The 92-page report connects verifiable evidence to cryptographic discovery, crypto-agility assessment, security testing and migration planning.

MIAMI, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Qtonic Quantum Corp today released State of Quantum Cybersecurity | Q4 2026, a 92-page report helping organizations identify what to protect first, evaluate supplier evidence and plan post-quantum migration.

Qtonic Quantum brings cryptographic discovery, authorized security testing and vendor-neutral migration advisory into one connected approach: Find. Prove. Fix. Its QScout, QStrike and QSolve offerings help clients move from an inventory of exposure to validated priorities, accountable owners and a migration plan.

Two embedded research archives let readers inspect original data, methods and scripts for recomputing results. A separate, supplier-neutral CBOM acceptance sheet supplies six procurement clauses buyers can adapt for their own vendors.

A practical finding for enterprise buyers

All 80 local TLS handshakes across four configurations completed certificate, hostname and application-data checks. The 40 hybrid handshakes used post-quantum key exchange while server authentication remained classical. The finding illustrates why buyers need separate evidence of key exchange and authentication. A second study records 18,000 operation timings across six post-quantum parameter sets and 6,000 valid cycles.

Eliot Jung, Vice Chairman, Cybersecurity

"A successful hybrid handshake answers one question about a system. It does not settle how that system authenticates the other party or what remains to be migrated. Buyers need those distinctions before they approve a deployment. This report gives technical teams the evidence to examine them."

FROM RESEARCH TO CLIENT DELIVERY

QScout: Discover exposure and assess crypto-agility. Surface establishes external visibility, Silver adds authorized assessment depth, and Gold builds a deeper cryptographic baseline and migration decision record. Its crypto-agility assessment identifies change constraints, cryptographic dependencies and the evidence needed to plan their replacement. QScout Gold includes a CycloneDX 1.7 cryptographic bill of materials (CBOM), prioritized remediation pathways and board reporting. QScout Gold Pulse keeps the agreed baseline current through continuous monitoring.

The report describes QScout Gold's signed CBOM package, including a detached ML-DSA-65 signature and verification procedure. The inventory supports procurement, architecture, audit and migration planning. Scope, coverage gaps and deliverables are defined in the engagement.

QStrike: Validate material risks. Authorized, non-destructive testing evaluates selected risks within an agreed scope and preserves the results, methods and limits for client review.

QSolve: Direct the transition. CISO-led, vendor-neutral advisory translates assessment and testing evidence into migration priorities, dependency decisions, accountable owners and verified closure.

The company also describes QHunt for authorized warfighter missions in restricted, air-gapped and on-premise environments, and QShield as the packet-protection implementation within SAFE/29. Qtonic Quantum reports SAFE/29 with QShield v1.0 as built and operating. That company statement is separate from independent validation or deployment authorization.

Chris Will, Vice President

"Security teams are being asked to turn quantum risk into a budget, a supplier requirement and a plan. We built this report to help them do that. The acceptance sheet gives procurement a starting point, and the research gives technical reviewers something concrete to check. That is the conversation we want to have with clients."

Research and scope: The AI-assisted studies are local, single-host publication experiments, not Qtonic Quantum product tests. The TLS study used in-memory transport and did not establish network performance or production interoperability. No FIPS validation or government authorization is claimed. The report's selective news-review cutoff is September 8, 2026. It provides general information and planning analysis. Procurement requirements become contractual only when incorporated into an executed agreement. Full methods, limits and legal notices appear in the report.
