About QubitOwl
Visibility has always been our problem to solve.
QubitOwl was built by the team behind Braintrace, whose Network Detection and Response (NDR) technology Sophos acquired in 2021 — it underpins Sophos XDR and MDR today.
That technology was grounded in high-performance deep packet inspection: analyzing encrypted network traffic at wire speed, across enterprise environments, without decrypting a single packet.
The same engineering now powers CONTINUUM. We've adapted it to discover cryptographic assets across your environment, then assess their posture and quantum readiness.

The transition to post-quantum cryptography isn’t a future problem. It’s an inventory problem.
And it’s already here.
Our Mission
Make every organization's cryptographic landscape visible — so the move to quantum-safe security is something you plan, not something that happens to you.
