Indian cybersecurity company JISA Softech has unveiled QuLens + CryptoBind, an integrated quantum-safe cryptographic trust platform, at Pragati Q-Foundry 2026, held on September 29–30 at the Dr. Ambedkar International Centre in New Delhi. The platform combines cryptographic discovery, risk assessment, secure key management and hardware-backed protection to help organisations prepare their digital infrastructure for emerging quantum computing threats.
Described by the company as an Indigenous Quantum Cryptography Trust Platform, the solution brings together QuLens’ cryptographic visibility and governance capabilities with CryptoBind’s hardware and software security technologies. JISA Softech positions the integrated offering as an India-developed alternative for enterprises and government organisations seeking greater control over sensitive cryptographic infrastructure.
The unveiling took place during an event associated with the National Quantum Mission (NQM) and supported by the Department of Science and Technology (DST). The gathering brought together researchers, technology developers, startups, policymakers and industry representatives to advance India’s emerging quantum technology ecosystem.
QuLens and CryptoBind Bring Quantum-Safe Security Capabilities Together
The QuLens-CryptoBind platform addresses a growing challenge for organisations that rely on encryption to protect confidential information, financial transactions, digital identities and critical infrastructure.
Modern digital security depends heavily on cryptographic algorithms that protect information during storage and transmission. However, sufficiently powerful future quantum computers could potentially break widely deployed public-key cryptographic systems, including RSA and elliptic-curve cryptography.
JISA Softech has developed its integrated platform to help organisations understand their existing cryptographic infrastructure, identify vulnerabilities and prepare for migration to post-quantum cryptography (PQC).
According to the company’s official product communications, QuLens provides cryptographic discovery, risk assessment and governance capabilities. CryptoBind complements these functions through hardware-backed cryptographic protection, key management and supporting security infrastructure.
Together, the technologies create a framework that allows organisations to identify cryptographic risks and progressively implement stronger security controls.
QuLens Identifies Cryptographic Assets and Quantum Security Risks
An important component of the platform is QuLens’ Cryptographic Bill of Materials (CBOM), which helps organisations identify the cryptographic technologies operating across their digital infrastructure.
Large enterprises frequently use encryption across applications, servers, databases, communication networks and connected devices. Over time, these systems may incorporate different cryptographic algorithms, certificates and security libraries, making it difficult to determine which components require upgrades.
QuLens is designed to address this visibility problem by discovering cryptographic assets and associating them with relevant applications and infrastructure. Its CBOM capability helps organisations create an inventory of their cryptographic dependencies and assess potential exposure to future quantum attacks.
The company describes a four-stage operating model consisting of Discover, Correlate, Govern and Remediate. The process begins by identifying cryptographic components, followed by mapping their relationships, evaluating risks and establishing appropriate migration priorities.
This approach allows security teams to plan cryptographic upgrades systematically rather than attempt to replace existing systems without understanding their dependencies.
CryptoBind Provides Hardware-Backed Cryptographic Protection
CryptoBind contributes the hardware security capabilities required to protect sensitive cryptographic operations and encryption keys.
JISA Softech develops CryptoBind Hardware Security Modules (HSMs), which are specialised security systems designed to generate, store and manage cryptographic keys within protected computing environments. Such devices help prevent unauthorised access to critical security material used in digital transactions and authentication systems.
The company’s CryptoBind product family includes network-based HSM solutions, key management systems and secure storage technologies. Its official product information describes hardware-based security architectures designed for banking, government, cloud infrastructure and enterprise applications.
For the quantum-safe platform, JISA Softech has highlighted an FPGA-based architecture. Field-programmable gate arrays allow hardware logic to be configured for specialised computing operations, providing flexibility in implementing cryptographic functions.
This architecture could support future upgrades as post-quantum security algorithms and industry requirements evolve. However, the precise post-quantum algorithms implemented in the newly unveiled configuration, their performance characteristics and independent certification status have not been established in the publicly available launch details.
Post-Quantum Cryptography Supports Long-Term Data Security
The introduction of quantum-safe cybersecurity platforms comes as governments and technology companies prepare for the eventual development of quantum computers capable of threatening existing public-key encryption systems.
Conventional public-key cryptography relies on mathematical problems that are computationally difficult for classical computers. Quantum algorithms, particularly Shor’s algorithm, could solve some of these problems much more efficiently on sufficiently capable quantum computers.
This creates concerns about a threat commonly described as harvest now, decrypt later. Attackers could collect encrypted information today and attempt to decrypt it in the future when more powerful quantum computing systems become available.
