Sectigo announced the release of Sectigo Quantum Labs to help organizations prepare for when quantum computers render existing standard encryption algorithms obsolete.

Further, the company has partnered with ISARA Corporation, a provider of crypto-agile quantum-safe security solutions. ISARA will provide enterprises with tools for issuing quantum-safe certificates.

Sectigo’s Quantum-Safe Certificate Toolkit was released as the partnerships for solutions.

As part of Quantum Labs, Sectigo created over 40 videos, webinars, white papers, podcasts, and other content type, all available for free.

“The implementation of any new encryption technology carries risk before it has a chance to mature,” said chief analysts of 451 Research Eric Hanselman, in a recent report from the research firm. “The larger focus for organizations should be on building cryptographic agility, so that they’re able to shift to new ciphers as they become available and the impact of quantum capabilities become real.”

The partnership with ISARA promotes the incorporation of quantum-safe cryptographic algorithms to create quantum-resilient PKI solutions.

The solutions are to be deployed in advance of the “Quantum Apocalypse.”
