SandboxAQ, a leader in AI and cybersecurity solutions, is providing its technology and expertise to the Department of War (DoW) Chief Information Officer (CIO) to accelerate the discovery and inventory of cryptographic assets across the DoW environment. This represents a foundational step towards a managed transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and supports overall cyber readiness.
Building on SandboxAQ’s successful demonstration of its advanced quantum-resistant cryptography capabilities during a prototype project with DISA Emerging Technology’s QRC PKI programme, the DoW CIO is now leveraging the company’s AQtive Guard platform for comprehensive, automated cryptographic discovery and inventory (ACDI) across its systems.
This strategic move comes as organisations face growing pressure to modernise cybersecurity infrastructure in response to increasingly sophisticated AI-powered attacks, the proliferation of non-human identities and the emerging threat of quantum computing.
AQtive Guard provides a centralised platform for managing cryptographic security, enabling organisations to efficiently discover and inventory cryptographic assets and dependencies within their environments. This agreement also paves the way for other DoW agencies to access and implement AQtive Guard, creating a foundational understanding of cryptographic exposure across the department.
“The DoW CIO is dedicated to modernising its cybersecurity practices as attacks increase in both intensity and sophistication,” said Jack Hidary, CEO of SandboxAQ. “This agreement underscores the government’s commitment to advancing cryptographic standards that address both AI-driven and quantum threats. SandboxAQ is proud to support the DoW CIO as it works to ensure defence systems remain resilient, interoperable and agile.”
