Constellation West & Patero: Boosting Federal Post-Quantum Security

Last Updated: September 26, 2025By

Securing the Future with Quantum-Ready Solutions

Constellation West, a renowned cybersecurity firm, has joined forces with Patero, a front-runner in post-quantum cryptography, to prepare federal agencies for the coming age of quantum computing. Announced on September 23, 2025, this partnership focuses on strengthening defenses against the potential upheaval quantum technology could bring to encryption.

Patero is well-versed in creating advanced solutions, employing its tools, PanoQoR for cryptographic inventory and CryptoQoR for risk evaluations, to assist in post-quantum cryptography (PQC) updates. In sync, these companies are preparing the federal sector for “Q-Day” — the moment quantum computers might crack current encryption standards.

Innovative Frameworks to Tackle Quantum Risks

Crick Waters, the CEO of Patero, highlighted the fusion of Patero’s cutting-edge technology with Constellation West’s esteemed reputation in military cybersecurity. “Our combined efforts will guide federal entities towards secure, quantum-resistant networks,” he said.

Michael Reingruber, Chief Revenue Officer at Constellation West, added, “Patero stood out due to its broad capabilities in inventory management and risk evaluation, making them the ideal partner.” This partnership introduces Q-COMET, a novel framework tailored for federal needs, integrating quantum solutions with deployment and compliance, bridging a gap in existing systems.

Together, these organizations aim to help federal clients catalog and assess cryptographic assets, map out vulnerabilities, and conform to crucial federal standards from NIST and NSA. The collaboration will minimize risks while ensuring seamless operations across both classified and unclassified systems.

By merging extensive mission knowledge with Patero’s groundbreaking technology, this alliance is poised to lead the way in ensuring post-quantum readiness, defending governmental operations amidst evolving technological threats.
