Kyndryl today introduced its Quantum‑Safe Assessment service, a tool that scans an organization’s entire IT estate for cryptographic vulnerabilities and delivers a customized roadmap to transition to post‑quantum cryptography. The assessment covers critical systems such as payment gateways, customer databases, cloud infrastructure, and mainframe environments, enabling customers to identify and mitigate risks posed by emerging quantum computing capabilities.
The service operates by mapping an organization’s current cryptographic assets, evaluating their susceptibility to quantum attacks, and prioritizing remediation steps. By providing a step‑by‑step implementation plan, Kyndryl helps enterprises achieve quantum‑safe security while maintaining compliance with evolving data‑protection standards. The launch positions Kyndryl as a proactive partner in securing the next generation of digital infrastructure.
Kyndryl’s decision to launch this offering comes amid a period of strong financial performance. In Q2 FY2026, the company reported revenue of $3.7 billion, down 1% year‑over‑year, but pretax income rose to $98 million from a loss in the prior year. Signings grew, and hyperscaler‑related revenue reached $440 million, a 65% increase, underscoring the company’s focus on high‑margin, high‑growth services.
The quantum‑safe services market is projected to expand rapidly, with analysts estimating a multi‑billion‑dollar opportunity over the next decade. While competitors such as IBM and Microsoft are also developing quantum‑resilience solutions, Kyndryl’s deep expertise in managed services and its Bridge automation platform give it a distinct advantage in delivering integrated security and operational continuity to large enterprises.
Kyndryl’s new service aligns with its broader strategy of driving profitable growth through AI, digital transformation, and high‑value managed services. Management highlighted the growing awareness gap—only 4% of leaders believe quantum computing will have a major impact in the next three years—and emphasized the need for proactive security solutions. By expanding its quantum‑safe portfolio, Kyndryl strengthens its competitive moat, enhances customer retention, and creates cross‑selling opportunities across its consulting and automation offerings.
The launch signals Kyndryl’s commitment to staying ahead of emerging technology risks and expanding its high‑value service offerings, positioning the company to capture a growing market while reinforcing its role as a trusted infrastructure partner for mission‑critical clients.
