SafeLogic Unveils SafeLogic CPM: A Comprehensive Cryptographic Posture Management Solution for the Transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography

Published

on

By

New solution delivers continuous cryptographic visibility, risk-based PQC migration planning and crypto-agile governance in a comprehensive modular platform

VIENNA, Va., July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — SafeLogic, a leading provider of cryptographic software, announced SafeLogic Cryptographic Posture Management (SafeLogic CPM™), a comprehensive modular platform that enables organizations to attain continuous visibility into their operational cryptography use, prioritize PQC migration efforts based on real business risk and contextual operational use context, execute remediation with SafeLogic’s FIPS 140 validated post-quantum cryptography, and attain policy driven crypto-agile governance of ongoing cryptographic use.

As governments and regulators worldwide move from planning to active PQC migration, organizations face a fundamental challenge: they cannot modernize cryptography they cannot see and understand.

SafeLogic Cryptographic Posture Management addresses this challenge by delivering continuous visibility into cryptographic assets and combining automated discovery, CBOM-based inventory, contextual risk prioritization and integrated remediation into a single platform. Rather than relying on one-time assessments, organizations gain continuous insight into evolving cryptographic risks as applications change, new code is deployed and threats emerge. By adding business context to cryptographic findings, SafeLogic CPM enables security teams to prioritize the most critical remediation efforts and accelerate their transition to quantum-resistant cryptography while maintaining crypto-agile governance.

This system allows organizations to move seamlessly from understanding where cryptography exists to replacing vulnerable implementations with validated quantum-resistant cryptography without stitching together multiple vendors or disconnected tools. Unlike traditional scanning tools that provide only isolated snapshots, SafeLogic CPM continuously discovers cryptography across the software lifecycle. The solution combines multiple discovery methods including CI/CD pipeline scanning, host-based analysis, network TLS discovery, and runtime telemetry to build a single correlated inventory of cryptographic assets.

Evgeny Gervis, CEO of SafeLogic, said: “The biggest obstacle to post-quantum migration is understanding where cryptography exists, determining what actually matters, and remediating it without disrupting operations. Paralysis by analysis that often comes from wading through noisy data from traditional cryptographic discovery tools is no longer an option.  The time to prioritize, remediate and govern cryptographic use is here and that is exactly what SafeLogic CPM does.”

Key capabilities of SafeLogic Cryptographic Posture Management include:

Continuous cryptographic discovery across application source code, cryptographic libraries, operating systems, certificates, TLS communications, and runtime execution. Layered agent and agentless sensors that provide comprehensive visibility throughout development, deployment, and production environments.A continuously updated, correlated cryptographic inventory exported as a standards-based CycloneDX CBOM for compliance and audit readiness.Business-aware prioritization that combines technical findings with operational context to identify the highest-risk assets first.Integrated remediation, enabling organizations to replace vulnerable cryptography with SafeLogic’s validated quantum-resistant implementations without disrupting existing software delivery processes.Policy-based governance that enables organizations to define approved cryptographic standards, continuously enforce compliance, and identify policy violations across the enterprise.Modular and flexible deployment that integrates with existing telemetry sources, discovery tools and reporting dashboards, enabling organizations to adopt their needed SafeLogic CPM capabilities while preserving their existing security investments.

SafeLogic’s more than fifteen years of leadership in developing, certifying, and delivering strong FIPS 140 validated cryptographic software across enterprise, cloud, mobile, embedded, IOT, to mainframe environments.  The company has also taken a leadership role with PQC standardization and adoption, with deep involvement in shaping government policy, including leading NIST NCCOE’s Cryptographic Visibility and Risk Based Management workstream.  This combination of deep cryptographic expertise and PQC leadership uniquely position SafeLogic to deliver a comprehensive approach to cryptographic posture management.

As organizations prepare for evolving requirements including NIST’s post-quantum standards, NSA’s CNSA 2.0 guidance, and increasing regulatory expectations worldwide, SafeLogic CPM provides a unified platform for continuous cryptographic discovery, risk-based prioritization and remediation enabling organizations to confidently manage their transition to quantum-resistant cryptography from assessment through deployment, while also uncovering and addressing existing cryptographic technical debt and enabling ongoing crypto-agile management of cryptography going forward.

SafeLogic Cryptographic Posture Management is available immediately. For more details, visit our blog.

New Unlock Survey: Homeowner Parents Face a Dual Caregiving Crisis

Published

on

By

41% are supporting both their children and their parents at the same time – and most aren’t clear how the home equity they’ve built could help.

TEMPE, Ariz., July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A new national survey* commissioned by Unlock, a leading provider of home equity agreements (HEAs), reveals that homeowners who are also parents are navigating a financial squeeze that goes well beyond the typical cost-of-living pressures. Caring simultaneously for children and aging parents – a dynamic coining the term “sandwich generation” – is forcing homeowners to make trade-offs with real, long-lasting consequences.

The squeeze is coming from both directions
The dual caregiving burden is hitting hard in both directions: a staggering 41% of homeowner parents are also financially supporting their own parents in some way, with roughly 4 in 10 saying summer childcare costs (42%) and school-year childcare (41%) are adding a significant financial burden. More than half (56%) say caregiving costs are affecting their long-term financial plans.

“Behind every statistic about the sandwich generation is a real person making painful tradeoffs,” said Michael Micheletti, chief communications and marketing officer at Unlock. “A parent who didn’t see a doctor this year. A family living with a leak they can’t afford to fix. A couple quietly closing the door on having another child. These aren’t data points; they’re what it looks like when financial pressures reshape people’s lives.

Today’s expenses, tomorrow’s trade-offs
More than seven in ten (71%) homeowner parents say today’s expenses are preventing them from building future wealth. That financial pressure is shaping major life decisions:

66% would send their children to a better school if they could afford it;66% believe paying for college will reduce their retirement savings;47% are delaying home repairs or improvements;43% have decided not to expand their families even though they’d like to.

Among homeowners without a mortgage, 30% still strongly agree that today’s expenses are holding them back from building wealth. That’s nearly as many as the 36% who still carry one, signaling that the culprit isn’t a monthly mortgage payment; it’s everything else.

The equity is there. So is the opportunity to explore it.
Yet American homeowners collectively hold nearly $35 trillion in home equity, averaging $274,000 for a typical U.S. homeowner – and many homeowner parents don’t realize they may be able to access it.

“There’s a significant gap between what homeowners have built and what they believe is available to them,” continued Micheletti. “Forty percent of the people we surveyed don’t know how much equity they have, and 39% don’t think they’d qualify for any option to tap into it. That’s worth talking about, regardless of what they ultimately decide to do with it.”

*METHODOLODY: Unlock commissioned Atomik Research to conduct an online survey of 1,500 homeowner parents of children throughout the United States from May 28 to June 1, 2026. The margin of error is ±2.5 percentage points at a 95% confidence level. Atomik Research, part of 4mediagroup, is a creative market research agency.

Home equity agreements are offered by Unlock Home Equity Solutions Inc. (NMLS# 2657081) in certain states: www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org. Visit Unlock.com/licenses for more information.
