Summary of Funding Coverage

In a significant stride toward bolstering cybersecurity in the quantum computing era, QuSecure has successfully expanded its Series A funding to $28 million. This round was led by Two Bear Capital, with participation from Accenture Ventures, aiming to enhance product development, accelerate market initiatives, and broaden QuSecure’s reach across government, financial, and critical infrastructure sectors.

The rapid advancement of quantum computing presents both unprecedented opportunities and formidable challenges, particularly concerning data security. Quantum computers have the potential to render traditional encryption methods obsolete, posing risks to sensitive information worldwide. Recognizing this imminent threat, the U.S. government has issued mandates, including a recent executive order, to expedite the transition to quantum-resistant cryptographic standards.

QuSecure’s flagship product, QuProtect, offers a seamless migration path to post-quantum cryptography without necessitating an overhaul of existing infrastructure. This software-based security architecture overlays onto current networks, providing cryptographic agility and multi-layered protection. The company’s solutions have already been adopted by entities such as the U.S. Army and Air Force, major telecommunications firms, financial institutions, and global cloud service providers.

In tandem with the funding announcement, QuSecure has appointed co-founder Rebecca Krauthamer as Chief Executive Officer. With a background in artificial intelligence and quantum computing, Krauthamer is poised to lead the company through this pivotal phase of growth. She emphasizes the urgency of transitioning to quantum-safe cryptography, noting that 2025 marks a critical inflection point as enterprises move from research to active deployment of post-quantum solutions.

As the global quantum computing market is projected to exceed $125 billion by 2030, QuSecure stands at the forefront of delivering quantum-resilient cybersecurity solutions. The recent infusion of capital and strategic leadership appointments position the company to effectively address the escalating demand for robust, future-proof data security in an increasingly quantum world.
