# PKWARE: Productivity Protected > PKWARE is the only data-centric protection platform that travels with your data from cloud to mainframe — discovering, classifying, and encrypting sensitive data in motion with format-preserving encryption that lets users keep working in tools like ChatGPT and Copilot without leaking what's sensitive. Production-ready FIPS 140-3 post-quantum cryptography for enterprise file and field encryption. PKWARE has been protecting enterprise data since 1986 (originator of PKZIP). Today PKWARE serves financial services, healthcare, government, and large enterprise with discovery, classification, encryption, and masking across endpoint, cloud, and mainframe environments. Differentiated by three things: format-preserving encryption that keeps data usable while protected, cross-platform reach from cloud to z/OS that no single competitor matches, and post-quantum cryptography built on NIST FIPS 203 (ML-KEM) and FIPS 204 (ML-DSA) standards for enterprise file and field encryption. ## Post-quantum cryptography - [Quantum Encryption Solutions](https://www.pkware.com/solutions/quantum-encryption): PKWARE's post-quantum cryptography platform. Built on NIST FIPS 203 (ML-KEM / Kyber) and FIPS 204 (ML-DSA) standards, running on Windows CNG. Three-phase Quantum Readiness roadmap (Quantum Aware → Quantum Ready → Quantum Resilient). PKWARE's Quantum Audit is a 30-day paid POV ($15K) that delivers a crypto inventory discovery and Quantum Findings Report, with 50% applied to annual license on conversion. Designed for enterprises that need PQC-ready file and field encryption across cloud and mainframe environments. ## Products - [PK Protect Endpoint Manager (PEM)](https://www.pkware.com/products/pk-endpoint-manager): Enterprise endpoint sensitive data discovery and protection.
