Strengthening Quantum Readiness with TYCHON’s Automated Cryptographic Inventory Solution

Quantum computing is evolving quickly, and while it promises to deliver productive research gains, it also creates a real threat to privacy and national security. Since 2019, the number of computational units in quantum computers, or qubits, has grown by roughly 10 times. At the same time, there are dramatic improvements in their efficiency and accessibility. And, while experts contend the technology needed to break complex ciphers doesn’t exist yet, the nation’s adversaries are already collecting data to be stored away and decrypted when enough qubits are available.

TYCHON’s toolset focuses on centralizing automation from anywhere that data comes into play, whether from the data-gathering level or a central location, ultimately using that information to identify security priorities. TYCHON's dynamic dashboards are built using Elastic and Splunk, the same technology that powers the DHS CDM Dashboard. Most federal agencies have personnel with Elastic and Splunk skillsets in-house, making TYCHON a simple and effective solution. In this Tech Spotlight, you'll discover:
