The Quantum Threat

Harvest Now, Decrypt Later

Adversaries are already collecting encrypted traffic today — ready to decrypt it when quantum computers mature. NIST finalized post-quantum cryptography standards in 2025 (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA). The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (CCCS) and Treasury Board have issued active guidance for federal agencies to inventory and migrate quantum-vulnerable cryptography. The window to get ahead of this is closing.

The core challenge: most organizations have no idea where their quantum-vulnerable crypto lives. It's scattered across source code, third-party libraries, container images, TLS configurations, endpoint certificates, and cloud services. QuantumGuard finds all of it — automatically.

Purpose-Built Scanning. Six Layers.

Other consultants use spreadsheets and framework interviews. QuantumGuard deploys purpose-built scanners across every layer of your environment.

Source Code

Static analysis of codebases for cryptographic API usage — OpenSSL, BouncyCastle, JCA, Python cryptography, and more. Identifies algorithms, key sizes, and usage patterns directly in code.

Multi-language Git SCM Integration

Dependencies

Scans package manifests and SBOMs to identify crypto libraries pulled in transitively — not just what your developers wrote, but what every dependency brings in.

Python / npm / Maven SBOM / CBOM Export

Containers

Analyzes container images layer by layer using SBOM tooling to surface crypto libraries and certificates embedded in your container fleet — including base images.

Docker / OCI Registry Integration

Endpoints

Lightweight Go agent deployed to servers and workstations. Discovers installed crypto packages, TLS configurations, certificates, and SSH/GPG keys — runs once daily with near-zero performance impact.

Linux / Windows Read-only Agent

Cloud

Queries AWS, Azure, and GCP APIs to inventory cryptographic configurations — KMS keys, TLS policies, certificate managers, and managed crypto services across your cloud footprint.

AWS / Azure / GCP API-based, read-only

Kubernetes Clusters

Scans cluster workloads, secrets, and config maps for cryptographic material. Integrates with OpenShift and ECS. Deployed as a DaemonSet — no external connectivity required.

K8s / OpenShift / ECS Helm Deployment

The QuantumGuard Engagement

Automated scanning finds the assets. Expert practitioners turn the findings into an actionable plan. Four steps from blind spots to migration-ready.

01

Automated Discovery

Deploy QuantumGuard scanners across your environment. Source code, containers, endpoints, cloud, and clusters are scanned in parallel — hours, not weeks.

02

Crypto Inventory

Every cryptographic asset cataloged: algorithms, key lengths, certificate details, library versions, and locations — all in one consolidated view with CBOM export.

03

Risk Prioritization

Findings scored by quantum vulnerability, data sensitivity, system criticality, and migration complexity. Your team knows exactly what to fix first.

04

Migration Roadmap

Phase-by-phase PQC transition plan aligned to NIST ML-KEM, ML-DSA, and SLH-DSA standards. Realistic timelines anchored to your existing architecture and constraints.

What You Get

Concrete deliverables and outcomes from your QuantumGuard engagement.

Crypto Inventory

Complete catalog of cryptographic implementations across your environment — algorithms, key lengths, certificates, and locations. Full visibility into crypto you didn't know existed.

Risk Assessment Report

Prioritized analysis of quantum vulnerability by system, with data lifetime considerations and business impact ratings. Clear understanding of what needs attention first.

Migration Roadmap

Phase-by-phase transition plan aligned to NIST PQC standards. Specific recommendations your team can start implementing immediately, respecting your existing constraints.
