Post-quantum network security

Future-proof quantum security for critical infrastructure. Now.

World Economic Forum Top 10 Global Quantum Innovator, selected from 100 quantum companies worldwide

Everything we do online depends on encryption, and the encryption in use today will not survive quantum computers. Traffic that is recorded now can be read later, once those machines exist.

Quantasphere exists so that the networks a country depends on stay private through that change. We build an integrated hardware and software system: appliances that sit beside the equipment operators already run and add quantum-safe protection underneath it, and quantum random number generators that supply the randomness every key depends on. Hospitals, power grids, banks, telecommunications operators, utilities and government networks can move to post-quantum security without rebuilding what they have.

The threat

Everything encrypted today is already being stolen for tomorrow.

An adversary that records your encrypted traffic today does not need to break it today. Once a cryptographically relevant quantum computer exists, everything recorded in the meantime becomes readable. Security agencies call this Harvest Now, Decrypt Later. For data that stays sensitive for decades, such as patient records, grid topologies and defense communications, the exposure has already started.

The mandates

Governments have set the deadlines.

The US, EU, KSA and France have set deadlines that convert quantum risk into mandatory procurement.

Critical infrastructure

Running on real networks, not in a lab.

Tessera runs today on customer networks in healthcare, defense and energy, and is built for every critical-infrastructure sector. Each deployment follows the same pattern: sites connect in days, existing systems keep operating throughout, and the network switches over in one short, planned cutover.

Healthcare

Multi-site hospital networks, where patient records stay sensitive far longer than current encryption will hold. Multiple sites connected, full integration within a week.

Defense

The most demanding security context there is: strict compliance requirements, and a buyer that verifies vendor-blindness rather than taking it on trust.

Energy

Multi-site protection for grid infrastructure, where links between substations and control centres must run uninterrupted while gaining a post-quantum layer.

Telecommunications

Carrier backbones and inter-site links carry every other sector's traffic. Protecting them once protects everything routed across them.

Utilities

Water, gas and district networks run the same control-system links as the grid, often with longer equipment lifetimes and fewer maintenance windows.

Financial services

Settlement, clearing and inter-bank traffic crosses organisational boundaries, which is exactly the case a secretless broker was designed for.
