PQC Migration & Quantum-Safe Cryptography for Enterprises
Quantum computers will eventually be capable of compromising today’s widely used encryption standards such as RSA and ECC. To stay ahead of this threat, organizations need to begin preparing their IT infrastructure for Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) today.
Together, DARZ and MTG provide enterprises with a secure and structured approach to PQC migration — from assessing existing cryptographic environments to implementing quantum-safe technologies aligned with the latest NIST and BSI recommendations.
By combining secure infrastructure, highly available data center services, and deep cryptographic expertise, DARZ and MTG enable organizations to build a future-proof, quantum-ready security strategy.
Protect your sensitive data today against tomorrow’s quantum threats.
What is PQC (Post-Quantum Cryptography)?
Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) refers to cryptographic algorithms designed to remain secure even against attacks from quantum computers. The goal is to enhance or replace current encryption technologies with quantum-resistant alternatives before existing standards become vulnerable.
Why PQC Matters Today
Powerful quantum computers could eventually break traditional cryptographic systems such as RSA and ECC. One of the most critical risks is the so-called:
“Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” Scenario
Attackers are already collecting encrypted data today with the intention of decrypting it once quantum computing capabilities become available.
That is why organizations should strategically begin preparing for quantum-safe cryptography now.
Why Organizations Need to Act Now
PQC migration is no longer a future concern — it is becoming a business and compliance imperative. Regulatory requirements and evolving cybersecurity standards are increasing the pressure to modernize existing cryptographic infrastructures.
Industries particularly affected include:
- Banking & Financial Services
- Government & Critical Infrastructure (KRITIS)
- Industrial & OT Environments
- Healthcare & Insurance
- Cloud & Data Center Providers
Risks of Outdated Cryptography
- Loss of long-term data confidentiality
- Vulnerable digital signatures
- Compliance and regulatory risks
- Lack of quantum readiness
- Increased future migration costs
PQC Migration with DARZ & MTG
DARZ and MTG AG combine secure data center infrastructure with advanced cryptographic technology to help organizations prepare systematically for the quantum era.
While DARZ provides highly secure infrastructure, cloud, and colocation environments, MTG has been integrating quantum-safe technologies directly into its ERS® platform since 2018.
