Horizen Labs launches the Quantum Security Ecosystem Map. Horizen Labs Nov 12, 2026, 09:25 ET A free and interactive guide to the vendors supporting quantum-resistant migration, launching with 75 providers and eight launch partners. NEW YORK, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ - Horizen Labs today launched the Quantum Security Ecosystem Map, a free and interactive guide to the vendors helping organizations migrate to quantum-resistant cryptography. The map shows which providers support each phase of a migration, across every layer of the cryptographic estate, so security, risk, and compliance leaders can see who does what and where to start. Harvest now, decrypt later is not a future problem. Adversaries are collecting encrypted data today and storing it to decrypt once a cryptographically relevant quantum computer exists. Data with a long sensitivity life, such as government records, financial data, health records, and intellectual property, is already exposed. Many organizations now have a quantum-resistant migration on their roadmap. The harder question is who can help. The market has grown quickly and spans discovery, risk assessment, interim protection, migration, and ongoing management, delivered as software, hardware, managed services, and consulting. For a buyer, the landscape is difficult to read. The Quantum Security Ecosystem Map was built to make it legible. A quantum-resistant migration is not a single product bought once. It runs in stages, from finding where vulnerable cryptography lives to replacing it and keeping it current, and it reaches across the whole cryptographic estate. No single vendor does it all, which is a large part of why the market is so hard to navigate. The map is organized around the buyer's position rather than vendor categories. It sorts providers by the stage of migration they support and the part of the estate they cover, so a security leader can start from a simple question: where am I and what am I protecting, and see who can help with that step. The map launches with 75 providers, mapped by Horizen Labs using publicly available information. Each provider can confirm or correct its placement and add a profile. "A quantum-resistant migration takes years, and the cryptography is only part of it. The harder work is knowing what you have, deciding what to change first, and coordinating vendors that each cover one piece. Organizations that start that work now will make those decisions with time and options. We built the map so buyers can see who covers each step, and so the market can see where coverage is still thin." - Rob Viglione, CEO, Horizen Labs LAUNCH PARTNERS Eight companies have joined the launch as partners: * American Binary provides quantum-resistant protection for data in transit, with an enterprise VPN built to meet CNSA 2.0 and to run alongside existing infrastructure. * Venari Security provides cryptographic discovery and continuous assurance, giving enterprises visibility into encrypted traffic and cryptographic risk as they prepare to migrate to quantum-resistant cryptography. "You can't defend what you can't see. Most organizations still don't know where their encryption is, or how much of it is already weak. Venari gives them that visibility, and the Quantum Security Ecosystem Map connects it to the partners who can help them act on it." - Tom Millar, CEO, Venari Security * Patero provides cryptographic inventory and a secure communications overlay that protects data in motion for critical infrastructure, federal, and defense networks. "The hardest part of quantum readiness is deciding what to change first while keeping critical systems running. Horizen Labs brings the cryptographic expertise and business judgment to make that decision. Patero helps put it to work by making cryptographic dependencies visible and giving teams a way to test post-quantum protection on a connection their business depends on." - Peter Bentley, CEO, Patero Inc. * ExeQuantum pairs cryptographic discovery and bill-of-materials generation with formally verified quantum-resistant encryption, in a single control plane. * Q Space Labs builds quantum-secure communication infrastructure for space, including laser-based optical links and QKD nodes. "Space assets such as satellites, drones, and HAPs are becoming a nation's most critical infrastructure. Yet operating on open radio leaves them exposed to interception and Harvest Now, Decrypt Later attacks. That is why quantum readiness for space must start today. At Q Space Labs, we provide complete security across both RF and optical communications." - Ritesh Balayan, Founder and CEO, Q Space Labs * Gopher Security offers a quantum-resistant, zero-trust network with one identity, policy, and audit engine spanning user traffic and AI workloads. * Certes provides policy-based encryption for data in motion at Layer 4, with crypto-agility and support for quantum-resistant algorithms, requiring no application or network changes. "PQC adoption is not simply a technology upgrade. Organisations need the expertise to identify their highest-risk cryptographic dependencies, prioritise the data that matters most and implement protection without disrupting existing applications and infrastructure. By bringing together Horizen Labs' quantum threat assessment expertise and Certes' crypto-agile data protection, organisations have a more practical path from understanding risk to protecting priority data flows and building quantum readiness." - Dan Panesar, CRO at Certes * CyberRidge offers photonic-layer security that protects data in transit at the optical layer, complementary to cryptographic controls. "The world is investing trillions in data centers, and every byte that moves between them travels as light, over fiber running through public networks. Today's security keeps trying to stay ahead of agentic AI and quantum computing, but attackers always find a way around it: a stolen key, exposed metadata, or data harvested now to be opened later. CyberRidge takes a new path: we turn the bits into optical noise, making it impossible for any bad actor to harvest or open the data." - Ohad Greenshpan, Chief Revenue Officer, CyberRidge AVAILABILITY The Quantum Security Ecosystem Map is live at horizenlabs.io/quantum-security/ecosystem-map.

Patero and Horizen Labs collaborate to help organizations prepare for post-quantum security. News originally published by November 11, 2026, 14:00 GMT The collaboration pairs Horizen Labs' quantum risk advisory with Patero's cryptographic discovery and network protection tools. COLLEGE PARK, MD, UNITED STATES, November 11, 2026 / EINPresswire.com / - Patero Inc. and Horizen Labs today announced a collaboration to help organizations identify where they rely on cryptography, decide what to migrate first, and test post-quantum protection for critical network connections. Most organizations have years of cryptographic decisions embedded in applications, infrastructure, and third-party services. Finding those dependencies is the first step. Deciding which changes to fund, how to sequence them, and how to validate them in a live environment is where migration gets hard. Horizen Labs will lead advisory engagements that translate technical findings into a prioritized migration roadmap. Where selected, Patero's PanoQoR(TM) will help clients build a cryptographic inventory and document gaps in visibility. When an assessment identifies a suitable use case, Patero's CryptoQoR(TM) can be evaluated in a scoped pilot to protect a specific connection, such as a remote administrative path or a sensitive link between sites. "Every quantum-readiness program has to answer a practical question. What can we change first without disrupting the business?" said Peter Bentley, CEO of Patero. "Horizen Labs helps leaders make that decision. Patero gives technical teams the evidence to act on it and the tools to test protection on a real network path before committing to a broader rollout." "A migration roadmap earns its keep when it tells a client what to fund first and what evidence they'll need to approve a rollout," said Rob Viglione, CEO of Horizen Labs. "We help clients weigh which systems matter most, how long their data needs to stay confidential, and what each change could disrupt. Working with Patero gives us a way to turn a priority from that assessment into a test on the client's network." The collaboration can build on a client's existing cryptographic inventory or establish a baseline where one is needed. A pilot can then give the client a concrete basis for a production decision, with defined endpoints, performance and interoperability criteria, and a tested rollback plan. Horizen Labs selected Patero as a key partner in its PQC Vendor Ecosystem Map, which shares solution providers for different areas of a cryptographic estate and for each phase of a PQC migration journey.
