Qryptonic LLC Unveils Leadership Behind Advanced Cybersecurity Technologies
Miami, FL, December 13, 2025 — Qryptonic LLC has announced the distinguished cadre of senior leaders and advisors instrumental in developing its Q-Scout cryptographic discovery platform, Q-Strike penetration testing service, Q-Solve advisory offerings, and the LLM26 orchestration model.
The LLM26 model is a sophisticated 70-billion-parameter system focused on quantum physics, cryptography, and cybersecurity, adept at designing Q-Strike test campaigns and interpreting findings from Q-Scout. The company plans to release research findings and product enhancements in the following weeks.
The Team Behind the Methodology
Nuclear Command and Strategic Systems
Lt. Gen. Mark E. Weatherington, USAF (Ret.), serves as the Chairman of Qryptonic’s Defence Innovation Council. His illustrious military career spanned 33 years, culminating in his role as Deputy Commander of the Air Force Global Strike Command.
He was responsible for overseeing the operations of America’s ICBM and bomber forces, where maintaining cryptographic integrity is paramount.
Federal Cyber and Critical Infrastructure
Dr David Mussington previously held the position of Executive Assistant Director for Infrastructure Security at CISA, overseeing a budget exceeding $200 million.
His tenure from 2021 to January 2025 involved spearheading resilience strategies across 16 critical infrastructure sectors. He is currently a Professor of the Practice at the University of Maryland School of Public Policy.
Karl Perman, an expert in critical-infrastructure security and author of numerous publications on NERC Critical Infrastructure Protection standards, ensures that findings from Q-Scout and Q-Strike are meticulously translated into audit-ready documentation for the power sector and other essential industries.
Intelligence Community
Garrett Melich devoted nearly 24 years to the Central Intelligence Agency, ascending to the role of Deputy Director for Cyber and Digital Policy, where he orchestrated cyber strategies across pivotal government agencies.
Brian Sample is a retired leader from the Senior Executive Service at the Defence Intelligence Agency, where he managed an extensive technology operations portfolio valued at $80 million, alongside a $50 million research and development initiative.
Enterprise Technology and Cloud
Isaura S. Gaeta, who retired from Intel Corporation after over 40 years, culminated her career as Vice President and General Manager of Security Research. She led the team responsible for hardware penetration testing and physical attack research across Intel’s product suite.
Peter Renner holds the position of Vice Chairman at Qryptonic and serves as Global Client CTO at Microsoft, where he advises major enterprise clients on Azure, Microsoft 365, and security architecture.
His decade-long experience in hyperscale cloud environments informs Q-Scout’s approach to cryptographic discovery within complex, multi-tenant frameworks.
Healthcare and Regulated Industries
Ian Schneller formerly held the position of Divisional Senior Vice President and CISO at Health Care Service Corporation, a powerhouse in U.S. health insurance, managing security for millions of member records, backed by a history of cyber roles within the Air Force and Department of Defence.
National Laboratories and Research
Eliot Jung, serving as Vice Chairman for Cybersecurity Strategy at Qryptonic, is also a noteworthy cybersecurity specialist at Brookhaven National Laboratory and an academic at Georgetown University, with an expansive background in national laboratory operations, financial-sector threat intelligence, and research.
“My career has revolved around environments where encryption failure equates to mission failure. It’s absolute,” stated Lt. Gen. Mark E. Weatherington. “At Qryptonic, we apply that imperative to enterprise systems, a reality many organisations remain blissfully ignorant of.”
“Four decades in semiconductors taught me that vulnerabilities lurk in overlooked areas,” remarked Isaura S. Gaeta. “Most cryptographic evaluations rarely penetrate below the application layer; our methodology goes deeper.”
“The imminent question isn’t if quantum disruption will revolutionise cybersecurity but whether organisations are equipped with a proactive strategy when that moment arrives,” asserted Dr David Mussington. “Qryptonic is diligently addressing that gap.”
Unlike many cryptographic assessments that only simulate quantum attacks, Qryptonic conducts these evaluations on live quantum hardware across various cloud platforms.
The Q-Strike platform enables simultaneous testing, revealing vulnerabilities often overlooked by traditional tools, successfully identifying over 300 significant cryptographic weaknesses within Fortune 500 settings.
Q-Scout delineates the specific domains where cryptography operates across cloud, data centre, and operational technology systems, while Q-Solve translates these findings into actionable migration roadmaps and board-ready strategies.
Meanwhile, the LLM26 model orchestrates test campaigns and deciphers results with remarkable precision.
Qryptonic substantiates its approach with Cryptographic Reliability Guarantees of up to $2,000,000 for qualified engagements.
The company operates from its headquarters in Miami, with a research facility located in Be’er Sheva, Israel, embodying the mission: Post-Quantum Ready, Permanently.
In the weeks ahead, Qryptonic will unveil findings from its 2025 enterprise cryptographic assessments and announce significant upgrades to its Q-Scout, Q-Strike, Q-Solve, and LLM26 platforms.
Expected research topics will encompass cryptographic visibility deficiencies, algorithm distribution within enterprise ecosystems, and quantum readiness metrics for boards and regulatory bodies.
