The funding will accelerate QIZ’s rapid growth, deepen product development, and expand the company’s presence in the market as enterprises prepare for one of the most significant cybersecurity transitions of the decade: the move from today’s vulnerable cryptographic infrastructure to quantum-safe security.

Quantum computing is reshaping the risk model behind the encryption that protects financial systems, communications, digital identity, cloud infrastructure, supply chains, and critical national infrastructure. The urgency is accelerating: Google, IBM, Palo Alto Networks and Gartner, have all warned that quantum computers could threaten current encryption systems as early as 2029, referred to as Q-Day. Combined with the long timelines required for enterprise migration, the message is clear: Q-Day is no longer a distant theoretical event, and waiting is no longer a viable strategy.

The challenge is here. Organizations must understand what cryptography they use, where it lives, who owns it, which business systems depend on it, and how to prioritize remediation. Sensitive data harvested today may be decrypted as soon as 2029, when quantum computers capable of breaking existing cryptography emerge, while the migration of complex cryptographic environments can take years.

QIZ was built to address exactly that challenge.

“Post-quantum readiness is quickly becoming a board-level cybersecurity and business priority,” said Ben Volkow, Co-Founder and CEO of QIZ Security. “Enterprises cannot migrate what they cannot see, and they cannot manage cryptographic risk through one-time assessments. QIZ gives organizations the continuous control layer they need to understand, govern, and modernize cryptography before Q-Day arrives.”

QIZ provides continuous cryptographic posture and PQC management across complex enterprise environments. QIZ accelerates the transition to quantum-safe security by enabling organizations to instantly discover cryptographic assets, model risks, and enforce remediation across their infrastructure, ensuring total crypto-agility.

QIZ is designed as an end-to-end operating layer for enterprise cryptography management across hybrid and complex environments.

QIZ was founded by industry veterans Ben Volkow, Lenny Ridel, and Dr. Itan Barmes, a team with deep experience across cybersecurity, enterprise, and post-quantum transformation. Barmes previously led the Global Quantum Cyber Readiness Team at Deloitte, where he worked with some of the world’s largest organizations on quantum-safe readiness and strategy.

“QIZ is attacking one of the most important and under-addressed cybersecurity problems of the coming decade,” said Amit Karp, Partner at Bessemer Venture Partners. “QIZ brings unique capabilities that can turn post-quantum readiness from strategy into execution.”

QIZ is rapidly emerging as an early leader in the Post Quantum category, with strong traction across financial services , telecommunications, healthcare, and critical infrastructure. The company is already working with some of the world’s largest brands, and is scaling quickly across product and go-to-market to meet accelerating demand.

The company is also building a strong ecosystem of strategic partnerships with leading technology and advisory organizations, including Cisco, AWS, Google, CrowdStrike, Deloitte, EY, and IBM, helping customers accelerate cryptographic discovery, risk assessment, governance, and post-quantum migration planning.

“Federal agencies and large enterprises need a practical path to crypto-agility, not just awareness of the quantum threat,” said Seth Spergel, Managing Partner at Merlin Ventures. “QIZ is well positioned to help regulated organizations move from cryptographic uncertainty to actionable readiness.”

The funding comes at a time when regulatory pressure and enterprise urgency around cryptographic modernization are accelerating. Frameworks and guidance such as CNSA 2.0, NIST PQC, DORA, NIS2, PCI DSS, and sector-specific requirements are pushing organizations to assess cryptographic exposure, build migration roadmaps, and establish long-term governance over their cryptographic estate.

“QIZ is entering the market at a pivotal moment,” said Dorit Dor, Co-Founder at Qbeat Ventures. “Its combination of deep technical expertise, clear market demand, and a highly execution-focused platform positions the company as a leader in the emerging PQC management category.”

“Cryptography is everywhere, but in most organizations it is not centrally governed,” said Dr. Itan Barmes, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of QIZ Security. “The post-quantum transition is forcing enterprises to confront that reality. Our mission is to give them the platform and operational path to become crypto-agile.”

