NetRise PQC Readiness

What Is NetRise PQC Readiness?

NetRise PQC Readiness is a capability of NetRise Turbine that extracts cryptographic inventories from compiled software — algorithms, certificates, public keys, and private keys — and classifies them as quantum-vulnerable, PQC-ready, or quantum-capable, so organizations can plan and execute post-quantum migration programs based on what is actually deployed rather than what is declared.

Most organizations cannot answer the foundational PQC question with confidence: where, exactly, is quantum-vulnerable cryptography embedded across the software they deploy and depend on? Documentation describes intent; binaries describe reality. Cryptography that protects sensitive data today will not protect it forever, and adversaries are already harvesting encrypted data with the intent to decrypt it once quantum capability arrives (the "harvest now, decrypt later" problem).

NetRise Turbine discovers cryptography across firmware, operating systems, kernels, executables, containers, and compiled libraries — flagging expired or soon-to-expire certificates, weak or exposed keys, and legacy algorithms. It also flags quantum-capable assets — software capable of supporting PQC algorithms — so teams can prioritize where PQC adoption may be feasible sooner. Outputs include a PQC readiness PDF report designed for executives, program offices, and oversight bodies, and a Cryptographic Bill of Materials (CBOM) export aligned to CycloneDX 1.6 that provides a machine-readable inventory of cryptographic elements suitable for downstream integration, audit reporting, and regulatory deliverables (including OMB M-23-02 and CNSA 2.0).
