Quantum Decryption Countdown Begins—Have You Really Accounted for Your Company’s Encrypted Assets?
QIZ Security has completed a $1.7 million seed round, led by Evolution Equity Partners and Singtel Innov8. Founded in 2025, the team’s work is refreshingly straightforward: no overhyped “agents”—it uses only APIs to automatically map everything in a company, including all keys, certificates, encryption protocols, and weak passwords, producing an “encryption asset map.”
Why it’s worth paying attention to?
First, the Q-Day perspective. When quantum computing power becomes sufficient to break RSA/ECC, every system that relies on today’s traditional asymmetric encryption will be exposed. QIZ helps enterprises plan the migration path to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) in advance.
Second, compliance pressure. NIST has already finalized PQC standards, and regulators in the United States, the European Union, and Singapore are rolling out timelines. Financial services and critical infrastructure are the first to be targeted. Who can get a clear picture of their assets fastest will earn the transition-period “pass.”
Third, the entry strategy is smart. No agent plus API automation means lower deployment friction and better fit for large organizations’ complex IT environments.
The lesson for Web3 builders is equally clear: on-chain signatures, wallets, cross-chain bridges, and zero-knowledge circuits are heavily based on elliptic curves. PQC migration isn’t a “let’s deal with it later” topic—it’s an engineering task that must be put on the roadmap in the coming years. Crypto agility will be the next wave of infrastructure upside.
