Lastwall secures 16 million dollar Series A extension to expand quantum-resilient cyber defense across Canadian critical infrastructure. - has anyone done this

[Always_David72]

Lastwall announced on May 27 a 16 million dollar Series A extension investment led by the Business Development Bank of Canada. The company specialises in identity-first authentication and quantum-resilient software, and will use the funding to expand operations across Canadian municipal utilities, defence infrastructure, and public sector cloud portals.

Lastwall's technology combines behavioural telemetry with post-quantum cryptography to protect critical infrastructure. The Canadian government backing through BDC signals national strategic intent to build domestic quantum-resilient security capability rather than depending entirely on US vendors.

Government-backed investment in domestic quantum-resilient security is exactly what the post-CHIPS Act quantum strategy looks like outside the US. Canada is not waiting for US vendors to solve this

Behavioural telemetry combined with post-quantum cryptography is the defence-in-depth approach. PQC protects the encryption layer. Behavioural analysis catches anomalies that bypass cryptography entirely

Municipal utilities and defence infrastructure as the target deployment is the correct priority ordering. These are the systems where a quantum-enabled breach would have the most catastrophic consequences

16 million at Series A extension stage suggests they have product-market fit and are scaling rather than still searching for product direction. BDC backing at this stage means Canadian government sees this as strategic not speculative

The identity-first framing is interesting. Most PQC solutions are protocol-level. Identity-first means the authentication mechanism itself is the primary quantum-hardened layer, which is where most attacks ultimately target
