Large fault-tolerant quantum computers provide a substantial threat to existing public-key cryptography, rendering sensitive data and systems vulnerable to attacks. Moving to new encryption methods, however, may take a decade or longer to complete. In response, SandboxAQ just unveiled itsSandboxAQ Security Suite, an end-to-end cryptographic-agility platform providing cryptographic vulnerability scanning and remediation. SandboxAQ claims that its Security Suite is the industrys first complete solution for cryptographic inventory that includes analysis and inventory of filesystems, applications, and networks.

The SandboxAQ Security Suite architecture is based on three modules that enable discovery, management and remediation.

Enterprises and government agencies already making use of one or more modules of the SandboxAQ Security Suite include global banks, Cloudera, Informatica, the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. Strategic alliances are also in place with Deloitte and EY to help enterprise customers identify and remediate encryption vulnerabilities. Small organizations also able to benefit from the suite by subscribing to a SaaS service and paying only for the modules and usage they need. In comparison, large enterprise customers typically access the solution on-premises or self-hosted in their own cloud.

According to Graham Steel, head of product in SandboxAQs Quantum Security division, Getting started right now is critical. Adversaries are not waiting for quantum computers to launch their attackstheyre already engaged in Store Now Decrypt Later attacks, acquiring sensitive encrypted data now for future decryption, Steel further explained that transitioning to quantum-safe encryption and implementing crypto-agility could take years. Many organizations with complex IT infrastructures are concerned whether this can be completed before large-scale quantum computers are available to carry out decrypt right now attacks. Our Security Suite is designed to accelerate every stage of this process, he added.

The SandboxAQ Security Suites cryptographic agility enables customers to seamlessly swap cryptographic protocols amid ever-changing regulatory requirements and cyber threats. This concept of crypto-agility will become mandatory to protect organizations against classical and quantum-based attacks, while maintaining regulatory compliance.

Additional information about the SandboxAQ Security Suite is available in a press release posted here.
