About Smith Networks
We help enterprise, government, and financial services teams understand cryptographic exposure, prioritize remediation, and plan a standards-aligned path to post-quantum readiness.
Our story
Built for the post-quantum transition
Quantum-era cryptography is no longer a theoretical concern—it’s a planning horizon. Smith Networks was formed to help organizations move from uncertainty to an actionable, defensible program.
We combine hands-on security engineering with executive-ready communication. Our work translates complex cryptographic dependencies into clear exposure scoring, risk narratives, and migration roadmaps aligned to relevant standards and guidance.
Our goal is simple: give leaders a clear view of cryptographic risk today—and a practical plan to reduce it over time.
Jim Smith, CEO
Whether you’re starting with discovery or already piloting post-quantum algorithms, we meet you where you are and help you progress with rigor, transparency, and measurable outcomes.
How we work
A repeatable approach designed for complex environments—built to support both technical teams and executive stakeholders.
Step 1
Cryptographic discovery & dependency mapping
Identify where cryptography lives across applications, infrastructure, and third parties—then map dependencies that drive real-world migration complexity.
Step 2
Exposure scoring & board-ready reporting
Translate findings into prioritized risk—clear enough for leadership, detailed enough for engineering execution.
Step 3
Migration planning & validation
Create a phased roadmap, validate changes, and reduce disruption—especially in high-availability and regulated environments.
Leadership
Senior, hands-on expertise focused on measurable outcomes and clear communication.
