The transition to post-quantum cryptography represents one of the most significant security shifts of the decade.

To address this challenge, OpenText has released Fortify SAST & DAST 25.4, introducing new capabilities that help organizations identify vulnerabilities and prepare for the impact of quantum computing.

Quantum Threat: A Real and Immediate Challenge

The algorithms that currently protect our digital information — RSA, DSA, and ECC — will become vulnerable under the power of quantum computers. The “harvest now, decrypt later” risk is already in motion: sensitive data can be collected today and decrypted in the future, compromising intellectual property, contracts, financial transactions, and strategic information.

The Global Movement

Progress in this field is both rapid and inevitable:

The NIST (USA) published the official post-quantum cryptography standards (FIPS 203, 204, and 205) in 2024.
Over 47% of HTTPS traffic already uses hybrid post-quantum protocols.
Platforms such as Java 24 and .NET 10 have introduced native support.
Governments have set mandatory targets by 2030 for critical sectors.

OpenText Fortify SAST & DAST 25.4: Innovation for a Secure Future

The latest version of Fortify enables security and development teams to anticipate quantum impact:

SAST 25.4 automatically detects quantum-vulnerable algorithms (RSA, DSA).
DAST 25.4 identifies servers lacking post-quantum hybrid TLS 1.3 support, including X25519MLKEM768.
Flexibility: findings can be presented as Informational or with severity levels adjusted to the organization’s maturity.

Strategic Value for Management

Creation of a comprehensive inventory of cryptography in use.
Robust validation of critical communications.
Regulatory readiness and preparation for future audits.
Strengthening of digital resilience and market trust.

Cybersafe supports organizations in their transition to a post-quantum future, combining technical expertise, innovation, and industry-leading cybersecurity solutions.
