Q-Day Countdown Begins—It’s Time to Take Stock of Encrypted Assets.
QIZ Security just closed a $1.7 million seed round. Evolution Equity Partners led the investment, with Singtel Innov8 as a follow-on investor.
What this 2025-founded company is doing is very concrete: it has no agents—only pure API integration. It automatically scans all keys, encryption protocols, and weak algorithms within an enterprise, and produces a “post-quantum migration map.”
My perspective:
- Quantum cracking isn’t science fiction. NIST has already finalized PQC standards, and regulators in the U.S. and Europe have begun calling for financial and public-sector organizations to migrate first
- Traditional CSPM targets configurations, while QIZ is managing the “ciphertext itself”—a new sub-sector
- Singtel’s involvement indicates that Southeast Asia’s telecom-grade customers are already lining up to pilot
This also matters for Web3: wallet signatures, cross-chain bridges, and the underlying proof systems of L2s are all based on elliptic curves. Once Q-Day arrives, even cold wallets won’t be safe. Whoever first engineers the PQC migration will capture the next round of “institutional compliance” entry tickets.
It entered the seed round early—worth adding to the watchlist.