Post-quantum cryptography addresses this challenge through cryptographic algorithms designed to resist attacks using both classical and quantum computers.
The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) finalised its first three principal post-quantum cryptography standards in August 2024. These include ML-KEM for key establishment and ML-DSA and SLH-DSA for digital signatures.
Organisations planning long-term cybersecurity upgrades increasingly need to evaluate their existing cryptographic systems against these emerging standards.
QuLens and CryptoBind are intended to support this transition by combining cryptographic inventory, risk assessment, secure key management and migration planning within an integrated platform.
Cryptographic Agility Allows Organisations to Adapt to Future Security Standards
A central objective of the integrated platform is to improve cryptographic agility, or the ability to replace and update cryptographic algorithms without redesigning an organisation’s entire technology infrastructure.
Many enterprise systems depend on encryption technologies embedded deep within software applications, hardware devices and communication protocols. Replacing vulnerable algorithms can therefore become a complex undertaking, particularly in organisations operating large or ageing technology networks.
QuLens is designed to identify these dependencies and help security teams prioritise upgrades. CryptoBind provides complementary infrastructure for implementing secure cryptographic operations and protecting sensitive keys.
JISA Softech describes its broader approach as a sequence of discovery, assessment, prioritisation, protection, migration and governance. This structure allows organisations to approach post-quantum security as a managed transition rather than a single software replacement.
Such capabilities are particularly relevant to financial institutions, telecommunications operators, government agencies and enterprises responsible for maintaining sensitive information over extended periods.
Indigenous Cryptographic Technology Supports India’s Digital Sovereignty
India’s expanding digital infrastructure creates growing demand for secure and reliable cryptographic technologies. Banking platforms, government databases, digital identity systems and industrial networks depend on encryption to protect information and authenticate transactions.
Domestic development of cryptographic hardware and security-management platforms can help Indian organisations diversify technology suppliers and maintain greater control over critical security infrastructure.
JISA Softech has positioned QuLens and CryptoBind within this objective, emphasising India-developed cryptographic capabilities and secure management of sensitive keys.
The company describes the integrated offering as India’s first sovereign quantum-safe cryptographic trust platform. This is a company claim rather than an independently established national ranking, and comparable offerings would require technical evaluation before such a distinction could be confirmed.
Cryptographic sovereignty also depends on factors beyond domestic ownership. Independent security assessments, transparent implementation of recognised standards, reliable key management and effective operational governance remain essential for protecting critical information.
The integrated platform represents an effort to address these requirements through an India-developed security architecture.
Pragati Q-Foundry 2026 Brings Together India’s Quantum Technology Ecosystem
The unveiling took place during Pragati Q-Foundry 2026, a national quantum technology collaboration event held under the National Quantum Mission framework.
Union Minister of State for Science and Technology Dr. Jitendra Singh addressed the gathering on September 30, highlighting the importance of participation by Indian industry, startups, researchers and investors in developing indigenous quantum technologies.
According to the Department of Science and Technology, the event aimed to strengthen cooperation between research institutions and commercial enterprises while supporting the translation of scientific research into deployable technologies.
The programme featured technology demonstrations, startup engagement, investor interactions and discussions on developing India’s quantum capabilities.
India’s National Quantum Mission, approved in April 2023 with an allocation of ₹6,003.65 crore for 2023–24 to 2030–31, supports research and development across quantum computing, quantum communication, quantum sensing and quantum materials.
The participation of companies developing quantum-safe security technologies reflects the growing commercial opportunities emerging around India’s quantum research ecosystem.
QuLens-CryptoBind Advances India’s Preparation for Quantum-Era Cybersecurity
The introduction of QuLens and CryptoBind demonstrates how Indian cybersecurity companies are responding to the emerging challenges associated with quantum computing.
Rather than focusing exclusively on encryption algorithms, the integrated platform addresses several stages of cryptographic security, including asset discovery, risk prioritisation, key protection, migration planning and governance.
Its practical value will depend on successful enterprise integration, verified implementation of post-quantum algorithms, independent security testing and demonstrated performance in operational environments.
For India, the development contributes to a broader effort to strengthen domestic capabilities in advanced cybersecurity and reduce dependence on externally controlled security infrastructure.
As the transition towards post-quantum cryptography gathers momentum, India-developed platforms such as QuLens and CryptoBind can support the modernisation of critical digital systems and help organisations prepare for the next generation of cybersecurity challenges.
