BETHESDA, August 13, 2024 -- Quantum Xchange announces its crypto discovery and quantum-safe deployment platform supports the Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) standard specifications announced today by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST).

In addition to its ability to deploy all NIST-standard PQCs via Phio TX, Quantum Xchange’s FIPS validated key delivery system and quantum-safe VPN, the company offers CipherInsights, a network monitoring, cryptographic discovery, and risk assessment tool capable of identifying and prioritizing quantum-vulnerable cryptography for replacement – the first step in an organization’s inevitable migration to PQCs. For those organizations that are further along in their crypto discovery and inventory phase, CipherInsights includes a PQC status dashboard to track the progress of migration efforts and deploying the new standard algorithms.

The PQC standard is only the beginning of this multiyear cryptographic transition that will require nearly every organization in the world to replace their classic encryption with quantum-safe solutions. NIST’s National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence, Migration to PQC Project, for which Quantum Xchange is a contributing member, highly recommends organizations begin with a systems audit and inventory of all cryptography in use throughout the enterprise. From there, risk analysis, prioritization, and remediation efforts can take place.

“Because quantum computers are not yet commercially available to test these standardized algorithms in real-world settings, unknowns and uncertainties will persist,” said Eddy Zervigon, CEO of Quantum Xchange. “The best way to guard against the quantum threat and cryptography’s single points of failure, is to know your enterprise encryption – where it’s weak or outright lacking – using a tool like CipherInsights. Then embrace crypto-agility and diversification by leveraging an out-of-band key delivery platform like Phio TX that can bring your existing infrastructure into the quantum era easily and affordably.”

What sets Quantum Xchange apart is its quantum-safe solutions are easy to deploy, can scale to meet changing business or security requirements with very little lift or outlay, and offers a robust feature set to overcome both everyday vulnerabilities introduced by common encryption practices and yet-to-be-discovered threats.
