Constellation West and Patero Partner on Post-Quantum Readiness

Constellation West and Patero are partnering to help federal agencies prepare for the shift to quantum computing. The alliance combines Constellation West’s background in mission-critical cybersecurity and defense with Patero’s post-quantum cryptography tools, including its PanoQoR cryptographic inventory platform and CryptoQoR remediation solution. Together, the companies are offering agencies a practical path to secure sensitive systems before quantum computing threatens today’s encryption.

A centerpiece of the collaboration is Q-COMET, a framework Constellation West developed specifically for the federal sector. Q-COMET integrates solution development, deployment, compliance, and mission continuity into a single structure. This approach is meant to help agencies address post-quantum requirements in a way that aligns with existing operational needs.

Federal clients working with the two companies will be able to map their cryptographic assets, assess vulnerabilities, and prioritize migration paths in line with federal mandates such as NIST SP 800-227, NIST SP 1800-38, and NSA’s CNSA 2.0. The partnership also focuses on remediation while keeping mission systems available, and on continuous monitoring so that compliance evolves with the standards.

By uniting Constellation West’s federal mission expertise with Patero’s technology, the alliance delivers a clear route to post-quantum security. The aim is to help U.S. agencies move forward with confidence that their most critical operations will remain protected as the quantum era approaches.
