Solution Name
NetApp Quantum-Resilient Cyber Security & Storage Platform
Solution Description
NetApp provides a secure, quantum-resilient intelligent data infrastructure platform designed to safeguard sensitive data against future quantum computing decrypting risks. The solution integrates Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) algorithms directly into the storage operating system, offering a proactive security framework rather than a reactive software patch. To mitigate the critical "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" threat—where malicious actors capture encrypted communication today to decrypt it when quantum computers mature—NetApp provides end-to-end cryptographic agility:
1. Data-in-Transit Protection: Implements quantum-resistant key exchanges over TLS/SSL-based communications to protect data as it moves across hybrid cloud environments.
2. Data-at-Rest Security: Enables secure long-term archiving and backups using quantum-safe architecture, ensuring multi-year or decades-long data protection and regulatory compliance.

Use Case
The target use case is protecting sensitive data against "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" (HNDL) vectors. This solution actively mitigates risks where bad actors capture encrypted data traffic today to decode it when public-key infrastructures (RSA/ECC) become vulnerable to quantum computers. By natively embedding NIST FIPS 140-3 post-quantum cryptography standard algorithms (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, and SL-H-DSA) directly into the primary storage layer, the solution guarantees the confidentiality and architectural integrity of multi-decade public records, sensitive citizen directories, and administrative API traffic without introducing multi-vendor software complications or system downtime.
