operating layer, forcing security functions to rethink how controls are designed to enable enterprise 5.0. Data-centric, context-based automation will be unavoidable if security functions want to keep pace with the high velocity business activity of the future.

State of the nation update on UK Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) in 2026, exploring implementation pathways, crypto-agility, transition deadlines, and practical engineering readiness.
