HCLSoftware Partners With Tychon to Help Enterprises and U.S. Federal Agencies Get Ahead of Quantum Threats

Partnership expands HCL BigFix’s capabilities to deliver visibility into cryptographic assets and post-quantum readiness

SANTA CLARA, CA (February 11, 2026) - HCLSoftware, a global leader in enterprise software and the software division of HCLTech, today announced a partnership with Tychon, LLC, a software security company that develops advanced enterprise endpoint management technology. The partnership expands the capabilities of HCL BigFix, the company’s AI-powered platform for unified endpoint management and security, to deliver visibility into cryptographic assets and support post-quantum readiness.

This partnership delivers powerful cryptography visibility and a quantum-readiness toolkit directly into the hands of all BigFix customers, commercial and public sector alike. The solution empowers organizations to automatically discover, inventory, and assess the risk of cryptographic assets across their enterprise, enabling alignment with emerging guidance and mandates surrounding post-quantum cryptography (PQC).

With quantum computing on the horizon, organizations face urgent pressure to identify and mitigate cryptographic risks. The Tychon ACDI solution, now integrated into the BigFix platform, supports actionable readiness efforts by:

• Continuously inventorying cryptographic libraries, protocols, certificates, and algorithms.
• Identifying weak or non-compliant cryptographic implementations.
• Mapping cryptography to enterprise risk and system criticality.
• Enabling remediation aligned with NIST’s PQC Roadmap, OMB M-23-02, DHS CISA’s Quantum-Readiness guidance, Executive Orders 14028, NSM-10, and the recent Department of War memorandum.

The new solution, HCL BigFix Quantum Risk Analyzer, provides tailored support for customers across all sectors:

• Federal Agencies seeking to automate M-23-02 cryptography inventory and risk assessments as part of their zero-trust and FISMA compliance efforts.
• State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial (SLTT) governments and the education sector now face similar modernization mandates and funding incentives tied to cyber resilience.
• Commercial Enterprises are pursuing crypto-agility and long-term security posture improvements in preparation for post-quantum threats.

“We are pleased to partner with Tychon to deliver enterprise-grade quantum readiness at scale,” said Navin Sabharwal, Executive Vice President and Portfolio General Manager. “This collaboration advances our vision for unified endpoint management and security by providing critical cryptography discovery and risk visibility, helping organizations meet today’s compliance requirements while building resilience against future quantum-enabled threats.”

"This partnership validates the critical importance of proactive cryptographic hygiene,” said Aaron Faulkner, Co-Founder of Tychon. "We built ACDI to solve an urgent problem for national security and global enterprises alike—how to gain situational awareness of your cryptographic footprint at scale. Together with HCL BigFix, we’re making that capability and automation universally accessible.”
