Stronger Data Security Today
Quantum-Safe Protection Tomorrow

Quantum Xchange protects the world’s data in motion from advances in computing and evolving cybersecurity risks. Our award-winning, cryptographic management platform, Phio TX® is built for resiliency, helping enterprises and government agencies bring their existing IT infrastructure and SD-WAN environments into the post-quantum era.

OUR PURPOSE

Securing the Future of Data

OUR VISION

Partners in Preserving Our Digital World

OUR VALUES

Innovation Grounded in Security and Trust

Confidently Take the Next Step

For over 40 years, encryption has reliably protected sensitive data, requiring little maintenance once deployed. But that era of “set it and forget it”™ is coming to an end.

Emerging quantum-powered threats are poised to break today’s encryption, turning once-secure data into a vulnerability. As the attack surface grows from quantum attacks, encryption must be actively managed, much like enterprise software is today.

Quantum Xchange believes organizations must take proactive steps now to protect their encrypted data and ensure its long-term security against evolving quantum threats. We empower organizations by hardening their existing infrastructure with a practical, agile solution that offers flexibility, security, and a seamless transition to post-quantum cryptography—on their timeline, without the uncertainty.

We call this future-proof approach CryptoDiversification™ and it’s a critical part of our product offering.

CRYPTOGRAPHY’S SINGLE POINTS OF FAILURE

Human Error

Software Vulnerabilities

Weak Entropy

Bad Actors/Insider Threats

Leaked Certificates

Failed PQCs

Encryption is Everywhere and Vulnerable

Encryption suffers from risks and vulnerabilities beyond advances in quantum computing. An overwhelming percentage of data breaches result from human factors/errors. Weak entropy sources; software vulnerabilities; external actors and insider threats; legacy systems with old, outdated cryptographic standards, all introduce cryptography risks and single points of failure, ready for exploitation.

As we prepare for the quantum era of computing, replacing legacy encryption with NIST-backed post-quantum cryptography (PQC) will affect the data, and daily operations. Encryption is deeply embedded at the endpoint, and endpoint updates will be complex, disruptive, and resource intensive.

A better strategy is to secure sensitive data in motion on the network, hardening existing infrastructure with the goal of minimal disruption and no network performance degradation or downtime. Taking action today means eliminating the operational risks from a rushed PQC deployment in the future.

Additional benefits include:

  • Introducing redundancies; cryptography algorithms, their implementation and key delivery to account for encryption failures
  • Eliminating single points of failure common to today’s encryption practices
  • Ensuring enterprise crypto management evolves with the threat landscape and business requirements
If unprepared or rushed, the Great Crypto Migration will lead to disruptions, downtime, and lost productivity. Organizations that approach crypto migration in an ad hoc, or rushed manner vs. proactively preparing for a future where cryptographic best practices are dynamic and flexible. The future of encryption requires organizations to have an agile, crypto-diverse platform to implement quantum safe data security.

A Diverse and Agile Cryptographic Management System for the Enterprise

Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), or the architecture for distributing trust in public keys, has served us well for nearly half a century. It’s the foundation for the global Internet, smart phones, app stores, and the cloud. But its success and proliferation has become a weakness, introducing more areas for exploitation and failure. The attack surface is expanding, and encryption itself will soon become a vulnerability to manage.

Organizations must take proactive steps now to protect their encrypted data and ensure long-term security against evolving threats. The window for hardening infrastructure against encryption failure is narrowing with time. Harvest Now Decrypt Later (HNDL) attacks are happening now. Adversaries are stealing encrypted data, storing it, and waiting a few years when powerful quantum computers will allow easy, fast decryption, exposing sensitive data that was once considered secure.

Quantum Xchange has your cryptographic solution for peace of mind today, tomorrow, and in the post-quantum future, Phio Trusted Xchange® (Phio TX).

TODAY: Prioritize hardening network infrastructure where critical data travels.
TOMORROW: Deploy post quantum solutions seamlessly.
FOREVER: Operate with confidence, knowing your data is secure.

U.S. patented and FIPS 140-3 and FIPS 203 validated, Phio TX key management system deploys as a seamless overlay into existing SKIP and ETSI-compliant network infrastructure with minimal disruption to ongoing operations. It strengthens current encryption standards, protects sensitive data, and enables to easy implementation the latest Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) for quantum-safe networking. It’s available in multiple form factors, including a container version for Cisco® native integration plus secure hardware and software options.

The secure-by-design architecture includes dual path data security that sends a second symmetric key with NIST quantum entropy, out-of-band down a separate quantum- tunnel for protection against quantum and HNDL attacks. The risks from theft or compromise of pre-shared/static keys stored on endpoints are eliminated due to ephemeral keys, dynamically generated in memory and deleted after use.

This crypto-diverse and crypto-agile management system supports encryption keys generated by any source, protected by any method (PQC, QKD, or a combination), and allows admins to dynamically update cryptographic algorithms on the fly.
