AWANTEC launched PQC-Ready Services for Public and Private Sectors

CYBERJAYA, 14 NOVEMBER 2025 – AwanBiru Technology Berhad (“Awantec”), a premier technology and talent digitalisation enabler, today announced PQC-Ready services to help public and private sectors begin a safe, staged transition to post-quantum cryptography. Anchored to Awantec’s Five Interconnected Pillars – Cyber Risk & Compliance Services, Managed Security Controls, Threat Intelligence & Advisory, Platform & Automation (roadmap), and Training & Talent Development – the offering starts with a Cryptographic Inventory and a PQC Readiness Assessment, giving organisations clear visibility of their cryptographic footprint and a practical migration plan aligned to national expectations.

Designed to minimise disruption, the programme prioritises high-impact zones first, establishing an accurate view of active certificates, policies, and key lifecycles, identifying quick wins, and sequencing pilots that support compliance under NACSA guidance and PTPKM. This approach helps agencies and GLCs prepare for PQC adoption while maintaining service continuity across cloud, identity, applications, and endpoints.

Awantec underscored this direction at the International Conference and Exhibition on Post-Quantum Cryptography Technologies 2025 (ICE-PQC) in Universiti Putra Malaysia, where the company demonstrated working patterns customers can adopt in near-term pilots.

“These validations show that PQC can be implemented today, successful integration tests on GCP, Google Workspace, and Chrome Enterprise using local KAZ-SIGN and KAZ-KEM." said Mr. Chok Joon Heng, Awantec's Chief Operating Officer. "The first step of any PQC migration, however, is knowing where your keys and certificates live, through a cryptographic inventory, before considering phased rollout.”

PQC validations demonstrated at ICE-PQC 2025 via the 3-months National PQC Sandbox Program:

• PQC runs on Google Cloud, Google Workspace, and Chrome without disrupting normal use

• Data-encryption keys can use PQC protection behind the scenes with no app changes.

• PQC digital signatures can be added through a smart gateway without major code rewrites.

• The approach fits cloud systems, logins/identity, and user devices for end-to-end readiness.

These results guide near-term action: confirm feasibility, start with cryptographic inventory, run targeted pilots in safe domains, then progress to phased adoption as readiness matures. This forward-looking approach positions Awantec at the forefront of Malaysia’s transition to a quantum-resilient digital economy.
