On the evening of 12 June 2026, the US government did something no administration had done before. It reached into a frontier AI model that was already serving the public and ordered it switched off. The reasoning, the precedent, and the unresolved tension at the centre of the case matter well beyond a single company.…
OSTRAVA, Czech Republic. On Tuesday, 24 March 2026, the Czech team of Decent Cybersecurity took part in the Defence Tech Innovation 2026 conference in Ostrava, a day-long strategic platform that brought together the defense industry, the research community, and the public sector to discuss the technological future of defense and national resilience. The conference assembled…
When humanity speaks across the vacuum of space, whether between a flight director on the ground and an astronaut on an orbital station, or between two ground stations relayed by a satellite constellation, the integrity of those words is no longer a matter of engineering alone. It is a matter of cryptography. With cryptographically relevant…
Author: Peter Pekarčík PhD. · Post-Quantum Cryptographer at Decent Cybersecurity 1. Introduction The advent of quantum computing represents a fundamental threat to current asymmetric cryptographic systems. Algorithms such as RSA, DSA, and ECDH (respectively ECC) are vulnerable to Shor’s algorithm [1], which enables, on a sufficiently powerful quantum computer, efficient solutions to both the integer…
Editor’s note: A version of this article was first published in Slovak by the author in Pravda on 10 April 2026. The text below is an English adaptation prepared for an international readership. The original piece is available here. Critical infrastructure has become one of the principal instruments of geopolitical rivalry. Hybrid threats combine cyber attacks, physical sabotage,…
For years, the quantum threat lived in the margins of EU cybersecurity regulation. That just changed. On 20 January 2026, the European Commission published COM(2026) 13 final, a proposed directive amending NIS2 as part of a broader cybersecurity simplification package. The proposal touches on everything from ransomware reporting to cross-border supervision. But tucked inside the…
Decent Cybersecurity Ireland has been selected for U-HARRIER, one of 57 projects funded under the European Defence Fund 2025. The company will deliver post-quantum cryptography and AI-driven cyber resilience for a 300 kg heavy-lift military UAV designed to operate in contested, GNSS-denied environments. Decent Cybersecurity Ireland has been selected as a consortium partner in U-HARRIER,…
The clock is ticking. At Davos 2026, IonQ’s CEO warned that Q-Day, when quantum computers can break today’s encryption, may arrive within three years. Google has compared quantum computing’s current trajectory to AI five years ago, just before its explosive growth. Yet according to Bain & Company, 90% of executives still lack a quantum security…
Decent Cybersecurity s.r.o. has formally launched a new research and development project focused on secure communications for space applications, with a total project volume exceeding €4 million. The project is funded under Program Slovensko 2021–2027 and co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund. The project, titled Bezpečná komunikácia vo vesmírnom výskume (Secure Communication in Space…
The rise of quantum technology is fundamentally shifting digital security. To address new challenges, Decent Cybersecurity collaborated with Frequentis and the Slovak Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs at an Innovation Day. This gathering represented the 34th edition of the Innovation Day series. Our primary goal involved quantum-proofing future critical infrastructure through advanced technological cooperation…
