Adversaries don’t need a quantum computer to start attacking your data. Encrypted traffic intercepted today can be stored cheaply and decrypted the day quantum computing matures. Regulations demand you start building your crypto inventory.
If your data must stay confidential for ten years or more, the exposure to Harvest now, decrypt later (HNDL) attacks began the moment it crossed a network. Examples of such data include:
Protected by default
Browsers, email, and cloud services are updated on a vendor's schedule in the background.
Exposed for years, possibly forever
Legacy applications and IT on proprietary protocols. OT and ICS with decades-long lifecycles. Embedded devices without the compute for post quantum algorithms. Third-party connections your organization doesn't control.
Across Europe, the United States and Asia-Pacific, governments and regulators have put dates on the move to post-quantum cryptography.

Your organization does not need a market-wide quantum safe rollout or a finished standard to get going. You also don’t need a finished inventory to start.
With quantum safe network encryption, you build resiliency and protect data in transit against harvest now, decrypt later while building your inventory. With a network encryptor like NQX , you can:
embed any data traffic inside a quantum-safe overlay at the network level (L2/L3)
protect all traffic, starting from the network backbone all the way to the application layer
secure app-to-app, site-to-site, data center to data center connections over untrusted networks with single solution
keep your infrastructure intact and quantum reslient

Creating a crypto inventory and Cryptographic Bill of Materials (CBOM) is a big task that might take years. Learn why your discovery phase should start with a Secure Shell inventory.
Quantum computing poses different risks to different encryption methods. Explore our comparison page to understand your options and why choosing the right approach to quantum safety matters for your company.
Network encryption based on PQC complements your installed base. Learn more about how our NQX Network Encryptor offers high-throughput quantum resiliency while allowing firewalls and VPNs do what they do best.
It's where harvest-now-decrypt-later hits first, and where protection can be added without changing systems
In anything you procure, so evolving standards never force a rip-and-replace upgrade.
EO deadlines, NIS2, DORA, ECB supervisory expectations — know which applies and what evidence you'll need to show.
While protecting data in transit, build your inventory and Cryptographic Bill of Materials (CBOM).
Which sensitive data crosses which links, and how long must it stay confidential?
NQX™ is a TL III (EU Confidential) certified quantum-safe network encryptor that protects data in transit at Layer 2 (Ethernet) and Layer 3 (IP) at up to 100 Gbps line rate. This includes classified data.
PrivX™ Key Manager
Discovers all your SSH-related assets, creates your PQC crypto-inventory, and analyzes your crypto-agility level (also on asset level).
PrivX™ Insights
A service built to take inventory of your cryptographic SSH assets together with our experts.
PrivX™ PAM
Secures privileged human and non-human identity (NHI) access to critical targets with quantum-safe sessions.
Tectia® SSH Server
Transparent, quantum safe tunneling for TCP applications without changing the apps.
Tectia® SSH Server for IBM z/OS
Future-proofs your mainframe communications with Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) algorithms.
Focus. Wrap your data in transit inside a PQC tunnel while you take an inventory of your long-lived, high-value data.
The question is not "when will quantum computers arrive?" but "how long must this data stay secret?" If the answer exceeds the harvest-now-decrypt-later horizon, the data is already at risk. Regulations in the US, EU, and Asia reflect exactly this logic.
Standards and guidance are still evolving so choose crypto-agility: a software-based approach where algorithms can run in parallel and be replaced without touching hardware. The wrong choice is waiting; the right choice is staying adaptable.
Protecting data at the network layer and with PQC wraps existing communications in quantum-safe encryption transparently. There are no application rewrites, no protocol changes, no touching systems that can't be patched. This is what makes data in transit the ideal first step.
Don't accept resilience-versus-throughput as a trade-off. Quantum-safe encryption at wire speed that includes high-throughput, low-latency links between data centers — is available today.
Quantum-safe migration is an opportunity to own your encryption. We can guarantee that keys are generated and held in your infrastructure, are non-exportable, and stay under your organization's control. This is a growing requirement for government, defense, finance, and critical infrastructure in Europe.
