Post-Quantum Encryption and Network Security Solutions for Government
Patero’s comprehensive post-quantum cryptography solutions protect Government agencies from evolving cyber threats without sacrificing performance, resiliency or speed. By combining quantum-safe encryption with continuous monitoring, Patero enables agencies to cloak networks, harden assets and shield communications at scale.
Patero partners with Carahsoft to defend sensitive operational data and critical infrastructure from internet-facing exposure with quantum-resistant network security solutions that meet NIST standards. By enabling agencies to accelerate their migration to post-quantum cryptography, this partnership reduces integration risk while ensuring only trusted, authenticated devices can communicate across mission-critical environments.
Streamline Quantum Risk Assessments with PanoQoR
PanoQoR utilizes AI-driven cryptographic discovery and inventory automation to identify embedded quantum-vulnerable algorithms and weak endpoints across network assets. By delivering actionable reporting, analytics and compliance insights, agencies can prioritize remediation, reduce manual audit overhead and gain immediate visibility into current vulnerabilities and future cryptographic risk exposure.
Secure Data-in-Motion with CryptoQoR
CryptoQoR is a software-based hybrid post-quantum cryptographic (H-PQC) module that establishes ultra-secure, Zero Trust communication channels between authenticated endpoints across microcontrollers, industrial gateways, bare metal servers and cloud environments. By combining best-in-class encryption with NIST’s next-generation PQC algorithms, CryptoQoR protects every packet in motion against today’s advanced cyber threats and future quantum-enabled attacks.
Safeguard Sensitive Data and Communications with Quantum-Safe Encryption
Through a layered defensive architecture that integrates quantum-safe encryption, Patero enables agencies to align crypto-migration strategies with NIST recommendations while securing data in transit across untrusted networks. Patero’s dual-use technologies enable Zero Trust communication channels that reduce cryptographic exposure and strengthen operational resilience against current cyber threats and future quantum-enabled attacks.
FAQs
Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) refers to cryptographic algorithms designed to resist attacks from future quantum computers. Governments, critical infrastructure operators and enterprises are beginning multi-year migration efforts because many currently deployed cryptographic algorithms are expected to become vulnerable to quantum attacks. Organizations that start planning today will be better positioned to meet emerging regulatory requirements and avoid costly remediation efforts later.
Patero provides a structured approach to quantum readiness beginning with cryptographic discovery and inventory, followed by risk assessment, governance, migration planning and quantum-safe communications. Our solutions help organizations understand their current cryptographic posture, which can often be completed in weeks, while remediation and migration efforts may occur over several years, depending on the size and complexity of the organization.
Any organization that stores, processes or transmits sensitive information should be evaluating its quantum readiness. This includes Federal, State and Local Government agencies, defense contractors, utilities, healthcare organizations, financial institutions, telecommunications providers, manufacturers and critical infrastructure operators. Organizations with long-lived data, intellectual property or regulatory obligations are particularly at risk from "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" attacks.
Patero CryptoQoR helps organizations pursuing CMMC 2.0 by providing a secure, crypto-agile communications layer for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in transit across remote access, partner, cloud and site-to-site environments. CMMC 2.0 Level 2 is grounded in NIST SP 800-171, which requires organizations to protect CUI during transmission and to employ FIPS-validated cryptography when cryptography is used to protect CUI confidentiality. CryptoQoR can help defense contractors reduce exposure across vulnerable communications paths while giving them a practical mechanism to strengthen encryption, segment sensitive traffic and prepare for future post-quantum requirements. While CMMC 2.0 does not currently mandate PQC by name, “AES-256 or better” should be treated as a baseline security posture, not the end state; hybrid PQC provides a forward-looking approach for organizations that want to exceed today’s minimum requirements and protect long-lived CUI against future quantum-enabled threats. Patero should position CryptoQoR as a CMMC-supporting control enhancement and quantum-readiness accelerator, while ensuring any formal compliance claim is tied to validated cryptographic modules, documented architecture and the customer’s System Security Plan.
