The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has released an initial list of hardware and software product categories that support or are expected to support post-quantum cryptography (PQC) standards. This list aims to guide organizations in planning for PQC adoption and shaping technology investment strategies amid the rise of quantum computing. The release follows Executive Order 14306, issued in June 2025, which directed CISA to identify widely available products using PQC standards. The list, compiled in collaboration with the National Security Agency (NSA), will be regularly updated to reflect developments in quantum-resistant technologies.
