Keyfactor’s acquisition of InfoSec Global and CipherInsights marks a major shift in the race toward quantum-safe security, placing the company at the forefront of cryptographic risk management and future-proof infrastructure. As the quantum computing landscape advances rapidly—with Google, Cisco, and startups like Classiq pushing the boundaries of what’s possible—Keyfactor is taking a proactive stance by equipping enterprises with tools to uncover, assess, and modernize their cryptographic systems before quantum computing renders traditional encryption obsolete.

With quantum computing inching closer to practical implementation, many CISOs are looking for partners who can go beyond traditional PKI and help them prepare for the “Q-Day”—the point at which quantum computers will be able to break RSA, ECC, and other public-key encryption systems currently in use across most of the internet.

Quantum computing has evolved from lab experiments to real-world breakthroughs. Google’s latest quantum chip, “Willow,” reportedly solved a complex problem in minutes—a task that would take today’s supercomputers astronomical time. Simultaneously, Cisco has unveiled a quantum networking chip aimed at connecting small quantum computers into more powerful networks, while Classiq, an Israeli startup, just raised $110 million to further its efforts in enterprise-grade quantum algorithms. These innovations all point toward a future where today’s cryptography will no longer be sufficient.

That’s exactly the gap Keyfactor is aiming to close with its double acquisition.

According to Keyfactor CEO Jordan Rackie, the acquisitions deliver not just integration of best-in-class capabilities, but a redefinition of what it means to manage digital trust. He emphasized that if a company manages certificates, it should also control the cryptography behind them. By acquiring InfoSec Global and CipherInsights, Keyfactor now provides a unified platform that covers cryptographic asset discovery, real-time monitoring, risk remediation, and quantum-safe migration.

At the heart of the new offering is AgileSec Analytics, a deep discovery engine capable of identifying cryptographic assets scattered across devices, source code, applications, and cloud workloads. It not only maps where crypto is used, but flags algorithms and configurations that will be vulnerable to quantum attacks.

AgileSec Agility, meanwhile, enables organizations to update cryptographic libraries without rewriting application code—a crucial capability given that most enterprises have no idea where all their crypto lives, much less the resources to rewrite it.

Rounding out the triad is CipherInsights, a lightweight network sensor originally developed by Quantum Xchange. It passively scans traffic to identify weak protocols, self-signed certificates, and other red flags—ensuring visibility into encryption health in real time.

Together, these tools offer something enterprises sorely need: full-spectrum visibility into their cryptographic environment. They allow teams to answer questions like: Which systems use outdated encryption? Where are weak keys or expired certs hiding? Are we prepared to comply with looming post-quantum mandates?

With quantum computing inching closer to practical implementation, many CISOs are looking for partners who can go beyond traditional PKI and help them prepare for the “Q-Day”—the point at which quantum computers will be able to break RSA, ECC, and other public-key encryption systems currently in use across most of the internet.

Keyfactor’s new capabilities offer an end-to-end system for quantum readiness, including:

• Discovery of cryptographic assets and risk prioritization
• Real-time monitoring of crypto hygiene and protocol health
• Automated migration to quantum-safe certificates and standards
• Compliance alignment with frameworks like PCI-DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, and Zero Trust

The move also comes at a time of renewed M&A momentum in cybersecurity, particularly within the cryptography and certificate lifecycle management segments. As organizations seek out integrated, automated solutions, consolidation has become not only strategic but necessary.

In parallel, Keyfactor’s growth metrics reflect a market increasingly in need of such capabilities. The company has surpassed $100 million in annual recurring revenue in less than five years, received substantial backing from Sixth Street Growth at a $1.3 billion valuation, and posted 32% YoY ARR growth. It’s also earned recognition on Deloitte’s Fast 500 and the Inc. 5000 for five consecutive years.

Nagy Moustafa, CEO of InfoSec Global, framed the merger as a strategic alignment of capabilities. He emphasized the dual pressures enterprises face—quantum transition and ever-evolving compliance mandates—and noted that only an end-to-end platform like the one Keyfactor is building can offer the level of control and visibility required to manage that complexity.

While many companies talk about quantum readiness in future terms, Keyfactor is making it tangible today. The addition of CipherInsights and AgileSec capabilities puts it in rare territory—offering not just the ability to issue and manage certificates, but to secure the cryptographic underpinnings that make digital trust possible in the first place.

As the world prepares for quantum disruption, this move helps position Keyfactor as a practical leader in helping enterprises secure not just today’s infrastructure—but tomorrow’s.
