Safeguard your data and modernize
your cryptography for the quantum era

A comprehensive
solution for yourquantum-safe journey
IBM Quantum Safe technology enables
you to discover, observe, and transform
cryptography while building crypto-agility

Quantum computing promises immense business value forclients, but it will also be able to break some of the mostwidely used security protocols in the world. Businesses face animperative to understand the risk quantum technology poses totheir systems and data and develop a quantum-safe strategy.

The time to prepare is now

IBM Quantum Safe technology
IBM Quantum Safe is a comprehensive set of tools, capabilities,
and approaches combined with deep expertise to help you planand execute your organization’s migration to quantum-safe
cryptography. Build quantum cyber resilience in three phases,
each powered by IBM Quantum Safe technology:

Data not secured today is already lostAlthough a cryptographically relevant quantum computer
does not yet exist, “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks could
enable cybercriminals to steal data today and store it until moreadvanced quantum computers emerge.

DiscoverIdentify cryptography usage,analyze dependencies, andgenerate Cryptography Billsof Materials (CBOMs).

Rising cost of data breaches
The average cost of a data breach reached an all-time high in
2023 at USD 4.45 million.1 This figure is likely to increase further
as quantum-based attacks become more common.

Observe

Analyze cryptographic
posture of compliance andprioritize vulnerabilities
based on risks.

Transform

Remediate vulnerabilities
using quantum-safe bestpractices. Implement
quantum-safe cryptography
to achieve crypto-agility.

Shortage of skills
Security leaders are becoming aware of the approaching threatof quantum-based cyberattacks but may lack teams withcompetency in quantum-safe cryptographic implementations
Impending regulation
Governments and regulatory bodies around the world are
beginning to establish guidelines and timelines for transitioning
to quantum-safe cryptography.

IBM Quantum Safe Explorer

Explorer scans and analyzes source code and object code
to identify cryptographically relevant artifacts and surface
vulnerabilities. Explorer also generates a cryptographic inventory
in a variety of formats, including a Cryptography Bill of Materials(CBOM), a common extension to the software supply chain thatoffers a systematic way of mapping dependencies between
protocols and cryptography libraries.

IBM Quantum Safe Advisor

IBM Quantum Safe Remediator

Remediator helps you to create an architecture for seamlessly
upgrading your cryptography infrastructure to quantum safe
through a robust set of remediation patterns based on enterpriseuse cases.

Advisor performs an enterprise-wide cryptography analysis
to determine the types and locations of your cryptographic
instances; the cipher suites, certificates, and CBOMs associatedwith assets; the relationships between assets and data flows;
and potential vulnerabilities. Advisor also enables you toevaluate your cryptographic posture of compliance, enabling you
to generate a prioritized list of at-risk cryptographic assets.
