Cassian by Quantum Iryx Systems

Know your cryptographic landscape. Then run the migration.

Cassian is the operational control plane for cryptographic modernization. It helps organizations understand where cryptography lives across their estate, plan a post-quantum migration they can actually execute, and manage Isidore Quantum and other secure infrastructure over time.

Built for government agencies with mission systems and for commercial enterprises with large application estates, complex PKI and long-lived data.

Visibility gap
Most organizations can list their servers. Far fewer can say which applications still depend on RSA, which certificates matter, or which vendors control their migration path.
Migration is a program, not a patch
Replacing an algorithm across PKI, applications, devices and third parties takes years. It needs sequencing, ownership, validation and evidence.
Operational control
Secure infrastructure fails when management, visibility and response break down. Cassian is designed to keep secure systems operable.
The Problem

Cryptographic modernization fails in three ways.

You cannot migrate what you cannot see.

Conventional asset inventories list systems, not cryptography. Algorithms, certificates, keys, libraries and vendor dependencies stay invisible until something breaks.

Find RSA, replace RSA is not a plan.

Real migrations depend on business criticality, data longevity, PKI, application architecture, vendor readiness, maintenance windows and rollback. Without that context, prioritization is guesswork.

Secure systems still need to be run.

Distributed cryptographic infrastructure creates its own control problem: onboarding, configuration, firmware, telemetry, policy and response across environments that may be remote or disconnected.

The Quantum Iryx Approach

Discover. Plan. Migrate. Then keep it that way.

Post-quantum cryptography is the forcing function. Crypto-agility is the lasting capability. Cassian is built around a lifecycle, not a one-time assessment.

Control Plane

Cassian: the control plane

Cassian organizes cryptographic and device assets, gives teams context around risk and dependencies, coordinates policy and lifecycle actions, and maintains an auditable record of what changed.

Enforcement

Isidore Quantum: the enforcement layer

Isidore Quantum, developed by Forward Edge-AI, protects data in motion with post-quantum cryptography. Cassian is its management and control plane, turning individually secure appliances into a centrally visible, policy-governed fleet.

Cassian Platform

What Cassian is designed to do.

Cryptographic inventory with context

Bring cryptographic and device assets into one operational view, with the business, data and dependency context needed to act on them.

Migration planning and governance

Support prioritization, target-state planning, ownership and milestones for a multi-year post-quantum program.

Isidore fleet management

Provisioning, topology, lifecycle and policy operations for Isidore Quantum devices from a single control plane.

Telemetry and operational awareness

Health, status and event context for secure infrastructure, without weakening the cryptography that protects it.

Evidence and reporting

Track what changed, when, and by whom, and produce the evidence auditors and program offices ask for.

Deployment flexibility

Cloud, self-hosted, hybrid and air-gapped deployment patterns for connected and disconnected environments.

Architecture

From cryptographic visibility to enforceable operations.

Why Now

The post-quantum transition has moved from theory to execution.

01
Standards are final

NIST has published post-quantum standards (FIPS 203, 204 and 205). Vendors, protocols and regulators are moving on them.

02
Harvest now, decrypt later

Data captured today can be decrypted later. Systems protecting long-lived sensitive data are exposed now, not at some future date.

03
Migration takes years

Federal policy now sets planning and transition milestones. Large organizations, public or private, need years to discover dependencies, change PKI, test interoperability and govern the change.

Built Differently

Not a patch. Not a point solution. An operating model for crypto-agility.

Principle 01
Context over scanning

Finding an RSA certificate is useful. Knowing it protects a revenue-critical application with a 15-year confidentiality requirement and a vendor that cannot yet support an alternative is what lets you act.

Principle 02
Lifecycle over assessment

A migration is not a report. It is a program with owners, milestones, validation and evidence.

Principle 03
Enforcement stays where it belongs

Cassian manages and governs. Isidore Quantum enforces. Cassian never introduces a cryptographic bypass path.

Principle 04
Works where you work

Connected, self-hosted, hybrid or air-gapped.
