Keyfactor\u2019s acquisition of InfoSec Global and CipherInsights<\/a> 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\u2014with Google, Cisco, and startups like Classiq pushing the boundaries of what\u2019s possible\u2014Keyfactor 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 \u201cQ-Day\u201d\u2014the 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.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Quantum computing has evolved from lab experiments to real-world breakthroughs. Google\u2019s latest quantum chip, “Willow,” reportedly solved a complex problem in minutes\u2014a task that would take today\u2019s 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\u2019s cryptography will no longer be sufficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s exactly the gap Keyfactor is aiming to close with its double acquisition.<\/p>\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AgileSec Agility, meanwhile, enables organizations to update cryptographic libraries without rewriting application code\u2014a crucial capability given that most enterprises have no idea where all their crypto lives, much less the resources to rewrite it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2014ensuring visibility into encryption health in real time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 \u201cQ-Day\u201d\u2014the 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
