QuSecure Introduces Industry's First End-to-End Post-Quantum Cyber Security Solution
On May 19, post-quantum cybersecurity (PQC) company QuSecure™, Inc. launched its quantum orchestration platform QuProtect™—the industry’s first software-based end-to-end PQC solution that leverages Quantum secure channels to protect encrypted communications and data. With QuProtect, for the first time, businesses can leverage quantum technologies to prevent today's cyberattacks while protecting existing networks and preparing them for post-quantum cyber threats.
Prominent experts such as Arthur Herman, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute and director of the Quantum Alliance Initiative, believe that a cryptographically relevant quantum computer (CRQC), a quantum computer that can break current cryptography, will emerge within the next 3-5 years Additionally, attackers currently use a “steal now, decrypt later” (SNDL) strategy to collect global encrypted data: this data will be retroactively decrypted once CRQC is available.
Accordingly, on May 4, the White House mandated PQC compliance through a national security memorandum "promoting U.S. leadership in quantum computing while mitigating the risks of fragile cryptosystems"; in addition, the bipartisan Endless Frontiers Act ( The Endless Frontiers Act, which would create a Technology and Innovation Agency at the National Science Foundation with $100 billion in federal funding over five years to research emerging technologies such as quantum computing, specifically mentions the need for PQC.
QuProtect delivers post-quantum cryptography anytime, anywhere and on any device. Using an end-to-end quantum security-as-a-service (QSaaS) architecture, QuProtect addresses the most vulnerable aspects of the digital ecosystem, uniquely combining zero trust, next-generation post-quantum cryptography, quantum-strength keys, high availability, ease of deployment, and active defense into A comprehensive, interoperable cybersecurity suite. This end-to-end approach is designed around the data storage, communication and usage lifecycle.
"Quantum technologies have the potential to represent a platform shift, and platform shifts are unusual," said Laura Thomas, a former CIA base chief who is now vice president of corporate strategy at ColdQuanta, a quantum computing sensing company. will present enormous opportunities, but also strong disruptions in all areas, including national security and economic security. Enterprises should now evaluate post-quantum encryption solutions and plan what they will need to deploy these solutions on their networks resources and time. QuSecure plays a key role in protecting our networks from current classical and future quantum attacks in the future.”
In addition, on May 19, QuSecure also announced the official establishment of the company [1].

Skip Sanzeri, founder and chief operating officer of QuSecure, said: "Businesses have a responsibility to provide a high level of data security. We are facing the largest computer upgrade cycle in history, as all public key cryptography around the world needs to be upgraded to PQC. We The QuProtect solution gives enterprises a first-mover advantage as the industry accelerates toward a quantum future. QuProtect allows organizations and their customers to maintain the highest level of quantum-resilient security, responding to cyber threats with minimal disruption to existing systems ."
QuProtect protects any node on the network by creating secure quantum channels using NIST-approved quantum algorithms. Its technology is backward compatible and can convert back and forth from PQC to standard Transport Layer Security (TLS), ensuring interoperability with any network. No other company combines QuSecure's broad range of quantum and post-quantum technologies to provide secure, operational cybersecurity to protect organizations' networks from quantum threats. Unique differentiating advantages of QuProtect include [2]:
· Open source, end-to-end data protection for post-quantum on all platforms and networks. QuSecure secures communications and data from the cloud, servers, laptops to the edge and IoT. QuProtect uses a quantum random number generator (QRNG) to create quantum-resilient encryption keys, providing entropy throughout the network - the entropy of the network is important because true quantum randomness protects the system from vulnerabilities and attacks such as Pattern detection and cryptanalysis.
· QuProtect is easy to integrate and deploy, zero client installation, supports most platforms, can provide simple deployment, operation and management for existing equipment and systems, any existing platform running cryptography can be upgraded to PQC.
· QuSecure's solution also enables controlled phased deployments in the highest priority segments, enabling enterprises to audit and/or defer endpoints that do not require immediate upgrades: QuProtect allows for on-the-fly algorithm reselection, while NIST completes standardization of PQC algorithms , to achieve encryption flexibility.
· Continuous monitoring and attack resilience. QuProtect improves security through continuous anomaly monitoring, machine learning-powered attack detection, and proactive remediation.
According to the company, QuProtect is an industry-leading PQC solution that provides end-to-end quantum-resilience for many of today's key use cases, including satellite, network and IoT communications. QuProtect can be hosted on-premise or coordinated through the cloud to provide the most compatible solutions to post-quantum problems. Enterprises can deploy PQC on all devices on the network with minimal disruption to existing systems, preventing current and future classical and quantum attacks that would irreparably cause industry and infrastructure in government and commercial sectors destroy.
