Identify
The first step toward quantum-safe communications is understanding how existing systems are vulnerable. Classical encryption methods such as RSA and ECC are at risk from quantum computing, and sensitive data is already being collected under “store now, decrypt later” strategies. Merqury supports organisations through a Quantum Security Audit and Risk Assessment. This process identifies vulnerabilities in current defences and evaluates risk based on factors like industry, data sensitivity, and attack vectors. The audit produces a detailed risk report with recommendations. Recognising and addressing quantum threats early is essential for organisations operating in critical and data-sensitive environments.
Improve
Once risks are identified, Merqury develops a customised quantum implementation plan. This includes a roadmap for integrating quantum-safe solutions and recommendations on the optimal combination of hardware and software. If required, a bespoke QKD network will be designed to fit the organisation’s infrastructure. The plan also facilitates compliance with emerging quantum security standards. All components are vendor-agnostic and built for compatibility with certified QKD providers. This phase ensures that each organisation receives a tailored approach that aligns with its operational needs and prepares it for a secure transition to quantum-safe communications.
Implement
Merqury deploys quantum-safe technologies with minimal disruption to existing infrastructure. Our solutions integrate with current systems, offering a seamless transition without the need for network rebuilds. The platform is vendor-agnostic and compatible with certified QKD hardware from providers such as ID Quantique, Toshiba, and LuxQuanta. Deployment includes the integration of post-quantum cryptography and, where applicable, quantum key distribution. Support services include ongoing system updates and security maintenance. This implementation phase ensures that organisations can adopt quantum-safe communication tools efficiently while maintaining operational continuity across critical systems and infrastructure.
