Black Kite debuts Quantum Readiness controls to assess post-quantum security across vendor ecosystems

Black Kite, provider of third-party cyber risk management solutions, announced the release of Quantum Readiness, a new set of controls within the SSL/TLS Strength category of the Black Kite Cyber Rating that evaluates quantum agility across an organization’s third-party vendor ecosystem.

“We built Quantum Readiness to give customers early visibility into quantum agility across their supply chains and help them understand which vendors are preparing for one of the most significant cryptographic transitions ahead.”

“Quantum readiness cannot stop at the agency perimeter,” said Megan Rolander, Public Sector Director, Black Kite.

Black Kite gives agencies visibility into quantum agility across that broader ecosystem before these requirements become more urgent.”

Measuring quantum agility provides an important signal of how mature an organization’s security program is and whether they are taking the steps necessary to prepare for the coming quantum era.”
