QuSecure Named as Global Product Leader in Post-Quantum Cryptography Industry by Frost & Sullivan

QuSecure Recognized with the 2024 Best Practices Product Leadership Award Over 12 Competing Post-Quantum Cryptography Solutions Based on Evaluation of Product Portfolio and Business Impact Criteria

SAN MATEO, Calif. — May 30, 2024 — QuSecure™, Inc., a leader in post-quantum cryptography (PQC), today announced it has been named as the Global Post-Quantum Cryptography Industry Product Leader by Frost & Sullivan as a result of in-depth research for Frost & Sullivan’s “Insights for CISOs: Post-Quantum Cryptography” report.

According to Frost & Sullivan, “PQC constitutes a paradigm shift for the cryptographic systems of the past decades, as well as to how cryptography is used and managed. However, with limited large-scale deployment and implementation to date, organizations need to prepare for potential vulnerabilities and operational complexities that the new algorithms will bring. Enabling full control in an agile and modular way, QuProtect allows organizations to refine their cryptography against such risks and for specific use cases. By offering ease of deployment, adaptability to new requirements, and flexibility of use in individual applications, QuSecure’s offering addresses current challenges and future needs.”

Frost & Sullivan noted the firm applies a rigorous analytical process to evaluate multiple nominees before determining the final award recipient. The process involves a detailed evaluation of best practices criteria across two dimensions for each nominated company. QuSecure’s QuProtect solution was named the industry’s product leader over 12 competing solutions based on a thorough evaluation of Product Portfolio Attributes (match to needs, reliability and quality, product/service value, positioning, design); and Business Impact (financial performance, customer acquisition, operational efficiency, growth potential, human capital).

Frost & Sullivan stated, “The idea behind the QuProtect platform echoes the successful approach of moving disparate networking devices to SD-WAN for simplifying and automating operations, improving performance and user experience, increasing agility, reducing costs, and eliminating errors. In a similar way, QuSecure’s cryptographic orchestration creates a new layer for cryptographic protocols and algorithms, enabling centralized management, monitoring, and immediate policy changes at scale. Owing to its easy deployment and configurations across devices and applications, QuProtect offers rapid upgrades of legacy infrastructure, interoperability, and policy-driven crypto-agility for current and future regulatory and compliance requirements.”

“We are honored to receive Frost & Sullivan’s 2024 Product Leadership Award for our QuProtect platform,” said Rebecca Krauthamer, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at QuSecure. “We built QuProtect to be a true long-term solution for real cybersecurity leaders managing real networks. This recognition further validates that leaders are looking for solutions to usher in this new era of software-defined cryptography, solving encryption upgrade cycles once and for all.”

Frost & Sullivan also stated, “Cryptography and crypto-agility will play a much bigger role for organizations in the future. In the context of PQC and beyond, QuSecure brings a disruptive approach to how cryptography is deployed and managed. Coupling full control with simplicity, the company’s offering uniquely positions itself in the ecosystem of cryptographic modernization. With the security vendor ecosystem upgrading to PQC in their offerings, QuProtect provides protection for organizations’ crown jewels today.”

QuSecure’s QuProtect software, available now for testing and deployment, offers a comprehensive, end-to-end quantum-security-as-a-service architecture that combines zero-trust, next-generation quantum-resilient technology and crypto-agility to protect networks, cloud systems, edge devices, and satellite communications against today’s cyberattacks and future quantum threats, all with minimal disruption to existing systems.
