We’re excited to announce that Real Random has been recognized as a Cool Vendor in Data Security 2025 by Gartner in their report “Cool Vendors in Data Security 2025: Securing Your Data in the Age of GenAI and Quantum Computing.”(25 August 2025)

We believe, this recognition validates our core belief: as AI advances and quantum computing threatens traditional encryption, software-based randomness isn’t enough.

Why Hardware Entropy Matters

All cryptography depends on randomness. Most organizations rely on software pseudorandom generators that can introduce predictable patterns attackers can exploit. Real Random harvests true randomness from physical phenomena that are inherently unpredictable.

The Quantum Reality

Gartner notes that quantum computing represents “a partial turn away from purely digital, binary architectures. Because digital-only defenses no longer suffice, physical, nondigital components can play an important role in implementing data secrecy.”  When quantum computers break today’s encryption, organizations will need post-quantum cryptography (PQC). But PQC algorithms are only as strong as the randomness feeding them.

Real-World Applications

Our hardware-based approach addresses critical gaps:

• Cloud and Virtualized Environments: Where traditional entropy sources become depleted, leaving systems vulnerable
• Compliance Requirements: FIPS, PCI, and GDPR demand verifiable randomness with audit trails
• High-Stakes Use Cases: Financial services, gaming, and research institutions that cannot afford predictable outcomes

The Future is Physical

Gartner projects that “by 2030, 20% of data secrecy and encryption controls will integrate entropy or quantum properties derived from natural phenomena.” We’re proud to lead this transformation from purely digital to physics-based security.

Ready to Get Started?

Our entropy solutions are available as on-premises hardware or cloud API, making integration straightforward for any infrastructure.
