SAIC acquires Information Security Corporation for post-quantum push

SAIC completed the acquisition of Information Security Corporation, a three-decade-old provider of public key infrastructure, encryption and credential management software. ISC's suite includes CertAgent, listed on the NSA's Commercial Solutions for Classified components list for more than a decade. SAIC CEO Jim Reagan called it a "strategic tuck-in" that pairs ISC's cryptographic technology with SAIC's zero-trust architecture work for intelligence and defense customers. Terms were not disclosed.

Why it matters: Post-quantum cryptography migration is becoming a mandated federal requirement, and integrators are buying the specialist capability rather than building it.
