“Invented by NSA experts and commercialized by Forward Edge-AI, Isidore Quantum® is a CNSA 2.0-compliant quantum-resistant encryption device designed for the toughest environments and critical operations ### Plug and Play Design Protocol Agnostic. Compatible with all networks and devices. Plug-and-play design eliminates complexity. Effortless, quantum-resistant encryption with unparalleled speed, cost efficiency, and resilience. ### Zero Trust by Default Isidore is zero trust by default, implementing self-isolating protocols that ensure no implicit trust is granted within or across systems. ### Artificial Intelligence Threat Detection and Response Self-healing capabilities adapt and learn from attacks ### Compact and Portable Compact Yet Powerful. Weighs just 0.2 pounds. Cost-Effective: It’s 60% more affordable than legacy systems that are not quantum ready. The Problem ## Ready for the Post Quantum Cryptography Threat? You Should be. The U.S. National Institutes of Science and Technology (NIST) initiated a Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC) program in 2016. The U.S. government is mandating their agencies to harden critical networks against quantum-computer vulnerabilities before 2027. Industry also will need to be doing this migration. The migration is not going to be easy or pain free. NIST estimates that perhaps 20 billion devices within the U.S. will need to be updated with Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), safeguarding 56% critical infrastructure organizations experienced a security breach in 2024 670 faster transition to Quantum-Resistant encryption with Isidore Quantum® $5.56% Million less cost to own and operate your infrastructure 20 Billion devices within the U.S. will need to be updated with Post-Quantum Cryptography  ## The Isidore Quantum Product Line Isidore 50 Power & Throughput 8W | Up to 50Mbps Weight & Dimensions 270g / 9.7oz | 135x78x27mm / 5.3x3x1in Download Datasheet  Isidore 480-SR Power & Throughput 5W | Up to 500Mbps Weight & Dimensions 315g / 11.1oz | 91x96x50mm / 3.6×3.8x2in Download Datasheet  Isidore 480-SC Power & Throughput 5W | Up to 500Mbps Weight & Dimensions 218g / 7.7oz | 91x96x25mm / 3.6×3.8x1in Download Datasheet Isidore 480 Power & Throughput 10W | Up to 500Mbps Weight & Dimensions 350g / 12.3oz | 170x100x26mm / 6.7×3.9x1in”
