CypherGenics’ FASTKAT secures data for a post-quantum world

CypherGenics launched FASTKAT on August 26, 2026, a security technology designed to secure digital identities, authentication, and encryption against both quantum computing and rapidly evolving AI-driven attacks. The platform is supported by a growing U.S. patent portfolio, including U.S. Patent No. 12,587,513, covering techniques for securing digital data with CypherGenics-enabled encryption and digital signatures, the company says.

“Quantum computing will fundamentally change the cybersecurity landscape, and the rise of autonomous AI systems is only accelerating that timeline,” said Kent Kresa, CEO and chairman of the board at CypherGenics. He further stated FASTKAT offers a new approach to protect connected systems and critical infrastructure.

FASTKAT Technology Secures Identity, Authentication and Encryption

CypherGenics’ intellectual property portfolio underpins the FASTKAT technology, extending beyond quantum resistance to encompass secure digital ecosystems, encryption, and blockchain verification. U.S. Patent No. 12,587,513 also covers verification of blockchains and methods for encoding and decoding executable instructions, demonstrating a comprehensive approach to data protection. FASTKAT was launched to address escalating challenges in scalability and complexity facing traditional security architectures as organizations prepare for quantum computing threats and the increasing sophistication of AI-driven attacks.

The accelerating development of artificial intelligence is compounding cybersecurity risks, providing attackers with tools to identify cryptographic weaknesses at an unprecedented rate. Simultaneously, AI is expanding the number of connected identities and systems requiring authentication, creating a demand for faster, machine-speed security protocols. FASTKAT is designed to secure this growing population of AI-driven identities and connected systems without the performance limitations of conventional Public Key Infrastructure.

Regulatory frameworks are driving demand for quantum-ready cybersecurity solutions, particularly for organizations managing sensitive data and interconnected environments. Rory Duncan, principal analyst at Richmond Advisory Group, said, “As regulatory frameworks become law, quantum-ready cybersecurity will be a non-negotiable for organizations managing sensitive data and increasingly connected environments.” Solutions capable of securing operational technology and Internet of Things devices in low-power and low-bandwidth environments will be crucial for practical, scalable security implementations; CypherGenics’ use of dynamic object modification and genomic differentiation offers a unique approach to achieving quantum resilience. William Arbaugh, president of CypherGenics, stated, “FASTKAT delivers a new approach to quantum-ready security, helping organizations protect identities, data, devices, and digital interactions against the evolving threats of tomorrow.”
