Both industry and government sectors must upgrade their IT systems to achieve quantum resilience

Today’s encryption relies on pseudo-random number generation (PRNG), the foundation of all cryptographic systems. While PRNG and pseudo-random methods have been trusted for decades, modern supercomputers and cloud technologies now exploit its vulnerabilities, making encryption as ineffective as a rusty old lock, leaving sensitive data exposed.

Financial institutions are under increasing threat from sophisticated hacking strategies, such as Harvest Now Decrypt Later (HNDL) which exploit vulnerabilities in current encryption methods.

• Gartner forecast that traditional encryption (AES, VPN, etc.) will be vulnerable and obsolete by 2029.

• Large Financial Institutions are already moving to on-prem Hardware Root of Trust.

• Non-Compliance and breaches of cardholder data results in heavy fines.

• Strengthened security deters hackers from targeting your data

Organizations often make critical mistakes when addressing entropy vulnerabilities, which leave their systems exposed to advanced threats. These include:

Misjudging the urgency of quantum entropy as a service risk can leave organizations exposed to critical vulnerabilities.  These include:

Recently published NIST standards “start the clock” on Federal plans for compliance and remediation and thus creates immediate need for customers to enhance encryption.

• Hardware Based True Random Entropy Complies with:
  • DFARS 252.204-7012, PCI-DSS, FIPS 140-3, NIST SP 800-171/172, FedRAMP Compliant
• True Random “Seed”: quantum random numbers with full entropy at 1Gbit/sec
• Entropy-as-a-Service: push-button deployment meets NIST 800-5
• EntropiQ is CMMC Compliance Standard: basis for SOC II, HIPPAA, ISO27001

NIST finalized post-quantum crytopgraphy standards in 2024, but it could take between five and 15 years after that for the industry to fully adopt these standards.

Implementing effective quantum entropy as a service requires a solution that ensures security, flexibility, and compliance. EntropiQ provides clear guidance to avoid vulnerabilities and maximize protection.

• Choose a solution that supports on-prem, hybrid, and cloud environments.
• Insist on a hardware root of trust for safety and tamper resistance with frictionless deployment.
• Utilize securely hosted HSMs, separate from cloud services, to prevent warrantless searches.
• Utilize true random entropy for Standards compliance to strengthen post quantum posture.
• Utilize fault tolerant cluster technology for redundancy, not a single entropy source.

In the current environment, encryption relies on weak pseudo-random seeds, leaving data vulnerable to harvesting and decryption by sophisticated attackers. EntropiQ’s quantum-safe environment uses quantum random numbers delivered over a cloaked network, wrapping standard encryption with post-quantum security to protect data from threats.

Both industry and government sectors must upgrade their IT systems to achieve quantum resilience, driven by regulatory compliance and strategic mandates.

Data Classification and Management

• Organizations struggle to scan and classify structured and unstructured data
• Limited resources available for risk interpretation and mitigation
• Lack of organizational cybersecurity policies, practice, and enforcement
• Substandard algorithms pose challenges for repair and optimization

Technology Limitations

• Emerging solutions address only narrow subsets of problems
• Poor integration of new technologies with existing systems
• Short track record of new tools increase adoption risks
• Accreditation hurdles for novel technologies

Inadequate Risk Remediation

• Current approaches often only identify risks without offering solutions
• Organizations struggle to triage and remediate risk and policy violations
• Lack of clear, actionable paths to compliance
• Disconnect between risk assessment and practical remediation strategies
