DigiCert Rolls Out Quantum Central to Move Organizations from PQC Planning to Trackable Action

Quantum Central, part of DigiCert ONE, centralizes cryptographic inventory, applies policies, automates remediation workflows and provides reporting to help enterprises manage the multiyear shift to post-quantum cryptography.

Useful takeaways from this story.

The platform converts findings into assignable remediation workflows and integrates with tools such as Jira and DigiCert Trust Lifecycle Manager to take corrective action.

DigiCert cites its 2026 Quantum Readiness Outlook: 87% of organizations are planning, testing or implementing PQC work, but only 7% have deployed quantum-safe or hybrid cryptography.

Quantum Central includes policy evaluation, dashboards for progress tracking, API-based imports, and an inventory-aware AI assistant to help interpret findings.

What happened

DigiCert announced general availability of DigiCert Quantum Central, a management layer in the DigiCert ONE platform aimed at operationalizing post-quantum cryptography (PQC) readiness. The product moved out of preview in July and now offers expanded capabilities to help organizations turn cryptographic discovery into prioritized, trackable remediation work.

Why it matters

Many organizations are planning PQC work but few have deployed quantum-safe cryptography. DigiCert's 2026 Quantum Readiness Outlook found that 87% of organizations are planning, testing, or implementing PQC initiatives while only 7% have deployed quantum-safe or hybrid cryptography. Quantum Central targets the operational gap between visibility and execution by combining inventory, policy, remediation workflows, and reporting in one place.

Central does

  • Translates findings into recommended remediation actions and creates change requests through established workflows, including integrations with Jira.
  • Provides dashboards to track remediation status, policy compliance, and overall cryptographic posture, and supports exporting inventory data as cryptographic bills of materials for audits and assessments.
  • Supports API-based data imports to connect external systems and continue expanding inventory as readiness programs mature.
  • Includes an inventory-aware AI assistant to help teams interpret findings and identify practical next steps.

How DigiCert positions the product

Kevin Hilscher, Senior Director of Product Management at DigiCert, said: "Quantum Central turns cryptographic visibility into a prioritized and trackable readiness program. Teams can begin with a critical environment, act on what they find and expand over time, while giving leadership, auditors and regulators clear evidence of progress." The announcement frames Quantum Central as the management layer for enterprise quantum readiness and notes it spans cryptographic use cases beyond PKI.

IDC Research Director Jennifer Glenn is quoted describing the need for an operational model: tying inventory, workflows, and reporting to policy "gives organizations a practical operating model for the complex, multiyear transition to quantum-safe cryptography."

Practical next steps suggested in the release

The release recommends an incremental approach: assign accountable owners, establish enough cryptographic visibility to set priorities, adopt PQC where supported, and document results. Teams can start with a critical application or infrastructure layer and expand rather than waiting for a full enterprise inventory.

Availability and trial

DigiCert Quantum Central is available now. Organizations can start a free trial, request a demo, or contact DigiCert for enterprise deployment discussions.

Bottom line

Quantum Central packages discovery, policy enforcement, remediation orchestration, and reporting into a single platform intended to help organizations move beyond planning toward measurable PQC readiness. The product targets enterprises that need to coordinate action across legacy systems, fragmented data sources, and multiple technology owners while tracking progress for leadership and auditors.
