Kyndryl Launches Quantum Safe Assessment Service to Prepare Enterprises for the Quantum Era
Kyndryl, a global leader in mission-critical enterprise technology services, has introduced its Quantum Safe Assessment Service, designed to help organizations prepare for the opportunities and cybersecurity challenges emerging from quantum computing. As quantum technologies advance, enterprises face growing risks to traditional encryption methods, making proactive quantum security planning essential.
The new service enables organizations to identify and assess cryptographic risks across their entire IT environment, offering a tailored transformation roadmap for transitioning to quantum-safe security using post-quantum cryptography (PQC). This approach supports long-term data protection while helping businesses meet evolving regulatory and compliance requirements.
“Quantum computing security readiness is no longer a future concern—it is a strategic imperative,” said Kris Lovejoy, Global Security & Resiliency Leader at Kyndryl. “As advanced quantum systems threaten traditional encryption, organizations must act now to protect sensitive data, ensure compliance, and maintain business continuity. Our Quantum Safe Assessment service helps enterprises uncover vulnerabilities and build scalable, future-ready security strategies for the post-quantum era.”
