Traditional cybersecurity solutions are struggling to
keep pace with the evolving tactics of
cybercriminals. As technology advances, so do the
methods used by hackers to exploit vulnerabilities.
Therefore, there is an urgent need for new-age
cybersecurity solutions that can adapt and respond to these
ever-changing threats effectively.
Innovative cybersecurity solutions are crucial to
safeguarding sensitive information, protecting digital assets,
and ensuring the integrity of online systems. By investing in
cutting-edge technologies, organizations can enhance their
cybersecurity posture and stay ahead of cyber threats.
Portalz Pty Ltd enters the scene as a prominent player.
Founded by Wolfgang Flatow (CEO and Inventor), the
company stands out as a top provider of state-of-the-art
cybersecurity solutions specifically designed to tackle
today's most complex and critical security challenges. With
a passion for innovation and a commitment to safeguarding
digital assets, Wolfgang leads his team in developing
advanced solutions that confidently empower businesses to
navigate the ever-evolving cyber threat landscape.
Meet the Tech-savvy Leader
Throughout his four-decade journey in the IT field,
Wolfgang has been involved in various facets. It all began
at the dawn of personal computing in the 80s, crafting
9

programs for Xerox, Commodore 64 and Amiga, Atari ST,
Apple II, Macintosh, and IBM PCs
In the early stages of his career, he developed specialist
calculators, simulated planetary orbits, and created games.
Notably, his Joker Poker game was bundled with
Commodore PCs and then ported to six PC brands.
Wolfgang designed and developed a groundbreaking client
queuing application for Q Systems Perth in 1990,
controlling numerous peripherals and featuring innovative
user interfaces, that sold globally to governments, social
security agencies, and businesses.
Between 1991 and 2001 Wolfgang worked for software
companies like Southern Group, Rio Tinto, and I Need Hits
in Perth. In 2003, he founded CertainEdge Pty Ltd in
Brisbane that commercialized his patented Universal
Database Schema (UDS). Subsequently, he and his team
created UniDap, a rapid application development (RAD)
enterprise platform leveraging his UDS architecture.
UniDap provides effective solutions to government and
business entities across the globe.
Wolfgang has continued R&D in pursuit of improved IT
architecture and solutions to universal system problems,
including:
l Universal Taxonomy – a global categorization ID
standard
l Standalone Trust Platforms – immutable data systems
without distributed blockchain
l Guaranteed Security – impenetrable data and
enterprise systems security
In 2018, he began researching complex numbers and the
infinitely complex Mandelbrot Set. Two patent-pending
technologies emerged: 1) Fractal Asset Management
– visible fractal asset tokens residing in and
secured by fractals and 2) Fractal Transformation
– universal fractal data encryption. “Fractal
Transformation led to the formation of Portalz
Pty Ltd in 2022. Fractal security R&D has
led to a rich and versatile new art and
science, revolutionizing cybersecurity,
particularly in the Post Quantum era,” states
Wolfgang.
Unparalleled Protection Against Quantum
Attacks
Wolfgang proudly states, “Our Fractal Transform
IP delivers 'security certainty' to cybersecurity; a
critical breakthrough and paradigm shift from the
current 'everything is crackable' baseline.” This
revolutionary advance offers unparalleled protection
against Quantum Attacks orchestrated by well
funded criminal hackers, weaponized AI and
Quantum Computer decryption.
Portalz's mission is to deliver
guaranteed Fractal Transform
Data Hardening for personal
and enterprise computer
systems. The company has
®
launched Quantum Bunker
for Windows, your personal
data, password, and login
Fractal Vault, the first
10

