The threat posed by future quantum computers is no longer theoretical. When these machines arrive (or sooner) today’s encryption systems will be at risk, as quantum algorithms such as Shor’s could break widely used public-key schemes. Experts speak of a looming “Q-Day”, and the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has set out a clear, phased PQC roadmap we should all act on now....
If you're wondering “When does my F5 expire?” (whether it's hardware, software or virtual) you're not alone. Many people run into critical lifecycle milestones without realising it, putting performance, security, and compliance at risk.
 FullProxy is announcing a partnership to deliver managed certificate lifecycle management services with AppViewX, becoming the first in the UK to do so. This strategic partnership, which began in 2024, will enable FullProxy to provide cutting-edge, fully managed certificate lifecycle automation and crypto-agility to its clients, addressing the growing challenges of certificate management in an evolving security landscape.
Someone asked us recently how we got our name, and we enjoyed answering the question so much we thought we’d share the story - and get full proxies explained at the same time.
In this blog, learn the importance of shifting to a platform-based approach. Traditional cyber security approaches reliant on isolated, fragmented solutions are proving insufficient. We see increasing evidence of the main pain points that effect business and public sector organisations: 
The push for certificate lifecycle reduction stems from a fundamental truth: certificate lifecycle management is not a team member’s core job role – it's often an afterthought and annoyance, a general admin task. With these changes, this will fundamentally not be the case.
The recent Harrods, Co-Op and M&S cyber attacks have sent shockwaves through the UK retail sector, raising urgent questions about how prepared major brands truly are for today’s threat landscape. If attackers can successfully penetrate the networks of such high profile, presumably expensively defended networks, what can we do to avoid being next?
The arrival of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is no longer a theoretical concern, it’s a strategic imperative for businesses across the globe. The UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) recently issued updated guidance that underscores the urgency for all organisations, particularly those operating critical infrastructure or bespoke IT systems, to begin their migration to PQC today.
In the rapidly evolving world of network infrastructure, staying current is not just a best practice—it’s a necessity. For F5 users, this means keeping your BIG-IP systems up to date with the latest supported versions. You can find out if you're due for a an upgrade with our bespoke F5 Software Countdown!
Digital Certificates are a cornerstone of modern cyber security, serving as a crucial mechanism for maintaining secure, encrypted communications between an end user and a web server. Certificates play a multifaceted role in the digital landscape, but what specific attributes do they offer?
