AIC Fortifies Infrastructure Against Future Quantum Threats at RSAC 2026

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – March 24, 2026 – As the global cybersecurity community gathers for the RSA Conference, enterprise solutions provider AIC Inc. is showcasing a new class of secure infrastructure designed to combat not only today's threats but also those looming on the quantum horizon. The company is unveiling a suite of server and storage platforms that integrate next-generation, quantum-secure encryption while delivering the high performance required for AI-driven surveillance and stringent compliance mandates.

At its booth in the Moscone Center, AIC is demonstrating how it is proactively hardening the hardware layer against a future where quantum computers could render current encryption standards obsolete.

The Quantum Shield: Countering 'Harvest Now, Decrypt Later'

One of the most pressing, long-term threats discussed in cybersecurity circles is the "harvest now, decrypt later" (HNDL) attack. This insidious strategy involves malicious actors, often believed to be nation-states, siphoning and storing massive volumes of encrypted data today. While this data is currently safe behind algorithms like RSA and ECC, the expectation is that the arrival of fault-tolerant quantum computers within the next decade will provide the key to unlock it all. Sensitive information with long-term value—such as government secrets, financial records, and corporate intellectual property—is the primary target.

In response to this emerging threat, AIC is featuring its latest generation TB116 platform, which integrates technology from partner Qrypt to provide quantum-secure encryption. Rather than relying on cryptographic algorithms that may one day be broken, the solution focuses on the source of security: the encryption key itself. Qrypt's technology uses quantum entropy—true randomness derived from quantum phenomena—to generate high-entropy, unpredictable keys. This method allows secure keys to be generated at their destination without ever being transmitted across the network, effectively eliminating the risk of interception.

"As the risk of 'harvest now, decrypt later' attacks becomes more immediate, secure key generation has to move closer to the infrastructure layer," said Denis Mandich, CTO and Co-Founder of Qrypt, in a statement. "Qrypt uses quantum entropy to generate unpredictable keys at the source, while AIC provides a FIPS-compliant hardware platform that makes this capability deployable in security environments where both performance and compliance are critical."

This hardware-level integration represents a significant shift, embedding future-proof security directly into the backbone of an organization's IT infrastructure and offering a tangible defense against the looming quantum threat.

FIPS Compliance: The Bedrock of Enterprise Security

While preparing for future threats is crucial, AIC is also demonstrating its commitment to meeting the rigorous security demands of the present. The company's new platforms are designed to support FIPS-compliant deployments, a critical requirement for a vast and growing market.

FIPS, or the Federal Information Processing Standard, is a set of U.S. government standards for cryptographic modules. The latest iteration, FIPS 140-3, is mandatory for federal agencies and has become the de facto standard for regulated industries like finance, healthcare, and critical infrastructure. Achieving FIPS validation means a product's cryptographic functions have undergone extensive, independent testing by accredited labs to ensure they meet stringent security and integrity requirements.

For many organizations, the challenge lies in implementing FIPS-compliant solutions without sacrificing the performance needed for modern, data-intensive workloads like AI and real-time analytics. AIC aims to solve this dilemma by engineering its systems from the ground up to balance both needs.

"At RSA Conference, we're focused on the infrastructure that enables secure, real-time security operations," stated Michael Liang, President and CEO of AIC. "Our systems are designed to support FIPS-compliant deployments, AI-driven surveillance workloads, and integration with emerging quantum-secure encryption technologies."

By building on a FIPS-compliant foundation, AIC provides an assurance of security and regulatory adherence that is essential for government contractors, financial institutions, and any enterprise handling sensitive data, making the adoption of advanced technologies like AI and quantum security more accessible and secure.

Powering Intelligent Eyes at the Edge

Beyond the foundational security layers, AIC's showcase at RSAC 2026 highlights the powerful applications this secure infrastructure enables. The company is debuting a range of platforms specifically tailored for the booming markets of AI-driven surveillance and edge computing.

The global market for AI in video surveillance is projected to grow exponentially, reaching over $32 billion by 2033 as smart cities and enterprises seek to derive actionable intelligence from video feeds. This requires an infrastructure capable of ingesting and processing immense volumes of data in real time. To meet this demand, AIC is presenting several specialized systems:

• F2026-01-G5: A 2U high-density storage platform built to handle the massive data ingestion from large-scale video surveillance networks.
• RMC-2MS with Zelus accelerators: A GPU-enabled system designed to power the computationally intensive workloads of real-time AI analytics, such as facial recognition and object detection.
• EB202-CP: A compact edge system optimized for low-latency inference, allowing AI processing to happen closer to the data source—a critical component for applications requiring immediate response.
• 2U24 CMX: A flexible 2U system offering a mix of compute and storage, adaptable for various security deployments.

These platforms address the core challenges of modern security operations, providing the scalability, low latency, and processing power needed to transform surveillance from a passive recording tool into a proactive, intelligent system. By deploying these powerful AI capabilities on an infrastructure that is both FIPS-compliant and quantum-resistant, AIC is offering a holistic solution that secures data from its creation at the edge all the way through its long-term storage.

Attendees at RSA Conference can visit AIC at Booth N-4305 to see how the company is fusing next-generation security with high-performance computing to build the trusted infrastructure for the future of enterprise and government operations.
