Qtonic Quantum maps out a 92-page guide to post-quantum security

Qtonic Quantum has released “State of Quantum Cybersecurity | Q4 2026,” a detailed 92-page report designed to help organizations prepare for the coming shift to post-quantum cryptography. The report connects verifiable evidence to cryptographic discovery, assessment, and migration planning, offering a resource for identifying priorities and evaluating vendor readiness. A supplier-neutral component includes six procurement clauses enterprise buyers can immediately integrate into vendor contracts. “A successful hybrid handshake answers one question about a system,” explains Eliot Jung, Vice Chairman, Cybersecurity at Qtonic Quantum, “It does not settle how that system authenticates the other party or what remains to be migrated.” QStrike and QSolve Validate Risks & Direct Post-Quantum Migration Planning Detailed operation timings across six post-quantum parameter sets and 6,000 valid cycles underpin the validation work detailed in Qtonic Quantum’s newly released report, demonstrating a level of granular research extending beyond theoretical discussion. These 18,000 operation timings, recorded as part of the “State of Quantum Cybersecurity | Q4 2026” report, provide a foundation for evaluating the performance characteristics of different post-quantum cryptographic algorithms under realistic conditions. This data allows security teams to move beyond abstract risk assessments and begin to quantify the practical implications of adopting new cryptographic standards. The report’s focus on verifiable evidence aims to address the growing need for concrete data in a field often dominated by projections and estimations. Beyond the technical data, Qtonic Quantum’s approach emphasizes the separation of key exchange and authentication verification, a distinction critical for enterprise buyers. Forty hybrid handshakes, utilizing post-quantum key exchange while maintaining classical server authentication, were successfully completed, but the company stresses this only addresses one aspect of system security. Qtonic Quantum’s QStrike offering is designed to provide this validation of material risks through authorized, non-destructive testing. The company’s integrated approach, encompassing QScout for discovery, QStrike for validation, and QSolve for directed migration, is further supported by a supplier-neutral CBOM acceptance sheet. Chris Will, Vice President, emphasizes the practical application of this toolkit, stating, “Security teams are being asked to turn quantum risk into a budget, a supplier requirement and a plan. The acceptance sheet gives procurement a starting point, and the research gives technical reviewers something concrete to check. That is the conversation we want to have with clients.” QSolve then translates the assessment and testing evidence into prioritized migration plans, assigning accountability and verifying completion, offering a complete lifecycle solution for post-quantum transition. Qtonic Quantum, founded in 2024 and based in Miami, serves enterprises and defense sectors, including a partnership with the NATO-led Allied Defense Council. Recent additions to the team, including Gina Fratarcangeli, formerly of Google, and Col. (Ret.) Reginald Harris, former Chief of Staff of U.S.

Army Cyber Command, signal a commitment to both technological innovation and understanding the complex regulatory landscape surrounding post-quantum cryptography. The company’s QHunt offering provides secure system assessments for restricted environments, while QShield offers packet protection within the SAFE/29 framework, further expanding its capabilities beyond the core research and advisory services detailed in the report. Security teams are being asked to turn quantum risk into a budget, a supplier requirement and a plan. We built this report to help them do that. The acceptance sheet gives procurement a starting point, and the research gives technical reviewers something concrete to check.
