Forescout brings PQC visibility to IT, OT, IoT, and IoMT environments Forescout has announced the launch of its Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Readiness and Encryption Hygiene Dashboards. The new dashboards are designed to help organizations identify, prioritize, and manage quantum risk across information technology (IT), operational technology (OT), Internet of Things (IoT), and medical devices (IoMT) environments. As organizations face new pressures from regulators, auditors, and boards to demonstrate PQC awareness and progress, Forescout accelerated its development timeline to deliver operational security capabilities to understand and prioritize where quantum-unsafe encryption creates real exposure. “Organizations don’t just need new algorithms or upgraded platforms, they need clarity about where quantum-unsafe encryption creates exposure in their environments,” said Barry Mainz, CEO of Forescout. “The PQC readiness and encryption hygiene dashboards are designed to deliver that clarity, helping security leaders see, prioritize, and reduce quantum risk now, even as full migration progresses over time.” Quantum risk is pervasive New data from Forescout Research – Vedere Labs highlights the urgency of PQC readiness. The report shows that most of the internet remains unprepared for quantum threats, with nearly 90% of SSH servers not yet quantum-safe. Within enterprise environments, readiness is even more uneven, particularly across cyber-physical systems. While 50% of IT devices support PQC-capable SSH, adoption drops sharply across other environments: only 28% of IoT devices, 16% of OT devices, and 6% of IoMT devices. These gaps underscore a critical challenge: future migration deadlines are approaching, but the required work starts now. Governments and standards bodies are clear that organizations cannot wait until 2030 to begin. They must first inventory cryptographic usage, assess exposure, and understand where quantum risk is concentrated across their environments today. Making PQC exposure visible, measurable, and actionable Forescout’s PQC dashboards address this challenge by delivering continuous visibility into cryptographic usage and
