Crypto4A Recognized Across Five Gartner® Reports

Crypto4A is proud to be recognized in five separate 2025 Gartner Hype Cycle™ reports . We
believe this highlights our position as a leading provider of quantum-safe, crypto-agile hardware
security solutions.

Recognized in the Following 2025 Gartner Hype Cycle reports:
● Hype Cycle for Deep Technologies, 2025
● Hype Cycle for Enterprise Networking, 2025
● Hype Cycle for Data Security Technologies, 2025
● Hype Cycle for Digital Banking Transformation, 2025
● Hype Cycle for Local Government, 2025

“Gartner Hype Cycles provide a graphic representation of the maturity and adoption of
technologies and applications, and how they are potentially relevant to solving real business
problems and exploiting new opportunities.” Gartner also states that, “Each Hype Cycle drills
down into the five key phases of a technology’s life cycle.”

● “Innovation Trigger: A breakthrough or proof-of-concept that generates early interest.
● Peak of Inflated Expectations: Hype builds; often beyond what current solutions can
deliver.”
● “Trough of Disillusionment: Expectations dip as early implementations underperform;
only serious innovators continue.”
● “Slope of Enlightenment: Real-world use cases and second-generation solutions
emerge.”
● “Plateau of Productivity: Mainstream adoption drives measurable benefits.”
As stated by Gartner, “The accelerating pace of adoption in postquantum cryptography, driven
by NIST standardization of core techniques, is poised to improve cryptosecurity in early
adopters.”

The Critical Role of Crypto-Agility and Quantum-Safe Security

In today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape, crypto-agility and quantum-safe readiness are no
longer optional; they are foundational. Crypto-agility empowers organizations to seamlessly
transition between cryptographic algorithms in response to emerging threats or compliance
mandates, reducing operational disruption. Meanwhile, quantum-safe security is essential to
protect long-lived data and digital assets against the inevitable capabilities of quantum
computing. Together, these capabilities form the cornerstone of future-ready security
architectures and they are central to Crypto4A’s mission.

Crypto4A’s Response to the Call to Action
