Post-Quantum Cryptography Coalition Publishes PQC Inventory Workbook
MCLEAN, Va. & BEDFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Post-Quantum Cryptography Coalition (PQCC) published its Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Inventory Workbook to assist organizations of all sizes in creating a centralized inventory to track cryptographic migration efforts. 'Building an inventory is essential for effective migration planning and long-term success. The PQC Inventory Workbook helps to create a centralized inventory to track cryptographic migration efforts," said Wen Masters, MITRE. Share 'As highlighted within the coalition's PQC Migration Roadmap, building an inventory is essential for effective migration planning and long-term success,' said Wen Masters, vice president of cyber technologies, MITRE. 'The workbook serves as a resource to help organizations achieve their migration goals.' The workbook provides a streamlined set of fields to assess PQC needs, plan system life cycles, and prioritize assets for migration. Organizations can use the workbook as is or customize it to meet their specific needs, including adding fields to track additional data over time. The workbook further helps organizations: Identify and define systems or assets to track. Categorize assets by priority (e.g., high, medium, or low). Populate the inventory tab with available information. Update the inventory as new data or systems are identified. The workbook also contains a glossary that defines key cryptographic terms and lists the vulnerability of common algorithms. 'The coalition continues to provide new resources to the greater cyber community to help them better manage their transition to quantum-resistant cryptographic systems,' said Matt Mickelson, lead coordinator of the PQCC and senior cyber principal for science and technology, MITRE. 'This spring the Coalition published the PQC Migration Roadmap, now we have the inventory workbook, and we plan to publish quantum risk assessment materials later this year.'

Post-Quantum Cryptography Coalition Unveils PQC Migration Roadmap
MCLEAN, Va. & BEDFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Post-Quantum Cryptography Coalition (PQCC) released its Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Migration Roadmap to assist organizations of all sizes in navigating the complexities of transitioning to quantum-safe cryptography. 'As quantum computing technology continues to advance, organizations cannot afford to delay preparing for these transformative changes and threats to their security,' said Wen Masters, vice president of cyber technologies, MITRE. Share 'As quantum computing technology continues to advance, organizations cannot afford to delay preparing for these transformative changes and threats to their security,' said Wen Masters, vice president of cyber technologies, MITRE. "This roadmap empowers CIOs (chief information officers) and CISOs (chief information security officers) to act decisively, taking proactive steps to protect sensitive data now and in the future.' Key features of the PQC Migration Roadmap include: Preparation: Learn how to identify relevant stakeholders, assess vulnerabilities, and align organizational goals with migration timelines. Baseline Understanding: Develop an inventory of cryptographic assets and prioritize critical resources. Planning and Execution: Acquire or develop quantum-safe solutions and implement them with precision. Monitoring and Evaluation: Establish robust tracking measures and continuously assess cryptographic security as quantum threats evolve. Building on the National Institute of Standards and Technology PQC standards and the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence PQC migration project, the coalition's roadmap allows organizations to quickly and easily tailor a PQC Roadmap for their own needs based on the shared experiences of the PQCC members. 'I'm overjoyed to see the coalition come together to create this roadmap that anyone can use to accelerate their own PQC migration,' said Matt Mickelson, lead coordinator of the PQC Coalition and senior cyber principal for science and technology, MITRE. Download the PQC Migration Roadmap to gain insights into how your organization can prepare for the future of quantum-safe security. For more updates, visit to see the state of the migration on the PQC heatmap, and look for a tailorable PQC inventory workbook tool to be released soon.

Binarly Expands Platform to Enable Post-Quantum Compliance Readiness
The all-new Binarly Transparency Platform v2.7 adds cryptographic reachability and PQC compliance features to enable forward-looking organizations to meet NIST standards and deadlines with confidence. SANTA MONICA, Calif., January 30, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Binarly, a leader in firmware and software supply chain security, today announced the release of its flagship Binarly Transparency Platform v2.7, a major update that immediately enables corporate defenders to prepare for a mandatory transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) standards. As quantum computing advances, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has issued fresh guidance on Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), underscoring the urgency of PQC readiness amid deadlines and regulations. Transitioning large enterprises to meet these new requirements is a lengthy, often complex process. The latest product update has been fitted with patented technologies to handle discovery, inventorying and assessment of cryptographic assets: Cryptographic Keys: Ownership, algorithm identifier, format, and status (active or deprecated) accurately documented. Certificates: Validity period, ownership, and algorithm used, captured and displayed in streamlined reports. Algorithms: Accurate tracking and identification of algorithms in use, and assessment of their ability to resist quantum attacks. Protocols (TLS, etc.): Inventory that includes version and implementation details to track any dependencies. "Preparedness for PQC can't happen overnight," said Ryan Weekes, Chief Product Officer at Binarly. "Our platform helps you discover which assets need immediate attention while delivering the insights required to align with new regulations for post-quantum readiness." By identifying outdated or insecure cryptography, enterprises can better manage their transition to post-quantum standards and avoid compliance gaps. Key PQC-focused enhancements: Cryptographic Reachability: Identify which cryptographic algorithms in a binary are actively used, so you can prioritize changes that truly matter. PQC Compliance: Track NIST-approved post-quantum algorithms, pinpoint outdated cryptography, and plan targeted updates for quantum-safe security. Enhanced CBOM and Reporting: Build a robust inventory of certificates, keys, and algorithms while generating streamlined reports for cross-team collaboration. "Our new cryptographic reachability feature cuts through false positives to highlight exactly which algorithms are actively in use," said Alex Matrosov, CEO and Head of Research at Binarly. "Enterprises gain an actionable blueprint to modernize their cryptographic assets and stay ahead of regulatory mandates." With v2.7, the Binarly Transparency Platform introduces key feature improvements, performance upgrades, and critical updates to better support software supply chain transparency, vulnerability remediation, and regulatory compliance. About Binarly: Binarly is a U.S.-based firmware and software supply chain security company founded in 2021. The company's flagship Binarly Transparency Platform helps device manufacturers, OEMs and enterprise product security teams to detect vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, exposed secrets, and malicious code in hardware and software supply chains.
