PQC enabled on 45.2% of SSH hosts but only 39.9% of entities show any support.

Researchers analyzed PQC adoption in SSH using large-scale fingerprint data from 1.52 million hosts and 27,012 entities. PQC transition is polarized with 45.2% of SSH hosts on port 22 supporting PQC while 54.8% remain classical-only. At the entity level, 39.9% have enabled PQC on at least one host.

Key facts
  • PQC support at 45.2% for SSH hosts on port 22
  • 54.8% of hosts remain classical-only
  • 39.9% of entities enable PQC on at least one host
  • Correlates adoption with industry, geography, and organizational size
  • 27,012 entities analyzed across 1.52 million hosts
