Patero

Patero is a United States-based quantum security company founded in 2020 that developed a network security solution reducing the exposed attack surface while encrypting data-in-motion with hybrid post-quantum encryption (hybrid-PQC). Patero’s hybrid-PQC solution enhances classical cryptosystems with quantum-resistant encryption algorithms selected by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The company’s approach combines current encryption standards with post-quantum cryptography for defense-in-depth protection against both classical and quantum computing threats. Patero is recognized as a key player in the global Post-Quantum Cryptography Market alongside NXP Semiconductor, Thales, AWS, IDEMIA, and Palo Alto Networks. The company provides enterprise network security solutions implementing NIST-approved PQC algorithms for securing data transmission across corporate networks, cloud environments, and hybrid infrastructure. Patero serves enterprises, government agencies, financial institutions, healthcare organizations, and telecommunications operators requiring quantum-safe data-in-motion encryption protecting against harvest now, decrypt later attacks.

2025 Developments: Development of quantum networking infrastructure and protocols continues in 2025. Research efforts focus on extending quantum communication range and reliability. Partnerships with telecommunications providers expand deployment opportunities.
