Crypto posture drifts. CONTINUUM sees it.
CONTINUUM is QubitOwl's Cryptographic Asset Discovery and Inventory platform. It gives security teams a complete, continuously updated picture of every certificate, key, and cipher in their environment — and flags the moment something changes.
Most migrations stall at the first step.
Before you can migrate to quantum-safe algorithms, you need a list of every cryptographic asset. You likely have thousands. They’re probably scattered across everything from servers to rogue devices communicating on your networks. And what’s configured at rest isn’t always what’s active in transit.
Manual discovery and inventory can take months or years.
Streamline the whole journey.
CONTINUUM identifies every asset across every environment, builds and maintains a continuous. CBOM (cryptographic bill of materials), intelligently prioritizes mitigation workflows, and gives you the tools and governance to act on what you find.
You get visibility in minutes and a full inventory in days.

Data in transit
FlowSight Sensor
FlowSight is a network sensor that fills in the gap between what's installed on a machine and what's being negotiated on the wire.
It passively monitors live traffic without decrypting it to extract TLS handshake metadata, cipher suites, protocol versions, and certificate details as they happen — at up to 5 Gbps.
Data at rest
CipherSight Agent
CipherSight is a lightweight agent that scans file systems across Windows, MacOS and Linux to discover certificates, SSH keys, encrypted volumes and more.
Deploy it at endpoints and servers. Point it at custom paths. Scan on demand or set a schedule. Results flow automatically into Continuum’s central inventory.
Data in use
PulseSight Collector
PulseSight collects native OS and mainframe telemetry to elevate FlowSight's device-level visibility to process-level attribution.
No endpoint agent is required. PulseSight receives telemetry forwarded by native OS mechanisms, tying every cryptographic session observed to the process, user, or job that created it.

Integrations & Imports
Every environment is different. Continuum allows you to easily integrate your existing tech stack, leveraging your existing technology investments for broader visibility and deployment flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) refers to encryption algorithms designed to withstand attacks from quantum computers. Today's most widely used encryption standards, RSA and ECC, will be completely broken by sufficiently powerful quantum computers. NIST finalized its PQC standards in 2024, making migration from vulnerable encryption an active compliance and security requirement, not a future consideration.
-
Harvest Now, Decrypt Later (HNDL) is an attack strategy in which adversaries collect encrypted data today and store it until quantum computing capability allows them to decrypt it. The attack doesn't require a quantum computer to execute, only to complete. Organizations protecting data with long-term sensitivity—like government records, financial data, intellectual property, and patient records—are already at risk regardless of where quantum computing currently stands.
-
Traditional cybersecurity tools monitor for active threats and manage current vulnerabilities. They weren't built to identify which cryptographic assets will fail in a post-quantum environment, map dependencies across systems, or prioritize a migration sequence. PQC readiness requires a purpose-built inventory and management layer specifically designed around NIST's finalized standards and the unique complexity of cryptographic migration.
-
Migration timelines vary significantly by organization, but most enterprises underestimate both the scope and the lead time required. The first challenge is knowing what you have, and a manual cryptographic inventory at enterprise scale typically takes six to twelve months on its own (CONTINUUM compresses that to days). From there, migration proceeds in prioritized phases based on data sensitivity, regulatory requirements, and system criticality. Starting with visibility is the only way to build a credible plan.
-
Federal agencies and their contractors are subject to migration mandates tied to NIST's finalized PQC standards, with compliance deadlines already in motion. For organizations outside direct federal mandate, regulatory pressure is building, particularly in financial services, healthcare, and critical infrastructure. Beyond compliance, organizations handling sensitive long-lived data face meaningful risk exposure regardless of current regulatory requirements. The question of whether migration is required is increasingly secondary to whether your organization can afford to wait.
