Quantum Threat Is Real—Are You Ready to Respond?

Quantum computing is shifting from the pages of science fiction into tangible reality, and with it comes a massive shakeup to cybersecurity as we know it. Once deployed at scale, quantum computers will be capable of breaking today's public key encryption—rendering core security protocols like RSA, ECC, and DSA ineffective.

The impact will be very real on all organizations, as over 95% of businesses rely on asymmetric encryption keys, widely used for secure communication, TLS/VPNs, digital signatures, authenticated logins, and so much more.

And if you still think there is time, know this: bad actors are already harvesting encrypted data today, intending to decrypt it later using quantum power.

The Path to Post-Quantum Readiness Isn’t Optional — It’s Urgent

Governments have already begun to mandate PQC adoption. U.S. federal agencies, for instance, face a 2030 deadline to secure critical systems against quantum threats. But private-sector businesses, especially those processing plenty of PII or PHI data in finance, cannot afford to wait. Why?

Because transitioning to PQC is not a patch or quick algorithm fix — it's a multi-year effort that involves crypto inventories, infrastructure updates, vendor alignment, and a new level of cryptographic agility.

So How Do You Get Started?

If many businesses are still contemplating the PQC conversation, it is because they really do not know where to start. One of the biggest challenges many enterprises face is that they do not have visibility into their current cryptographic posture.

Complexity arises because:

• There is no complete inventory of where and how cryptography or certificates are used, and which services or applications they apply to.
• Legacy IT systems may use outdated or undocumented cryptographic components that have no quantum-safe replacements in place.
• Changes to cryptographic components can break integrations or workflows.
• Siloed tools and teams to prevent coordinated quantum readiness.

How Fortanix Simplifies the PQC Initiative

Here at Fortanix, we transform PQC migration complexity into actionable insights, strategic priorities, and streamlined operations. With the discovery and assessment of cryptographic assets, guided roadmap, and migration, enterprises can now accelerate readiness, reduce risk and cost, and confidently navigate the journey with clear objectives and control.

The key capabilities are part of 4 step approach and include: Fortanix offering the industry’s only unified, end-to-end platform purpose-built to accelerate post-quantum cryptography readiness.

It starts with Fortanix Key Insight, which automatically discovers cryptographic assets and maps encryption key usage across on-prem and multicloud environments. This gives you a full picture of where quantum vulnerabilities lie.

From there, Fortanix guides you through assessment, prioritization, and planning—transforming quantum complexity into a clear action plan.

Then, the Fortanix Data Security Manager (DSM) enables crypto agility by letting organizations switch cryptographic algorithms across systems without hardware changes or service disruptions.

Its software-based architecture supports seamless algorithm upgrades and is built on Confidential Computing, ensuring verified and trusted software execution. By combining automated discovery, centralized policy management, and secure key storage in FIPS 140-2 Level 3 HSMs, Fortanix removes the roadblocks to PQC adoption.

Whether you're building a roadmap, managing compliance, or transitioning to live environments, Fortanix helps you do it securely, quickly, and on a scale.
