Quantum Security Migration Lags, Forescout Launches 4D Platform to Bridge the Gap

Uneven Progress in Post-Quantum Encryption Adoption

Recent analysis by forescout highlights a significant disparity in global efforts to transition to post-quantum cryptography, raising compliance and cybersecurity concerns. Out of 186 million internet-accessible SSH servers, only 6% have adopted quantum-resistant encryption, while just over 20% of OpenSSH servers support these advanced protections. “Quantum computing is no longer a distant threat; it’s an imminent challenge to digital trust,” emphasized Barry Mainz, CEO of Forescout Technologies Inc. “Organizations must urgently prioritize post-quantum resilience across IT, OT, and IoT environments.”Between October 2024 and March 2025, adoption of ML-KEM—a NIST-certified post-quantum algorithm for SSH key exchange—surged by 554%, indicating rapid movement among early adopters. Nevertheless, nearly 75% of OpenSSH servers still run outdated versions (2015–2022) lacking quantum-safe capabilities, and less than 20% of TLS servers use the quantum-enabled TLS 1.3 protocol. According to Robert McNutt, Forescout’s chief strategy officer, “Detecting systems using outdated encryption is critical. Our patented technology uniquely identifies non-quantum-safe ciphers in real time, enabling risk-based mitigation and compliance.”

Fortinet Reveals: OT Security Maturity Mitigates Attacks as More CISOs Take the Lead in 2025

The convergence of IT and Operational Technology (OT) has pushed cybersecurity to the forefront. A 2025 Fortinet report reveals that 52% of organizations have now placed OT security under the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), up from 16% in 2022. As 80% more organizations are expected to follow this shift, OT cybersecurity is gaining increasing attention at the executive level.Rising Security MaturityThe report indicates that 81% of organizations now rate their OT security maturity at levels 3 or 4, reflecting a focus on continuous improvement. Higher maturity levels correlate with fewer intrusions.In fact, organizations at Level 4 maturity saw a 65% drop in intrusions compared to 46% for those at lower levels. As a result, operational disruptions caused by cyberattacks have also decreased, from 52% to 42% year-over-year.
