Solid8 Technologies and Cryptomathic Partner to Strengthen Crypto-Agile Security Across Southern Africa

As quantum computing progresses from theory toward real-world capability, organizations across regulated industries are reassessing the strength and flexibility of their cryptographic foundations. Financial institutions, payment networks, telecommunications providers, and government systems rely heavily on robust cryptography to maintain trust, protect sensitive data, and ensure secure digital operations.

To help organizations strengthen their cyber resilience and prepare for the future of cryptography, Solid8 Technologies and Cryptomathic have partnered to deliver advanced cryptographic solutions across Southern Africa.

Cryptomathic brings more than four decades of expertise in high-assurance cryptography and key management, technologies trusted by leading global banks, payment networks, and government institutions. These solutions sit at the core of digital trust infrastructure, securing payments, digital identities, and critical applications.

As quantum computing advances, the need for crypto-agility - the ability to transition cryptographic algorithms without disrupting critical systems - has become increasingly important. Crypto-agility allows organizations to adapt their security architectures as new standards, including Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), emerge.

Through this partnership, Solid8 Technologies will expand the reach of Cryptomathic’s solutions across key sectors including banking, financial services, telecommunications, and retail, supporting organizations in strengthening their cryptographic infrastructures and preparing for the post-quantum era.

“Partnering with Solid8 Technologies allows us to extend Cryptomathic’s trusted cryptographic solutions to new markets across Southern Africa,” said Marianne Van Der Pluym Head of Partnerships at Cryptomathic. “Solid8’s strong regional presence and expertise in delivering cybersecurity solutions to regulated industries makes them an ideal partner as organizations increasingly focus on crypto-agility and preparing their security infrastructures for the post-quantum era”.
