NIST IR 8547 Quantum-vulnerable public-key algorithms are deprecated from 2030 and disallowed by 2035. Assess your exposure

Industries

Energy & Critical Infrastructure

Industrial control systems, substations and field devices stay in service for decades, so the controllers being installed now must already withstand quantum attacks.

The challenge

Quantum risk in energy and critical infrastructure

Hardened boot and secure communications for long-lifecycle industrial and embedded systems.

Regulatory & standards drivers

  • IEC 62443
  • NIST CSF 2.0
  • NIST IR 8547
  • NIST SP 800-208

Decades-long lifecycles

Controllers and RTUs often run for 15 to 25 years and are rarely replaced.

Firmware integrity

Forged firmware signatures could allow persistent, safety-critical compromise.

Constrained devices

Limited compute and bandwidth require carefully engineered PQC implementations.
