Akeyless, creator of the unified secrets and machine identity platform, announced the implementation of advanced quantum-resilient encryption across its solution, becoming the first secrets management provider to deploy post-quantum protection.
As quantum computing advances rapidly, organizations face an immediate security challenge: sophisticated attackers are already harvesting encrypted data today with plans to decrypt it once quantum computers mature. This “harvest now, decrypt later” strategy threatens sensitive information across financial services, healthcare, and government sectors where data confidentiality requirements extend decades into the future.
“Organizations managing sensitive credentials and encryption keys face a critical timeline issue,” said Refael Angel, Co-founder and CTO at Akeyless. “The quantum threat isn’t theoretical, it’s actively evolving. Our solution ensures that encryption with our unified platform remains secure not just today, but well into the post-quantum era.”

The security enhancement is implemented within the Akeyless Gateway, with no changes required to the Akeyless environment configuration. Organizations can begin benefiting from this advanced protection once their client-side components support the necessary protocols.
Akeyless delivers a comprehensive approach to secrets management by addressing the complexity and cost associated with managing multiple fragmented solutions. The platform consolidates API keys, database credentials, certificates, encryption keys, and other secrets and non-human identities within one secure platform.
The quantum-resilient capability leverages hybrid TLS 1.3 encryption that combines X25519 elliptic-curve key exchange algorithm for current strong security and ML-KEM768 quantum-resistant algorithm selected by NIST for future protection.
