As the threat of quantum computing grows, QuSecure has announced a strategic collaboration with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence to support the Migration to Post-Quantum Cryptography Project Consortium. Through this initiative, the company aims to raise awareness about the challenges of transitioning to quantum-resistant algorithms while helping develop practical strategies for organizations to move away from vulnerable cryptographic systems.
As quantum computing advances, traditional public-key cryptography faces the risk of becoming obsolete. Therefore, organizations must begin identifying and replacing vulnerable algorithms across their hardware, software, and services. In response to this growing concern, the National Institute of Standards and Technology has already developed standardized post-quantum cryptographic algorithms designed to safeguard digital information against future quantum threats. Consequently, enterprises are under increasing pressure to adopt these new standards and prepare for long-term security resilience.
“Public-key cryptography is widely used to protect today’s digital information,” said William Newhouse, Security Engineer, NIST National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence. “With the advent of quantum computing, and its potential to compromise many of the current cryptographic algorithms, it is critical that organizations begin to plan for many of the technological and operational challenges that a migration to post-quantum cryptography will present. This project aims to help organizations in that effort.”
Moreover, as part of the consortium, QuSecure will collaborate with vendors specializing in automated cryptography discovery and inventory solutions. This effort will focus on understanding how these tools perform across diverse enterprise environments and use cases. In addition, QuSecure will conduct testing within NCCoE lab environments to evaluate enterprise post-quantum cryptography (PQC) tools, identify capability gaps, and strengthen migration strategies.
By contributing technical expertise, the company will also help address key challenges such as interoperability, implementation performance, and coordination with standards bodies. As a result, the collaboration aims to create more efficient and scalable pathways for organizations transitioning to post-quantum security frameworks.
“This collaboration with the NCCoE brings industry leaders together to tackle one of today’s most pressing cybersecurity challenges – the transition to post-quantum cryptography,” said Garfield Jones, QuSecure SVP, Research & Technology Strategy. “By working across government, industry, and academia, we can help organizations identify quantum-vulnerable systems, manage risk, and prepare for a secure, quantum-resilient future.”
Furthermore, the project will initially focus on demonstrating the effectiveness of automated discovery tools in identifying quantum-vulnerable public-key algorithms that are widely deployed. At the same time, it will aim to improve migration strategies, enhance interoperability, and optimize performance across implementations. Additionally, the initiative will support outreach efforts to standards organizations and industry sectors, ensuring broader adoption and alignment.
Ultimately, this collaboration highlights a critical shift in cybersecurity priorities as organizations prepare for the quantum era. By combining industry expertise with government-led initiatives, QuSecure and NCCoE are helping enterprises proactively address emerging risks and build a foundation for long-term, quantum-resilient security.