Fusion reactions, if achieved, will produce near-infinite, free-scarbon energy. Yet, it will be necessary that the design of fusion reactors is capable of providing materials that not only resist high levels of heat and plasma exposure but also intense neutron radiation for very long operational lifetimes. Predicting how different atomic structures will behave or degrade under such conditions has generally been beyond the reach of classical computers due to the exponential complexity of the quantum-mechanical interaction.

“Discovering and validating materials that can survive the interior of a fusion reactor is one of the greatest engineering challenges of our time,” said a senior research representative from Oak Ridge National Laboratory. “By partnering with IBM and Cleveland Clinic, we have shown that quantum computing has matured to a level where it can begin tackling these highly complex atomic simulations, accelerating our timeline toward commercial fusion energy.”

The introduction of RC2 arrives amid tightening global post-quantum cryptography (PQC) compliance deadlines. Strategic security frameworks, including the U.S. National Security Agency’s Commercial National Security Algorithm (CNSA) 2.0 mandate, are moving rapidly toward requiring quantum-resistant networking for infrastructure acquisitions.

ZeroTier Quantum addresses these strict operational needs by allowing defense agencies, critical infrastructure providers, and cloud enterprises to embed post-quantum resilience directly into existing network routing layers without forcing expensive, disruptive hardware overhauls.

“Reaching our final release candidate milestone brings us to the precipice of a new era in network security,” said Andrew Gault, CEO of ZeroTier. “ZeroTier Quantum isn’t an incremental update; it’s a fundamental paradigm shift. We have engineered a platform that eliminates the false choice between absolute security and high network performance, allowing modern distributed enterprises to defend their data pipelines from quantum vectors today.”

Mitigating ‘Harvest Now, Decrypt Later’ Threats Natively

A primary driver behind the platform’s development is the escalation of “harvest now, decrypt later” tactics by sophisticated adversaries. In these scenarios, bad actors intercept and store encrypted high-value enterprise traffic today with the explicit intent of processing it through cryptanalytically relevant quantum computers (CRQCs) once the hardware matures.

ZeroTier Quantum neutralizes this vulnerability by replacing aging VPN and TLS structures with a memory-safe protocol architecture built from the ground up in Rust. The platform utilizes the ZeroTier Protocol (ZTP) to distribute a highly optimized, hybrid cryptographic stack:

Hybrid Cryptographic Pairing: Blends NIST-standardized ML-KEM-1024 quantum-resistant encryption algorithms with classical, pressure-tested AES-384 public-key infrastructure to create an immediate transitional safety net.

Decentralized Control Plane: Fully isolates the network configuration layer from active data streams. Node configurations are cryptographically signed by an orchestrator that can operate in an entirely air-gapped environment.

Peer-to-Peer Mesh Architecture: Establishes direct, authenticated node-to-node pathways to automatically traverse complex NAT boundaries, eliminating centralized routing bottlenecks.

Comprehensive Standard Compliance: Enforces robust defense-in-depth protection across distributed edge locations to comply cleanly with upcoming FIPS and CNSA 2.0 parameters.

Achieving High-Throughput Performance on Limited Compute

Historically, retrofitting legacy networking protocols with advanced post-quantum encryption caused significant operational drag, spiking processor usage and introducing severe network latency. ZeroTier Quantum overcomes this computational hurdle through advanced hardware cryptographic acceleration and highly parallelized data transport layers.

The software overlay achieves a 30% reduction in baseline CPU utilization compared to traditional software-defined networking setups. Combined with a lightweight memory control plane and adaptive packet buffering, the platform maintains near-wire throughput speeds of up to 10 Gbps.

This footprint allows organizations to scale quantum defenses effortlessly across memory-constrained Internet of Things (IoT) hardware, remote drone fleets, and edge manufacturing nodes that cannot run heavy legacy agents.

“Our strategy has been clear and the marketplace traction we’re seeing with ZeroTier Quantum in its core configuration ahead of GA has been brisk,” said Robert Stevenson, CCO at ZeroTier. “Our securing commercial and proof-of-concept relationships across defense, enterprise cloud, and critical infrastructure proves that quantum-resilience is no longer a theoretical concern. It’s an operational requirement.”

