Photarix is a Lancaster University spin-out developing quantum-secure photonic hardware for the next generation of communication networks.
Our vision is to make quantum-secure communication practical and affordable by delivering compact, low-cost single-photon sources that operate efficiently at, or close to, room temperature.
These devices are designed for seamless integration into fibre-optic networks, providing the hardware backbone for Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and future-proof data security.

Cytix is the first truly continuous security testing platform, focused on identifying change and using it to intelligently determine when to test.
Whether it’s a developer making a pull request, threat intelligence about a new vulnerability, or a new server being deployed, we take feeds of data from across your technology stack and use this as telemetry to determine what has changed and what actions need to be taken to assess the impact that this has had on security.
Simply connect us to your existing workflows through our list of pre-built integrations or leverage the suite of native tools within our platform. We bridge the gap between automation and manual testing by identifying what actions are needed at any time and carrying them out as a sequence of tasks. Through this, we are able to minimise the time between vulnerabilities being introduced and being identified, and provide the information you need in order to resolve them as efficiently as possible.
We support applications, APIs, cloud-native services, and traditional infrastructure, providing you with a centralised platform from which to build a continuous security testing programme. We are CREST-accredited and our product can either be used to drive an internal security testing programme, or as a fully managed service.
Watch as your entire security testing programme runs automatically.

85% of AI pilots die in PowerPoint. Digica exists for the other 15%, where algorithms meet atoms and theory meets Thursday’s target. We build AI forged in production, proven under pressure, deployed where failure costs lives and livelihoods.
What makes us different:
We dont transform operations - we fortify them. We dont replace your workforce - we amplify them. While others promise perfect conditions, we specialise in making AI work with legacy equipment, sparse data, and real-world constraints.
Where we operate:
Manufacturing floors facing 2.1 million unfilled jobs. Combat zones where $500 drones defeat $5M systems. Anywhere operations matter more than innovation theatre.
Our track record:
300+ deployments across manufacturing and defence. Zero still in PowerPoint. From predictive maintenance preventing $47,000/hour downtime to radar systems operational in Ukraine today.
Who we serve:
Operations directors who need Thursdays results, not next years promises. Programme managers deploying in 90 days because threats evolve in 30. Engineers who know constraints arent limitations - theyre competitive advantages.
