Quantum Security Services

Discover cryptographic risk, prioritize what matters most, and build a practical path to business-aligned quantum security.

What we do
Put quantum security into action, enterprise-wide

Quantum security is an enterprise transformation challenge. Kyndryl makes it executable. Kyndryl runs and modernizes mission-critical systems where cryptographic risk is deeply embedded—across hybrid infrastructure, networks, applications and data platforms. This gives us a practical view of the real challenge.We don’t just identify vulnerable algorithms but safely unwind complex dependencies without disrupting business operations.

Quantum computers may be years away but addressing your data exposure and initiating your migration effort start now. With Kyndryl, quantum readiness can be integrated into the broader resilience architecture – delivering a quantum-safe strategy grounded in how your enterprise runs.

Why Kyndryl?

Anticipate quantum risk and prioritize action faster

Assess enterprise cryptographic exposure, prioritize key risks, and translate insights  into a practical roadmap for action.

Strengthen the systems on which trust depends on

Bring infrastructure and engineering expertise to help modernize security and resilience foundations across identity, data, networks, cloud and applications with secure-by-design architectures.

Execute with run-state accountability

Connect the dots from advisory to delivery and the run state, with a vantage point built from operating mission-critical infrastructure.

how kyndryl helps

Quantum-safe assessment

Establish your current quantum risk posture and define a pragmatic path forward. Kyndryl assesses cryptographic exposure across your IT estate, prepares a cryptographic inventory or Cryptographic Bill of Materials, classifies systems and data using business criticality and CIA principles, and delivers prioritized recommendations and a transition roadmap. Following assessment, we can support remediation planning and execution across priority systems and dependencies.

Quantum-safe roadmap and governance

Define the operating model, policies, standards, ownership and funding approach needed to manage a multi-year transition. Kyndryl helps clients establish a quantum-readiness roadmap, align stakeholders, engage suppliers and embed crypto agility into architecture, procurement, compliance and security governance.

Quantum safe for networks

Strengthen network security for the quantum era by combining Zero Trust principles, crypto agility and quantum-resistant cryptography. Kyndryl helps assess encryption in transit, network protocols, edge environments, IoT constraints, legacy equipment and third-party connectivity.

Cryptographic asset management

Establish visibility and control over cryptographic assets across your environment to support a structured transition to quantum-safe security. By creating a comprehensive inventory of algorithms, keys and dependencies, organizations can prioritize risks, enable crypto agility and execute migration with confidence.

Why act now?

Data harvested today can be decrypted tomorrow

Bad actors are capturing business sensitive and regulated data now to expose it later.

Risk timelines outlast technology timelines

Data must remain protected for years or decades beyond the emergence of quantum computers.

Transformation complexity requires early action

Deeply interconnected systems and vendor networks make this a multi-year transition.

Frequently asked questions

You have questions. We have answers. 
 

Quantum-safe security is the practice of protecting digital systems, data and communications from future quantum-enabled attacks. It includes discovering vulnerable cryptography, adopting post-quantum cryptography, building crypto agility and modernizing security controls so organizations can adapt as standards and threats evolve.

Sensitive encrypted data can be stolen today and decrypted later. CISA, NSA and NIST describe this as “harvest now, decrypt later” risk and recommend that organizations begin planning now through roadmaps, inventories, risk assessments and vendor engagement.

A crypto inventory, often called a Cryptographic Bill of Materials, identifies where cryptography is used across the enterprise — including algorithms, certificates, protocols, keys, applications, infrastructure and third-party dependencies. It helps organizations understand exposure and prioritize migration.

No. Compliance is one driver, but the broader issue is business resilience. Quantum risk can affect customer trust, sensitive data, critical operations, connected devices, supply chains, financial transactions and intellectual property.
