Arqit Launches Encryption Intelligence: Automated Cryptographic Discovery for Post-Quantum Migration and Compliance Arqit announced the full commercial launch of Encryption Intelligence (EI), a product that delivers a complete cryptographic inventory, alongside continuous discovery and risk prioritisation to help enterprises plan and execute migration to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) efficiently and with minimal disruption. Migration to quantum-safe encryption will be the biggest IT transformation of the coming decade. Encryption Intelligence gives deep awareness of encryption dependencies to enable an efficient and effective PQC migration programme. This is particularly important as many organizations lack a complete and accurate view of their existing cryptographic dependencies. Legacy algorithms and deprecated protocols frequently persist for years after they should have been retired, especially across cloud services, acquired systems, operational technology and long-lived infrastructure. What Encryption Intelligence Delivers: Excover obsolete or weak encryption in real time across networks, applications and cloud services. Accelerate Secure Migration: Gain the insight to inform the roadmap required to replace legacy encryption and future-proof organization against emerging and quantum threats. Stay Secure, Always: Continuously monitor and optimise encryption landscape to ensure lasting protection and compliance. The focus on discovery and prioritisation is emblematic of a broader shift in regulatory and advisory thinking. National and international bodies increasingly emphasise cryptographic discovery and inventory as the first practical step towards post-quantum readiness. Arqit has been selected by the UK National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) to participate in its Post-Quantum Cryptography Pilot under the Assured Cyber Security Consultancy Scheme. The programme validates the strength of Arqit's discovery and migration planning methodology, and its effectiveness at helping organizations understand their current cryptographic exposure.

Arqit Delivers Quantum-Safe Protection Enhanced by Confidential Computing Arqit Quantum Inc. announced the delivery of quantum-safe protection enhanced by confidential computing; data protection that helps ensure no third party, not even the cloud provider, can access a customer's encryption keys or workloads, even when distributed across multiple hosts. Powered by Intel Trust Domain Extensions (Intel TDX) and Arqit NetworkSecure this solution strengthens the security of Arqit's quantum-resistant crypto key delivery system. With the right approach, organizations can now overcome long-standing cloud security challenges: gaining full control over encryption keys, securing data in transit, enabling trusted collaboration, and reducing the cost and complexity of additional hardware. Protecting sensitive data in the cloud has always depended on placing trust in infrastructure providers despite the theoretical risk that they could access encryption keys or data as it moved between environments. This risk is now addressed. With Arqit NetworkSecure running inside a Trusted Domain (TD) created by Intel TDX, encryption keys are: Generated inside the Intel TDX enclave; Visible only to the TD owner; Rotated frequently; Protected with quantum-safe encryption between enclaves. Even Arqit and Intel are outside the trust boundary. This architecture provides advanced data sovereignty by design. In the Intel TDX environment, each TD is encrypted and isolated from other software, the hypervisor, and the infrastructure host. Arqit's software operates inside this confidential VM, generating and managing encryption keys that never leave the TD. Keys are used to secure communications between TD. Keys are used to securing communications between TD. Keys are use to secure communications between TD. Key platforms are used to secure communications betweenTD across hosts, enabling safe, symmetric data flows without exposing any secrets to the infrastructure. Use Cases: Network Security for Telcos Telcos deploying Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) or virtual RAN (vRAN) on white-box hardware face new security demands. Arqit NetworkSecure can now run inside an Intel TDX trust domain on these platforms, designed to keep traffic encryption and key management isolated and quantum-safe. Remote attestation helps verify the environment hasn't been tampered with. Enterprise Edge & AI Workloads: Large enterprises moving sensitive workloads between on-prem environments and the cloud need strong isolation and secure communication. Arqit and Intel TDX isolate the workload and secure the channel using symmetric keys, all without exposing processes inside TD to the cloud or the infrastructure provider. Virtual Hardware Security Modules (HSMs), organizations can now deploy Arqit's symmetric key platform inside TD as a "virtual HSM" - cutting costs while meeting the highest security standards for cryptographic operations. Secure Collaboration Across Domains: In sectors like defence, finance, and public services, data collaboration often involves multiple parties. Using secure enclaves and Arqit's ephemeral key model, organizations can now enable secure, privacy-preserving analytics across trusted domains. Confidential computing can elevate security to the next level. Security enhancements include: Infrastructure that meets the highest bar; Zero key access for operators; Quantum-safe encryption as standard; Hardware-based trust anchors; Attestation independent of the provider's infrastructure; Verified isolation through TD attestation. This level of assurance is especially vital in regulated industries like finance, defence, and national infrastructure. Anuncio • Apr 17

