Patero, Horizen Labs partner to help organizations prioritize post-quantum cryptography migration

Patero Inc. and Horizen Labs 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 will help clients build a cryptographic inventory and document gaps in visibility. When an assessment identifies a suitable use case, Patero’s CryptoQoR 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.”
