Quantum-Safe Protection for Communications, Identities and Devices
QD5 Inc. secures government, enterprise and critical infrastructure organizations with a unified cybersecurity platform built on One-Time Pad (OTP) encryption and deployed into existing IT and OT systems.
Two Markets, One Platform
QD5 brings the same patented technology to government and enterprise customers, configured for the requirements of each.
GovernmentGovernment and Defense
Protection for classified information, national security systems and the agencies that rely on them, from a team led by former senior U.S. defense officials.
- Classified and sensitive government communications
- Defense and intelligence networks
- Critical public infrastructure and industrial control
EnterpriseEnterprise and Critical Industries
Information sovereignty for organizations of any size, deployed into existing IT and OT systems at the cost of conventional cybersecurity.
- Financial services, mortgage and real estate
- Telecommunications
- Mergers and acquisitions
- Remote and distributed workforces
One Platform, Three Core Pillars
QD5 combines quantum-safe encryption with the controls organizations already rely on, so data stays protected across every device, user and connection.
Unified Endpoint Management
Remote management, control and protection for every device in the organization.
- Suspend or permanently wipe lost or stolen devices
- Prevent data residue on local devices with a virtual desktop
- Enforce security policy centrally for remote teams
Identity and Access Management
Zero-trust control over who and what can reach the network.
- Authenticate and authorize every device
- Enforce endpoint security policies
- Grant, deny or quarantine access in real time
Secure Communications
OTP-encrypted protection for data at rest, in use and in motion.
- Defend against harvest-now, decrypt-later attacks today
- Shield information from future quantum attacks
- Protect against man-in-the-middle interception
Harvest Now, Decrypt Later
Adversaries can copy encrypted data today and store it until quantum computers can break the public-key encryption, such as RSA and ECC, that protects most systems now.
Data Is Collected
Encrypted communications and files are intercepted and copied, even though they cannot yet be read.
Data Is Held
The stolen data is stored until machines powerful enough to decrypt it become available.
Data Is Exposed
A sufficiently capable quantum computer could decrypt information that is still sensitive.
Software-only post-quantum algorithms rely on mathematical problems believed to be hard and remain theoretically vulnerable to future breakthroughs. Records that must stay confidential for decades need protection designed to hold for that long.
Built on One-Time Pad Encryption
One-Time Pad (OTP) is the only classical encryption method mathematically proven to provide perfect secrecy. Its protection does not depend on an attacker's computing power, which makes it inherently quantum-safe.
The technique has long been used by the diplomatic, military and intelligence communities. QD5 delivers it at enterprise scale and pairs it with current controls, including zero trust, under secure-by-design principles.
- Patented
- U.S. Patent No. 12,294,645 B2, "Systems and methods for securing a quantum-safe digital network environment"
- Zero trust
- Engineered for environments where no user, device or connection is trusted by default
- Deployment
- Integrates into existing IT and OT environments without the cost and complexity of quantum key distribution
The Components Behind the Platform
Together they protect data in transit, monitor the network and control who and what can connect.
Quantum-Safe Private Network
OTP-encrypted transport that protects data in transit against harvest-now, decrypt-later attacks.
- Industrial control systems
- Remote access and interoffice networking
Quantum-Safe Secure Operations Center
Continuous monitoring with AI-driven detection and response, managing network policy across the organization.
- Continuous monitoring
- Policy management across IT and OT
Cloud-Native Security Platform
Zero-trust architecture that controls which users and devices can access the network.
- Network access control
- Identity management, federated identity and device quarantine
Q Router and Q Gateway
Hardened, managed devices that encrypt and decrypt network traffic and link sites across the private network.
- Integrated security controls
- Protection against unauthorized connectivity
Where Data Must Stay Protected for Decades
The platform can be configured to meet the data privacy requirements of organizations of any size.
Government and Defense
Classified files are a primary target for state actors.
Industrial Control
A preferred target for rogue nation-states and criminal groups alike.
Financial Services
Large volumes of personally identifiable information are processed every day.
Telecommunications
Networks are exposed to data harvesting through man-in-the-middle attacks.
Mortgage and Real Estate
Corporate documents, financial records and PII make the sector vulnerable.
Mergers and Acquisitions
Sensitive data is often shared by email and file-sharing services.
Remote Workforces
Home office hardware gives attackers an easy way into the organization.
Cyber-Resilient Data Centers New division
QD5 Hark AI Development, LLC, jointly owned by QD5 Inc. and Hark Capital Group, Inc. (Hark Ventures), is developing purpose-built data centers designed to withstand quantum-computing attack capability.
Rather than relying solely on algorithm-based post-quantum cryptography, the facilities integrate the QD5 platform end to end.
