Digital Trust Leader Recognized for Building Quantum-Ready PKI Solutions to Prepare for the Threat of Post-Quantum Computing
CLEVELAND, Ohio – June 3, 2025 – Keyfactor, the industry leader in digital trust for modern enterprises, today announced that it has been named a winner in the 2025 Fortress Cybersecurity Awards in the Cryptography category. This marks the fourth consecutive year Keyfactor’s groundbreaking public key infrastructure (PKI) and crypto-agility solutions have been recognized.
“This past year has signified a pivotal turning point in the race toward quantum resilience. As companies kickstart their post-quantum cryptography (PQC) migration journeys, Keyfactor has led the charge in safeguarding organizations from what is arguably the biggest cybersecurity threat in the modern era,” said Jordan Rackie, CEO, Keyfactor. “I am profoundly proud of the Keyfactor team who have taken this challenge head-on and built the most advanced and accessible tools on the market. Through their efforts, we have collectively upleveled quantum-ready PKI and signing solutions to help bolster organizations’ defenses in the quantum era.”
In today’s digital world, everything is connected, but nothing is trusted until it is verified. One of the biggest cybersecurity threats organization’s face today is quantum computers. With significant computing power, attackers will be armed with advanced resources that will eventually break the world’s current encryption algorithms, compromising PKI and making digital certificates and secure transactions vulnerable. To guide organizations through their migration journeys, in August 2024, NIST officially finalized three algorithms for post-quantum cryptography (PQC), giving companies the greenlight to transition away from traditional encryption methods vulnerable to quantum attacks.
To help organizations stay ahead of this threat, Keyfactor introduced major updates to its open-source solutions—Keyfactor EJBCA Enterprise and Keyfactor SignServer Enterprise—making them among the first to support the latest PQC algorithms selected by NIST. These updates mark a critical step toward quantum-safe security, empowering developers, engineers, and technology partners to begin testing PQC in real-world environments.
Keyfactor also built PQC Lab, a free SaaS-based version of its PKI platform, EJBCA Enterprise, that is pre-configured to issue quantum-resilient certificates in just minutes. The first-of-its-kind sandbox environment provides IT and security teams with an easy, low-cost way to explore and experiment with quantum-safe PKI—eliminating the complexity of setup and accelerating the path to quantum resilience.
The Fortress Cybersecurity Awards program honors the industry’s leading companies and professionals who are going beyond compliance to build and maintain secure systems and processes. Winners are selected based on innovation, measurable impact, and commitment to security best practices.
“The volume and complexity of threats facing organizations today is growing by the minute,” said Russ Fordyce, CEO of the Business Intelligence Group. “The winners of this year’s Fortress Cybersecurity Awards are not only keeping up—they’re setting the pace. We’re proud to honor Keyfactor for building systems and solutions that make us all more secure.”
