Managed Security Services
for a Post-Quantum World
QuantumGuard delivers managed security services for high-assurance environments across commercial and government contexts: phishing-resistant authentication, enterprise identity federation, tamper-evident audit logging, and incident response support.
The Threat to Enterprise Security Posture
Organizations operating under long retention obligations face two compounding risks: cryptography chosen today may not hold for the lifetime of the data it protects, and the identity layer guarding access to it is still the most frequently attacked surface in the enterprise. Both are current procurement decisions with long-term consequences.
RSA and elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) are vulnerable to quantum algorithms such as Shor's algorithm. NIST estimates that cryptographically-relevant quantum computers may emerge within 10-15 years, creating long-term risks for data encrypted with current standards.
Adversaries can store encrypted data today with the intent to decrypt it once quantum computing becomes viable. This "harvest now, decrypt later" threat model affects any data with long-term confidentiality requirements, including medical records, legal documents, and classified information.
Passwords, SMS codes, and app-based one-time codes remain the leading entry point for account compromise. Regulated programs increasingly require phishing-resistant authentication and provable audit evidence, which legacy identity stacks were never designed to produce.

Use cases
Built for teams where access has to be provable
Regulated organizations share the same two obligations: control who can reach sensitive systems, and be able to prove it afterwards. QuantumGuard delivers both as a managed service — phishing-resistant authentication, federated identity, and tamper-evident audit records.
A regional health system gives thousands of clinicians access to patient records. Every one of those logins is a way in.
HIPAA requires access controls and audit records over protected health information. Shared workstations, high staff turnover, and password-based logins make the identity layer the hardest part of that requirement to satisfy consistently.
The exposure
A single phished clinician credential can expose diagnoses, medications, and financial information across an entire record system — and without reliable audit trails, the true scope of the breach is difficult to establish after the fact.