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 76% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (18% average weekly change).

New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: US$89.8m This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Revenue is less than US$1m (US$640k revenue). Minor Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on current free cash flow (-US$49m). Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable next year (US$19m net loss next year). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (13% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (22% increase in shares outstanding). Market cap is less than US$100m (US$89.8m market cap). Anuncio • Dec 07
Babcock Develops Communications and Control Technology in Partnership with Arqit Babcock International Group (Babcock) developed a technology with the capability of controlling single or entire fleets of vehicles in a defence environment. Babcock demonstrated its SwarmCore technology, an advanced software system made up of multiple networks, at the UK Ministry of Defence's BattleLab site last week in Dorset. The project was created in collaboration with Arqit, a leader in quantum-safe encryption and supported by the UK's national innovation agency, Innovate UK. Fundamentally, SwarmCore, which is ready to be tested in the military environment, can be used to control single or entire fleets of vehicles such as drones. It can be operated either fully autonomously or by remote human control at a safe distance from the battlefield. One of the key benefits of SwarmCore and its integration with Arqit's Symmetric Key Agreement Platform is its ability to receive and transmit data in a safe and secure way in a decentralised manner. In a defence environment, this would mean if a single vehicle as part of a fleet was either hacked or attacked - the rest of the fleet could continue its mission instructions with no single asset ever being a point of failure. With the integration of Arqit's encryption technology, information carried on encrypted keys to and from assets will benefit from robust protection against cyber-attacks. Babcock Chief Engineering and Technology Officer, Brad Yelland, said combining both autonomous systems with advanced software that can deal with potential cyber threats could be a game changer in the modern defence landscape.

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 68% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-US$51m free cash flow). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (17% average weekly change). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (68% increase in shares outstanding). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable next year (US$17m net loss next year). Revenue is less than US$5m (US$1.9m revenue). Anuncio • Sep 06

Arqit Quantum Inc. and Blue Bear Successfully Demonstrates Quantum Safe Military Drones Arqit Quantum Inc. and Blue Bear Systems Research Ltd. announced the successful demonstration of a quantum safe communication channel to secure data transmissions?—powered by Arqit’s QuantumCloud technology hosted on Blue Bear’s Smart Connect™ device, an ‘inter-swarm’ autonomy brain that tasks multiple uncrewed systems to deliver collaborative multi-domain missions. This is the first time C4ISR quantum safe communications with rotating symmetric keys has been enabled using a lightweight software protocol for small drones. On 29 June and 12 July 2022, Blue Bear simulated and flew mock ISR (Information Surveillance and Reconnaissance) missions using their ATAK-hosted Centurion™ mission system for C2 (Command and Control) of a drone using full symmetric encryption of task and target data secured by Arqit’s symmetric key agreement platform. During the mission, image data of potential targets was encrypted and relayed securely using Arqit’s quantum safe communications tunnel. Additionally, through active authorization of endpoints and frequent rotation of symmetric keys, the attack surface area was limited and perfect secrecy of the data was achieved. The combined Arqit and Blue Bear’s quantum safe communication solution is scalable. It can be applied to any data transmission path between operators, mission systems and crewed/uncrewed vehicles. The solution can be used on any open or closed network in C2 of air, land or sea borne systems and is agnostic of the communication bearers (e.g. point-to-point datalinks, mesh datalinks, 5G, SATCOM, fibre and optical links).
