Kyndryl Launches Quantum Safe Assessment Service to Help Enterprises Prepare for the Quantum Era
Kyndryl, a global leader in mission-critical enterprise technology services, has unveiled its Quantum Safe Assessment service, designed to help enterprises prepare for the opportunities and cybersecurity risks emerging with the rise of quantum computing. The new offering enables organizations to evaluate their readiness for the quantum era while safeguarding sensitive data against future quantum-enabled threats.
The Quantum Safe Assessment service identifies and analyzes cryptographic risk exposure across an organization’s entire IT environment. By doing so, it creates a customized transformation roadmap that helps enterprises transition to quantum-safe security using post-quantum cryptography (PQC). This approach supports long-term data protection, regulatory compliance, and business continuity.
“Quantum computing security readiness is no longer a future concern—it is a strategic imperative,” said Kris Lovejoy, Global Security & Resiliency Leader at Kyndryl. “Traditional encryption methods are increasingly vulnerable to advanced quantum systems, posing serious risks to data security, compliance, and operational stability. Through our Quantum Safe Assessment service, we help organizations identify vulnerabilities and build scalable strategies for operating securely in the post-quantum era.”
How Kyndryl’s Quantum Safe Assessment Service Works
Kyndryl’s Quantum Safe Assessment service delivers a comprehensive evaluation of an organization’s digital ecosystem, enabling businesses to advise, design, prepare, and implement quantum-safe solutions. The assessment pinpoints the most vulnerable systems and third-party interfaces, including:
- Payment gateways
- Customer and enterprise databases
- Cloud infrastructure
- Mainframe systems
These assets are prioritized based on data sensitivity and the anticipated timeline of quantum-related threats, helping organizations focus on the most critical areas first.
Building a Quantum-Safe Security Strategy
Kyndryl collaborates closely with enterprises to define processes and adopt technologies that enable quantum-resilient security frameworks. Following the initial assessment, Kyndryl Consult experts work with organizations to develop, implement, and manage a clear quantum-safe security strategy, supported by a structured, step-by-step roadmap.
This strategic approach enhances digital resilience and operational agility, making quantum readiness accessible to organizations at any stage of their digital and quantum transformation journey.
