Ironclad Security Starts with QLAD QLAD protects sensitive workloads by securing Kubernetes pods at the source. No code rewrites. No infrastructure overhaul. Just cryptographic attestation, memory isolation, and quantum-ready encryption built to work with your architecture, not against it. QLAD makes workload-level security practical, scalable, and verifiable across modern infrastructure. In a world where sensitive data moves across clouds, containers, and collaborative environments, traditional security boundaries fall short. Confidential computing promises protection for data in use, but until now, adopting it at the workload level meant fragmented tools, Kubernetes workarounds, and trade-offs that slowed delivery. Follow us to see what ironclad data protection really looks like.
