Future-proof your security against emerging quantum threats

Protect data from existing and novel threats while addressing compliance standards

Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC) - Problem Statement

PROBLEM

Today's encrypted secrets are tomorrow's security breaches

Conventional cryptography that underpins today’s Internet — namely RSA and ECC — faces an existential threat as quantum computing advances, leading standards bodies to call for them to be deprecated by the year 2030. "Harvest now, decrypt later" adversaries can actively collect encrypted communications today with the expectation that quantum computers will be able to decrypt the harvested communications in the future.
