Google warns that quantum threats may arrive sooner than expected by 2029, while NIST has pushed organizations to begin urgent migration toward Post-Quantum Cryptography with milestones around 2030 and 2035. Hence, quantum security is no longer just a prediction, but a migration challenge that must be addressed now. There are a few platforms that clearly address this issue. That is why Onyx connects awareness, assessment, and mitigation in one platform for both individuals and organizations to be ready for the quantum era.

There is a threat known as ‘Harvest Now, Decrypt Later’ (HNDL), where sensitive data can be collected today and decrypted later once powerful quantum computers become available. This means the risk does not start only when quantum computers arrive. Preparation also takes time; organizations need to identify where vulnerable cryptography is used, understand which systems are exposed, and prioritize what matters. This is especially true for legacy IT and OT environments, where it is a multi-year proactive process to upgrade. Additionally, 48% of surveyed organizations are unprepared, as reported by Keyfactor in 2025. This shows that there is a clear readiness gap, and simultaneously, NIST’s transition guidance signals that widely used public-key algorithms such as RSA and ECC are moving toward deprecation around 2030 and disallowance by 2035.

Quantum risks do not only affect traditional IT. Critical infrastructure often includes OT and ICS environments that rely on legacy systems, long maintenance cycles, and protocols that are difficult to patch or replace. While many OT protocols do not include built-in encryption, cryptography still exists around OT through VPNs, TLS, certificates, remote access, data historians, engineering workstations, HMIs, gateways, and firmware updates. Onyx assesses both IT and OT exposure early so organizations can discover cryptographic dependencies, understand where defense-in-depth is needed, and plan post-quantum migration before quantum threats become urgent.

Yes, but a general AI agent depends on you knowing exactly what to ask. Thus, if you are unaware of quantum-security risks, you may miss important issues in your code, website, cryptography, OT environment, or migration plan. In fact, according to ISACA, 37% of organizations have not discussed quantum computing at all, while 24% do not know how their organization views it. This becomes even riskier with the rise of vibe coding, where code can be generated quickly without always considering long-term security risks. Onyx is built specifically for quantum readiness. It guides you through the areas that matter, identifies weak points, provides standards-aligned recommendations, and suggests practical mitigation steps with a clear migration timeline. Instead of starting from a blank prompt, you can simply upload source code, enter a website URL, or answer a structured set of questions. Onyx is also especially relevant for OT environments, where systems are safety-critical, legacy-heavy, and cannot be treated like normal software projects. It is also designed with privacy in mind, so assessments can be completed without sending raw code, website data, or assessment details to a general AI chatbot.

Our platform proposes a defense-in-depth approach that users can benefit from. We do not replace ML-KEM or ML-DSA, which are standardized post-quantum mechanisms for key exchange and digital signatures. In real systems, especially in legacy systems, IT and OT systems, migration to PQC is not easily supported because of performance, memory, bandwidth, and compatibility challenges. Hence, Onyx supports both modern and legacy IT and OT environments, by reducing exposure while preparing for full post-quantum migration.