able to guarantee impenetrability of Vault data. Portalz is
®
also expanding to deliver Quantum Bunker to other
operating systems and to bring Fractal Transform security
to files and databases.
As a key player in cybersecurity, Wolfgang knows that
governments, military, intelligence agencies, corporations,
and individuals depend on classic block encryption
methods, which are now vulnerable to quantum attacks.
Portalz offers a guaranteed solution to the most significant
cybersecurity threat in history: the imminent danger posed
by Quantum Computer decryption of classic encryption.
Quantum Attacks combine hacker resources, AI, and
Quantum Computers to crack fortress defenses and break
classic encryption to access protected data. In contrast to
classic encrypted ciphers, Fractal Transformed ciphers
cannot be cracked by any means, including Quantum
Computers.
Fractal Transformation: A New Era in Cybersecurity
Fractal Transformation is Portalz's cybersecurity
breakthrough; data is secured in the Mandelbrot Fractal.
Unlike traditional block encryption methods, Fractal
Transformation operates differently. It acts over the entire
payload with a continuous unique fractal stream, rendering
the original data inaccessible, it no longer exists in the
cipher.
Unlike classic encryption, Fractal Transformation cannot be
compromised through brute-force attacks; there is no finite
algorithm or finite key set.
The fractal dimension is infinitely complex, unique and
unpredictable. Fractal Transformation creates a portal
between the physical and fractal dimensions that only you
can open.
R&D: The Journey to Impenetrable Cybersecurity
Classic block encryption methods safeguarding
communications, servers, storage drives, files, and
passwords are penetrable. They have proven vulnerable to
conventional and Quantum Computer breaches.
Six years of R&D has resulted in the creation of patentpending
Fractal Transformation IP, marking a breakthrough
in achieving impenetrable security.
Data protected by Fractal Transformation offers a guarantee
of impenetrability. The cybersecurity strategy at Portalz
revolves around the concept of Impenetrable Data
Hardening, involving the eliminating of plain-text sensitive
information from storage drives, networks, and computer
memory.
By incorporating Fractal Transformation we eliminate
cybersecurity risks at the data level. This approach works
hand in hand with classic Fortress security measures. In the
event of Fortress security breach, sensitive plain-text data
remains inaccessible.
Ethical Cybersecurity Considerations
Wolfgang and his team meet and surpass all regulatory
security standards. Under his leadership, the Portalz team
prioritizes ethical considerations, particularly concerning
privacy, safeguarding personal and private information, and
shielding against Quantum Attacks.
While breaches in government and corporate security
dominate the news, Portalz is deeply concerned about the
devastating impact on individual users.
Their goal is to show a world plagued by cyber threats from
hackers, AI, and Quantum Computers that a guaranteed
solution exists. They have a new security foundation to
build a new security future.
New Encryption Standard
Portalz's vision is founded upon Fractal Transformation,
aiming to integrate or replace classic encryption methods
currently in use. With the emergence of AI and Quantum
Computer threats to classic encryption there is a pressing
need for alternatives. This echoes a historical event when
DES was compromised in 1996, leading to its replacement
with AES. However, replacing AES today comes with
significantly higher costs and challenges due to the
exponential growth of global IT.
Now the entire global IT community, including
governments, militaries, intelligence agencies, corporations,
and software developers, faces the critical decision of
selecting the next encryption standard. While NIST is
selecting 'quantum-resistant algorithms', Portalz brings
guaranteed impenetrability.
Fractal Transformation is built on entirely new foundations,
ensuring guaranteed cipher impenetrability by any means,
including Quantum Computers. It is a new art and science
11

that does not correlate with classic encryption algorithms,
offering a new foundation for cybersecurity. “Whatever the
new standard, it will be expensive to implement; choosing
the most effective solution is critical. We are very excited to
offer a guaranteed solution” says Wolfgang.
Unveiling the Menace of Quantum Attack in
Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity is clearly in disarray, including the new threat
of Quantum Attack, a combination of:

Quantum Bunker provides unequaled security assurance
and guarantee.
The first guaranteed impenetrable storage of personal
®
information, Quantum Bunker secures keys, passwords,
logins, banking, and private information in impenetrable
fractal vaults:
These pose significant risks of criminal infiltration, privacy
breaches, service disruptions, reputation damage, ransom
demands and theft. IT systems face continuous attack
resulting in theft of money, sensitive data, trade secrets and
identities. Ransoms are demanded, privacy is violated, and
confidence in systems is shaken, often leading to
bankruptcy for both companies and individuals. Wolfgang
believes that if cybersecurity were effective, such breaches
would be rare. However, such breaches are, unfortunately,
quite common.
Emerging Trends Shaping the Cybersecurity Industry
According to Wolfgang, primary concern for emerging
cybersecurity revolves around weaponised AI fusion with
Quantum Computers. This concern has been underscored by
urgent memos issued from the White House to all
departments, instructing them to devise strategies to address
this issue, a sentiment echoed by governments worldwide. It
appears that Impenetrable Fractal Transformation has come
into existence just in time. “Our solutions directly target
these threats, significantly improving current and future
cybersecurity,” says Wolfgang.
Quoting Einstein “You cannot solve a problem with the
same mindset that created it”, Wolfgang states “The
solution to classic encryption Quantum Computer
vulnerability requires new foundations at the core of
encryption technologies”.