Following the RC2 deployment, ZeroTier’s technical roadmap includes completing a rigorous, independent third-party code validation and external penetration test to prepare the software for its formal commercial GA launch later this year.

The enterprise evaluation program is active, and ZeroTier is inviting select corporate infrastructure partners to participate in final validation testing. Systems engineers, network operations directors, and chief information security officers can access API guides, explore topological layout models, and request a technical system demonstration by visiting ZeroTier’s official quantum intelligence portal.

The announcement comes as IQM prepares for its planned Nasdaq listing via a merger with Real Asset Acquisition Corp. This milestone advances a foundational pillar of IQM’s technical roadmap, which targets large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computing by 2030 and a path to scaling up to one million qubits.

Overcoming the Qubit Overhead Bottleneck on Flat Grid Layouts

Quantum systems are inherently sensitive to environmental noise and hardware imperfections. To achieve true quantum advantage, physical qubits must be bundled into “logical qubits” that repeatedly detect and correct errors throughout a computation. However, high-performance Quantum Low-Density Parity-Check (qLDPC) codes historically demanded complex, non-local check connectivity grids. These structures are impossible to permanently etch onto a flat, two-dimensional chip layout without overlapping routing lines, previously forcing manufacturers to look toward expensive 3D vertical wiring or long-range couplers.

Directional tile codes resolve this structural tension by compiling required stabilizer interactions into a dynamic, time-ordered sequence called a directional word. Rather than remaining stationary, check qubits utilize the intrinsic swap behavior of native iSWAP gates to travel dynamically across a uniform, square grid—moving North, East, South, and West to execute localized exchange sequences with data qubits. This native hardware orchestration allows the system to run highly efficient error-correcting codes while preserving a uniform, constant-depth syndrome extraction cycle regardless of the total code block scale.

The technical findings published in detail on arXiv demonstrate that directional tile codes, such as the compact [[323, 14, 15]] code variant, yield massive architectural efficiencies:

1,000x Error Reduction: Drops the per-logical, per-round error rate by three orders of magnitude relative to standard rotated surface-code memories of equivalent block capacities.

Minimal Hardware Footprint: Achieves state-of-the-art error suppression at a footprint of roughly 30 total circuit qubits per logical qubit, evaluated under a realistic physical error rate of 0.001.

Automated Leakage Suppression: Naturally swaps the physical roles of data and check qubits at the end of each verification loop. This dynamic layout flushes out accumulated out-of-bounds energy states, preventing leakage noise from propagating across the processor.

Proactive Hardware Co-Design for Utility-Scale Deployments

“Quantum error-correction codes should not only be highly efficient; they should also be implementable on scalable and manufacturable hardware architectures. A close co-design of quantum error correction and hardware is a central element of IQM’s strategy,” said Dr. Inés de Vega, Chief Scientist of IQM Quantum Computers. “Directional tile codes represent a breakthrough in this direction, delivering up to a 1,000-fold reduction in logical error rates on near-term-sized IQM Crystal hardware while relying only on practical nearest-neighbour connectivity. This is a significant step toward scalable fault-tolerant quantum computing.”

We have been working on tile codes since 2025, as they are promising candidates due to their local checks, great parameters, and the many ways that exist to perform logical computation with them without adding connectivity requirements,” added Dr. Vincent Steffan, Senior Quantum Error-Correction Engineer at IQM Quantum Computers. “The key innovation of directional tile codes is that we are using dynamic syndrome extraction circuits to implement them on a square grid.”

The ability to implement these improvements on standard square qubit architectures makes directional tile codes directly relevant to IQM’s near-term hardware line, including the recently announced IQM Halocene product line engineered for QEC development. By establishing a commercial roadmap built for the practical realities of superconducting qubit manufacturing rather than ideal laboratory conditions, IQM continues to lead the industrial scaling of fault-tolerant quantum computing. Complete scientific data, hardware parameters, and corporate roadmap timelines can be reviewed through the official IQM Press Center.
