    LastWall has launched Quantum Shield, a quantum-safe transport-layer security endpoint and load balancer, designed to protect against Q-Day threats.

    LastWall has released Quantum Shield, a quantum-safe transport-layer security endpoint and load balancer that it says provides protection against the inevitable Q-Day threat.

    This quantum security solution is designed for cryptographic agility and can be quickly and easily updated to meet the latest NIST security standards.

    “Quantum cryptographic resilience is central to our product stack, with our identity platform built around this as a core defensive principle,” stated Karl Holmqvist, Founder and CEO, Lastwall. “Having successfully provided transport layer resilience to our internal and client security operations, we now aim to make it accessible to all organizations through our Quantum Shield offering."

    In advance of this day, threat actors are utilizing a steal-now-decrypt-later methodology to steal encrypted files with the purpose of decrypting them in the future using quantum computing. This means that nearly all traditional encryption methods are vulnerable, and hold value for attackers looking to steal sensitive data.

    “The urgency to protect critical data intensifies as the acceleration of quantum computational capabilities advances. A fast, easy-to-deploy solution that has been thoroughly researched will benefit those who recognize the need to act now,” Holquist concluded.
