**Post-quantum readiness for the protocols your organisation runs on: TLS, SSH and, next, VPN. A deep scan of each,
a readiness level from L0 to L4, and one CycloneDX CBOM, self-hosted.** By [Offset Security](https://offsetsecurity.net/).
+> [!NOTE]
+> **Pre-release (`0.x`).** It works and is tested against real servers, but options and the API may still change

Recorded traffic is protected today only if the key exchange was post-quantum: NIST IR 8547 deprecates the
quantum-vulnerable algorithms after 2030 and disallows them after 2035, and anything harvested before then can be
decrypted later. CipherHorizon tells you which of your TLS endpoints and SSH servers are exposed, which machines carry
quantum-vulnerable cryptography, and what to fix first. It runs on your network and sends nothing anywhere.
