Adnovum launches Quantum Resilience Services to support the transition to quantum-safe cryptography

4:48

With its Quantum Resilience Services, Adnovum addresses a growing challenge for organizations that rely on cryptography to protect sensitive data, digital identities, online services, software updates, Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), TLS certificates, and business-critical infrastructure. The offering provides clarity and structure in a complex transition. It helps organizations raise internal awareness, understand their exposure to quantum-related risks, and identify where action is needed first.

A key element is the creation of a Crypto Asset Inventory that provides visibility into where cryptography is used across the organization, including applications, certificates, protocols, and infrastructure components. This creates the foundation for informed decision-making and migration planning. Building on these insights, Adnovum supports organizations throughout the transition with targeted consulting and a pragmatic roadmap: from initial assessment and prioritization to planning, governance and implementation.

«Preparing for the post-quantum era is not simply a technology exercise. It requires a clear understanding of cryptographic dependencies, effective governance, and a realistic implementation strategy,» says Samuel Bärfuss, Managing Director Cybersecurity Services at Adnovum. «Organizations that start today will be better prepared for future regulatory requirements and the transition to quantum-safe security.»

Why it is important to act now

Quantum computing poses a future threat to today’s widely used public-key cryptography. While quantum computers capable of breaking these algorithms do not yet exist, security experts warn of so-called «harvest now, decrypt later» attacks, in which encrypted data is collected today and decrypted once sufficient quantum capabilities become available. This is particularly relevant for long-lived confidential data that must remain protected for many years or even decades, such as customer records, health information, intellectual property, financial data, or government and critical infrastructure information.

The response is post-quantum cryptography (PQC), a new generation of cryptographic standards designed to withstand both classical and quantum attacks. Standards bodies have published the first PQC standards, technology providers are introducing quantum-safe solutions, and regulatory expectations are increasing.

Replacing algorithms is only part of the challenge

In transitioning to quantum-safe cryptography, adopting PQC is only part of the challenge. Over decades, cryptography has become deeply embedded in applications, infrastructure, cloud services, software libraries, hardware components, and legacy systems. Organizations first need to understand where cryptography is used, which systems and data are most exposed, and how migration can be planned in a controlled and business-aligned way.

«Organizations often ask when quantum computing will become a reality. The more relevant question is how long their data needs to remain protected and how much time they will need to migrate their systems,» says Sonia Duc, Quantum Resilience Lead at Adnovum. «For organizations handling sensitive or regulated information, preparation needs to begin well before practical quantum computers become available.»
