EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Joel Van Dyk is a senior cybersecurity advisor with over 20 years' experience securing financial infrastructure at some of the world's most complex institutions — including LSEG, DTCC, JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank, and Morgan Stanley. He specialises in post-quantum cryptography, cryptographic agility, and quantum risk in financial systems, advising boards, executives, and security teams across North America, Europe, and the UK on how to prepare for the cryptographic transition that is already underway.
Joel has testified before the European Parliament on quantum security in financial infrastructure, and brings that same clarity to clients who need to move from awareness to action. His background spans security architecture, governance, risk and controls, and cloud security — built across decades of operating at the intersection of deep technical complexity and high-stakes regulatory environments.
He is an advisor to Project Eleven and writes the weekly briefing This Week in Quantum Security, read by security professionals and executives across the financial sector. He works with clients globally, and is based in London.
