Quantum Algorithm Testing Across 7 Commercial Platforms
“Quantum computing represents the biggest threat to data security in the medium term, since it can make attacks against cryptography much more efficient.”
“Quantum risk is not a distant theoretical problem. Adversaries are already collecting encrypted data today with the expectation that it can be decrypted later. If data needs to remain confidential for decades, then the exposure exists now.”
Comprehensive Cryptographic Risk Intelligence
Qstrike26™ is an enterprise cryptographic vulnerability assessment platform that addresses the dual threats facing modern encryption:
- Ephemeral key vulnerabilities exploitable with current technology
- Quantum computing capabilities emerging over the next decade
Our proven methodology has discovered 2,300+ critical vulnerabilities across Fortune 1000 enterprises, preventing potential breaches before they occur.
Ephemeral Key Detection
Identifies cryptographic material in logs and memory dumps.
Multi-Cloud Quantum Testing
Orchestrated testing across AWS Braket, IBM Quantum, Azure Quantum, and D-Wave hardware.
AI-Driven Analysis
Purpose-built AI engine that prioritizes vulnerabilities and generates remediation guidance.
Compliance Alignment
Maps findings to NIST PQC, EO 14028, and CISA post-quantum guidelines.
Executive Reporting
Risk-scored findings with executive summaries and prioritized migration roadmaps.
How It Works
From scoping call to board-ready results in three steps.
Scope
Define your cryptographic assessment boundaries. Fixed scope, fixed price, no surprises.
Assess

Senior Security Experts
Former NSA/IC intelligence professionals, former CIA and CISA leadership, Fortune 1000 CISOs, and published quantum researchers.
“I spent my career in environments where encryption failure means mission failure. Qryptonic applies that standard to enterprise systems.”
“The question isn't whether quantum disruption will reshape cybersecurity. It's whether leadership teams have a plan in place before that moment arrives. Qryptonic is helping close that gap.”
“Forty years in semiconductors taught me that vulnerabilities hide where people stop looking. Most cryptographic assessments never get below the application layer. Ours do.”
“Every other tool tells you what's broken today. Q-Scout tells you what breaks next, how severe the exposure could be, and where to spend your budget first. That's the difference between a vulnerability list and a migration roadmap.”
“Quantum risk is not a distant theoretical problem. Adversaries are already collecting encrypted data today with the expectation that it can be decrypted later. If data needs to remain confidential for decades, then the exposure exists now.”
“What stands out across these environments isn't a lack of encryption, but a lack of prioritization. Organizations are protecting data with vastly different lifespans using the same cryptographic foundations. Quantifying that difference is what turns quantum readiness from a theoretical concern into an actionable program.”
