WISeKey, Hashgraph, Hedera Launch Quantum Risk Assessment Tool

WISeKey International Holding Ltd (SIX: WIHN; NASDAQ: WKEY) has launched the QAIT Q-Day Security Assessment Platform in collaboration with The Hashgraph Group and Hedera, establishing a dedicated quantum security service within the SEALCOIN Quantum Marketplace. The platform addresses the approaching threat of “Q-Day,” the point at which advancing quantum computers could compromise widely used public-key cryptography systems like RSA and ECC, potentially disrupting financial systems and critical infrastructure. Designed to evaluate and mitigate these emerging cybersecurity risks, the QAIT platform combines artificial intelligence, blockchain technology, and post-quantum security expertise to offer comprehensive readiness assessments for organizations. “Quantum computing represents both a significant technological opportunity and a substantial cybersecurity challenge,” said Carlos Moreira, Founder and CEO of WISeKey; with this launch, the companies aim to create an ecosystem for organizations to prepare for the next generation of digital infrastructure.

SEALCOIN Quantum Marketplace Launches QAIT Q-Day Assessment Platform

The threat of quantum computing to existing cybersecurity infrastructure is no longer theoretical; experts now predict a timeframe defined by “Q-Day,” when current encryption methods become vulnerable to attack. This marketplace provides organizations with tools to proactively evaluate and mitigate risks posed by quantum computers, a challenge that could destabilize financial systems and critical infrastructure. The platform’s core function is to deliver a comprehensive assessment of an organization’s preparedness for the quantum era, identifying vulnerabilities in cryptographic assets and infrastructure. Beyond detection, the system generates AI-driven recommendations for remediation and facilitates the creation of migration roadmaps toward post-quantum cryptography, offering a proactive approach to security. Continuous monitoring and secure recording of assessment results on a distributed ledger are also key features, ensuring ongoing quantum readiness and compliance.

The launch of the QAIT platform establishes a practical utility for QAIT, the native token within the SEALCOIN Quantum Marketplace, enabling transactions for advanced assessments, AI-driven reporting, and future quantum-secure applications. Built on Hedera’s enterprise-grade distributed ledger technology, the platform benefits from the security and scalability of a robust infrastructure, supported by THG’s technology engineering team and the broader Hedera innovation ecosystem.

QAIT Platform Assesses Quantum Cybersecurity Risks & Vulnerabilities

While the development of fault-tolerant quantum computers remains complex, the approaching “Q-Day,” when cryptographic systems become susceptible to quantum attacks, is driving a surge in demand for quantum risk assessment services. This platform provides a comprehensive evaluation of an organization’s quantum readiness, moving beyond theoretical risk analysis to actionable mitigation strategies. Unlike simple vulnerability scans, the system identifies vulnerable cryptographic assets and infrastructures, then generates AI-driven recommendations for remediation. This extends to developing migration roadmaps toward post-quantum cryptography, a crucial step for long-term security. Continuous monitoring is also a key feature, allowing organizations to track their quantum readiness over time and securely record assessment results on a distributed ledger. This marketplace facilitates access to specialized assessments, compliance reporting tools, and future quantum-secure applications, all powered by the QAIT token as a native utility for transactions.

Stefan Deiss, Co-Founder and CEO of The Hashgraph Group, emphasized the importance of this proactive approach, stating that quantum readiness is rapidly becoming a strategic priority, and this initiative provides organizations with the tools necessary to understand and address emerging risks while leveraging Hedera’s secure distributed ledger technology and innovation ecosystem. This initiative is particularly relevant given growing global efforts to adopt quantum-resistant technologies, driven by recommendations from cybersecurity agencies and standards bodies.

Jonathan LLamas, Chief Product and Strategy Officer of SEALCOIN AG, added that the SEALCOIN platform was designed to enable trusted machine-to-machine and service-to-service economies through decentralized infrastructure. The launch of the Quantum Marketplace extends that vision into the quantum era by providing a dedicated environment where organizations can discover, access, and consume quantum readiness and post-quantum cybersecurity services. The first phase of the platform is scheduled for launch this year, targeting organizations across critical sectors including finance, healthcare, and energy.

Hedera and Hashgraph Support AI-Driven Remediation Roadmaps

This platform is engineered to evaluate an organization’s entire quantum readiness posture, moving beyond identifying weaknesses to actively charting a course toward resilience. Built on Hedera’s distributed ledger technology and bolstered by The Hashgraph Group’s engineering expertise, the QAIT platform aims to provide a multi-faceted approach to quantum risk mitigation. Organizations utilizing the platform can assess their exposure to quantum-related cybersecurity risks, pinpoint vulnerable cryptographic assets, and leverage artificial intelligence to generate tailored remediation recommendations. A key component is the development of migration roadmaps toward post-quantum cryptography, acknowledging that a proactive transition is essential rather than a reactive response to a breach. The system facilitates continuous monitoring, allowing organizations to track their progress and adapt to the evolving quantum landscape, and secure recording of assessment results on distributed ledger infrastructure ensures transparency and accountability, crucial for compliance and auditing purposes.

QAIT Token Enables Utility Within the Quantum Ecosystem

Cybersecurity experts are increasingly focused on “Q-Day,” the point at which existing cryptographic infrastructure becomes vulnerable to attacks from sufficiently powerful quantum computers, potentially disrupting sectors from finance to healthcare. The QAIT platform distinguishes itself by establishing a functional utility for the QAIT token, which serves as the native settlement mechanism for transactions within the SEALCOIN marketplace. Advanced assessments, AI-driven reporting, and continuous monitoring services are all accessible through QAIT-powered transactions, creating a practical economic framework for quantum security. The platform’s capabilities extend beyond simple vulnerability scans, offering continuous monitoring to track an organization’s evolving quantum readiness.
