FAQs & Sector Q&A

KAVACH-Q is a quantum-safe cybersecurity platform that helps organisations discover cryptographic risks, assess quantum exposure, prioritise vulnerable assets, plan migration, execute post-quantum upgrades, and maintain compliance.

Organisations rely on cryptographic algorithms such as RSA and ECC to protect sensitive information. Preparing early helps identify long-term cryptographic risks and enables a controlled transition toward quantum-safe security.

Harvest Now, Decrypt Later is a threat where attackers collect encrypted information today and store it with the intention of decrypting it later when sufficiently powerful quantum computers become available.

Post-Quantum Cryptography refers to cryptographic algorithms designed to remain secure against attacks from both classical and quantum computers.

KAVACH-Q follows a structured lifecycle: SCAN → QUEUE → SCORE → PLAN → EXECUTE → COMPLY. It discovers cryptographic assets, processes assessment workloads, evaluates quantum-related risk, builds migration plans, supports controlled execution, and maintains compliance visibility.

KAVACH-Q is designed to identify cryptographic usage across source code, TLS certificates, binaries, cryptographic libraries, Kubernetes secrets, and configuration files.

The Quantum Vulnerability Score helps organisations understand and prioritise cryptographic risk using a weighted combination of factors including cryptographic strength, exposure, and data sensitivity, adjusted for the operating environment and expected data lifespan.

Yes. KAVACH-Q is designed to complement existing enterprise security and technology environments while helping organisations introduce quantum-readiness into existing workflows.

KAVACH-Q is designed to handle assessment activities through controlled enterprise workflows, using cryptographic metadata and security findings for analysis while limiting unnecessary exposure of sensitive organisational information.

KAVACH-Q is designed for banking and financial services, government departments, critical infrastructure, large enterprises, security teams, compliance teams, and organisations that depend on long-term cryptographic security.

KAVACH-Q is designed to assess cryptographic usage across source code, TLS certificates, binaries, cryptographic libraries, Kubernetes secrets, and configuration files.

KAVACH-Q helps organisations identify vulnerable cryptographic assets, prioritise remediation, track migration progress, and maintain structured evidence that can support internal security and regulatory reviews.

KAVACH-Q is designed to complement existing enterprise security environments and support controlled deployment models where cryptographic assessment and migration activities can remain within organisational security boundaries.

Financial organisations often retain sensitive customer, financial, and transactional information for long periods. Long-lived encrypted information may require additional consideration when organisations prepare for future quantum threats.

KAVACH-Q is designed to complement enterprise security operations by providing cryptographic findings, risk information, migration status, and governance data that can be incorporated into existing monitoring workflows.

KAVACH-Q helps organisations discover existing cryptographic dependencies, evaluate their quantum-related risk, prioritise migration requirements, and manage the transition through a structured security lifecycle.

Citizen service portals, treasury applications, police systems, health systems, land and revenue records, digital certificates, and other systems containing sensitive or long-lived information may require cryptographic assessment and migration planning.

KAVACH-Q is designed for controlled deployment models where cryptographic assessment activities can operate within organisational infrastructure while sensitive information is handled under defined security controls.

KAVACH-Q can help departments discover cryptographic assets across supported application and infrastructure components, assess their quantum-related exposure, prioritise vulnerable systems, and create structured migration plans.

KAVACH-Q can help identify cryptographic dependencies, assess quantum exposure, prioritise high-risk assets, and support structured migration planning for sensitive and critical infrastructure environments.

KAVACH-Q is designed to support controlled deployment scenarios where systems may operate with restricted connectivity and organisational security boundaries must be preserved.

KAVACH-Q helps organisations identify cryptographic systems protecting long-retention information, assess their exposure to future quantum threats, and prioritise systems that may require migration to quantum-safe cryptography.

KAVACH-Q is designed to identify cryptographic usage across source code, TLS certificates, binaries, cryptographic libraries, Kubernetes secrets, and configuration files.

The asset moves through the KAVACH-Q lifecycle where it is scored, prioritised, planned for migration, handled through controlled execution workflows, and tracked for governance and compliance.

KAVACH-Q's roadmap aligns with modern post-quantum cryptographic standards including ML-KEM for key establishment and ML-DSA and SLH-DSA for digital signatures.

The Quantum Vulnerability Score helps prioritise discovered cryptographic assets using a weighted combination of risk factors, adjusted for operating environment and data lifespan.

KAVACH-Q is designed to maintain cryptographic findings, remediation status, migration evidence, compliance mappings, and audit information that can support regulatory and internal security reviews.

KAVACH-Q can provide cryptographic inventory, risk visibility, migration evidence, and governance information that can contribute to broader information-security and compliance activities.

KAVACH-Q provides structured visibility into cryptographic assets, identified risks, remediation progress, migration activity, and supporting evidence that can assist security and compliance teams during reviews.
