About

Patero is a United States-based quantum security company founded in 2020. It developed a network security solution that reduces the exposed attack surface while encrypting data-in-motion with hybrid post-quantum encryption. Patero's hybrid post-quantum cryptography enhances classical cryptosystems with quantum-resistant encryption algorithms selected by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Combining current encryption standards with post-quantum cryptography gives defense-in-depth protection against both classical and quantum computing threats. The company is recognized as a key player in the global post-quantum cryptography market alongside NXP Semiconductor, Thales, AWS, IDEMIA, and Palo Alto Networks. Patero provides enterprise network security that implements NIST-approved algorithms for securing data transmission across corporate networks, cloud environments, and hybrid infrastructure. It serves enterprises, government agencies, financial institutions, healthcare organizations, and telecommunications operators that need quantum-safe data-in-motion encryption against harvest now, decrypt later attacks.
