In brief: In the DACH region, only 8.5 percent of SSH servers are quantum-resistant; new Forescout dashboards enable CISOs to systematically assess and prioritize quantum migration backlogs.
A Forescout report reveals significant quantum-resistance gaps in the DACH region: only 8.5 percent of SSH servers meet post-quantum cryptography standards. New monitoring dashboards aim to help CISOs identify these security vulnerabilities and prioritize mitigation measures.
The Forescout report shows that in the DACH region, the vast majority of SSH infrastructure is not yet prepared for post-quantum cryptography (PQC). Currently, only 8.5 percent of surveyed SSH servers are equipped with quantum-resistant methods — a finding that is critical for organizations with regulatory requirements under NIS2.
Forescout has developed new dashboards for post-quantum cryptography readiness and encryption hygiene that make quantum risks visible and measurable. These tools enable CISOs to visualize crypto vulnerability across IT, OT, IoT and IoMT environments, quantify risk exposure, and set concrete modernization priorities.
For CISOs in practice, this means: organizations can systematically demonstrate their PQC readiness and document it in audit contexts (such as for NIS2 compliance). Making quantum risk measurable is a prerequisite for a prioritized, resource-efficient migration strategy to post-quantum-secure cryptographic methods.
