Quantum Readiness Begins Now

This report outlines Fortinet’s strategy for quantum-safe security, emphasizing four pillars: minimal performance impact via hardware acceleration (NP7 ASICs), crypto-agility using hybrid classical+PQC key exchange, strict adherence to NIST-standardized algorithms (e.g., ML-KEM and future HQC), and deployment flexibility spanning software-based PQC and hardware-dependent QKD (ETSI GS QKD 014) for high-assurance links. It positions quantum readiness as a platform capability across Fortinet’s portfolio to enable phased, interoperable adoption without degrading network performance.
