Certified Zero Trust & Quantum Security Architect (CZTQSA) Certification Program by Tonex
Certified Zero Trust & Quantum Security Architect CZTQSA empowers engineers and architects to design resilient architectures that merge continuous verification with quantum-era key management. You will learn to align Zero Trust controls with post-quantum cryptography and QKD to secure hybrid, multi-domain systems spanning enterprise, cloud, edge, and C5ISR.
This program elevates system assurance across contested environments and complex supply chains. The cybersecurity impact is immediate as architectures reduce breach blast radius, harden identity and data pathways, and sustain mission readiness under advanced threats. Strong cybersecurity posture emerges from cryptographic agility, disciplined segmentation, and provable key distribution without relying on perimeter trust.
Learning Objectives
- Build quantum-resistant Zero Trust reference architectures for enterprise to C5ISR.
- Engineer hybrid key distribution combining PQC, QKD, and legacy KMS.
- Implement AI-assisted key validation and anomaly detection in control planes.
- Orchestrate identity, micro-segmentation, and continuous verification across clouds.
- Map compliance and assurance evidence to mission and enterprise risk.
- Integrate observability and resilience testing into lifecycle governance.
- Understand measurable cybersecurity impact through reduced attack surface and verifiable cryptographic strength.
