⌐■ Post-Quantum Cryptographic Threat Intelligence

The quantum threat
is not coming.
It is already here.

Nation-state adversaries are harvesting your encrypted traffic today — storing it until a quantum computer can decrypt it. CipherQ reveals every vulnerability in your cryptographic posture before the window closes.

Harvest Now,
Decrypt Later.

Nation-state actors are conducting large-scale collection of encrypted traffic today. When a Cryptographically Relevant Quantum Computer arrives — estimated 2030–2035 — every byte protected by RSA, ECDH, or ECC will be retroactively readable. The attack is already underway.

HNDL — Harvest Now, Decrypt Later

Intelligence agencies and advanced persistent threat actors are collecting and archiving encrypted traffic at scale. Any data protected by classical asymmetric cryptography today will be retrospectively decrypted the moment quantum hardware is capable.

CRQC — The Cryptographic Event Horizon

A Cryptographically Relevant Quantum Computer with ~4,000 stable logical qubits can execute Shor's algorithm to factor RSA keys and solve discrete logarithms. NSA and NIST both project this capability arriving between 2030 and 2035.

CNSA 2.0 — Binding Compliance Mandate

The NSA's Commercial National Security Algorithm Suite 2.0 mandates migration to ML-KEM (key exchange), ML-DSA (signatures), and SLH-DSA by 2027–2035. Non-compliance risks federal contracts, insurance coverage, and regulatory standing.

■ Platform Overview

Four steps to
quantum-readiness.

01 / 04

Discover

Deep TLS inspection, Certificate Transparency log crawling, DNS enumeration, and subdomain discovery map your complete cryptographic attack surface — including shadow IT and forgotten endpoints you didn't know existed.

02 / 04

Probe

Differential KEX probing negotiates both classical and post-quantum key exchanges to detect actual PQ capability — not just advertised support. Cipher suites, protocol versions, and algorithm preferences are precisely fingerprinted.

03 / 04

Analyze

Findings are scored via the Quantum Exposure Index (QEI), weighted by your data sensitivity profile. HNDL risk windows, certificate lifecycles, and compliance gaps are cross-referenced against CNSA 2.0, FIPS 203/204, and sector mandates.

04 / 04

Remediate

Actionable CBOM reports, vendor scorecards, and prioritized remediation paths give every stakeholder — from CISO to developer — the exact signal they need, complete with regulatory mapping and migration timelines.

■ Regulatory Countdown

The migration clock
is running.

NIST and NSA have published binding standards. Federal agencies face hard deadlines. The window for orderly migration is closing — organizations that wait will face emergency remediation costs orders of magnitude higher than acting now.
