01 / Area of Work

Cybersecurity & Cryptography

Modern security depends on understanding not only where vulnerabilities exist, but what depends on them, what evidence supports the assessment, and what changes when the environment evolves.

QuantumWorks develops technology across cryptographic modernization, continuous assurance, and autonomous cyber validation.

Technical approach

  • Post-quantum cryptographic discovery and migration
  • Mandate mapping: NSM-10, OMB M-23-02, CNSA 2.0
  • Cryptographic asset inventories and CBOM analysis
  • Crypto Asset Graph construction
  • Mission and HNDL-weighted risk scoring
  • Predictive migration failure detection
  • Continuous cyber control assessment
  • Evidence-backed control validation
  • Agentic cyber testing
  • Disconnected and hybrid environment security

Systems

Work in this area.

Sentinel

Prototype

Organizations cannot migrate cryptography they cannot see.

Sentinel builds a Crypto Asset Graph connecting cryptographic assets, software dependencies, systems, mandates, and mission functions. Migration stops being a spreadsheet exercise and becomes a dependency-aware plan whose failure modes are predicted before anything changes.

  • Crypto Asset Graph
  • CBOM · CycloneDX 1.6
  • HNDL Risk

CAM

Applied R&D

Compliance snapshots go stale the moment they are produced.

CAM is an R&D effort toward making security posture independently verifiable rather than asserted by dashboards. It converts fragmented security evidence into a continuously verifiable model connecting evidence, controls, assets, and risk.

  • Continuous Assurance
  • Evidence-Backed Validation
  • NIST SP 800-53
  • CMMC

AEGIS

Research

Security testing produces conclusions faster than it produces evidence.

AEGIS explores coordinated AI agents for cyber inspection and defensive validation. Agents gather evidence, test hypotheses, and validate controls while maintaining a traceable evidence chain for every conclusion, under human supervision.

  • Agentic Testing
  • Evidence Chains
  • Defensive Validation
  • Human Supervision
