In plain English: The first EpochCore agent approved by IBM on watsonx Orchestrate. It finds the encryption that quantum computers will eventually break, scores the risk, and migrates you to quantum-safe standards.
Quantum Swarm defends against "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks — where data stolen today is decrypted once quantum computers mature. It maps your exposure and moves you to NIST post-quantum cryptography.
Capabilities
What you can ask it to do.
Each capability is available the moment you add Quantum Swarm to your watsonx Orchestrate workspace — just ask in plain language.
Encryption discovery
Finds RSA and ECDSA encryption in transit and at rest across your systems.
capability
Break-year risk scoring
Scores how soon each asset is at risk from quantum attack.
capability
PQC posture audit
Audits your readiness against NIST FIPS 203, 204 and 205.
capability
Quantum-safe key exchange
Migrates you to ML-KEM key exchange.
capability
Quantum-safe signatures
Moves your signing to ML-DSA signatures.
capability
Canary monitoring
Runs decoy wallets that detect when an attack threshold is crossed.
capability
Sealed findings
Every discovery and threat is sealed to a tamper-proof record.
capability
How to use it
Three steps in watsonx Orchestrate.
1
Add the agent
In watsonx Orchestrate, open the agent catalog and add Quantum Swarm to your workspace. No setup or code required.
2
Ask in plain language
Type what you need in the Orchestrate chat — Quantum Swarm picks the right capability automatically. No commands to memorize.
3
Get a sealed result
You get your answer plus a tamper-evident record you (or an auditor) can verify independently.
Example — type this in Orchestrate
"Scan our payment service and tell me what encryption is at risk from quantum attack."
What comes back — Returns an inventory of at-risk encryption with a break-year risk score and a migration path to quantum-safe standards.
