Forescout Launches Quantum Risk Dashboards Amid Growing PQC Urgency
Event summary
- Forescout launched Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Readiness and Encryption Hygiene Dashboards on June 24, 2026.
- 90% of SSH servers remain quantum-unsafe according to Forescout Research – Vedere Labs.
- IoMT devices show lowest PQC readiness at just 6%, highlighting critical infrastructure gaps.
- Dashboards correlate encryption risks with asset criticality and exposure for prioritized remediation.
The big picture
Forescout's dashboard launch responds to growing regulatory expectations for PQC readiness ahead of the 2030-2035 migration window. The product addresses critical gaps in IoT and OT environments where quantum-unsafe encryption remains pervasive, particularly as governments mandate earlier inventory and assessment phases. This positions cybersecurity vendors like Forescout as essential partners in managing emerging quantum threats across complex operational landscapes.
