Rebecca Krauthamer Featured in SecurityWeek on Microsoft’s Quantum Breakthrough

We’re excited to share that SecurityWeek has quoted QuSecure CEO and co-founder Rebecca Krauthamer in a recent article analyzing Microsoft’s quantum computing milestone, the Majorana 1 chip. This breakthrough in topological qubits could accelerate the timeline for scalable quantum computers—bringing both promise and urgent security concerns.

In the article, Rebecca Krauthamer highlights the Majorana 1’s impact on quantum computing:

“This architecture is the dark horse the quantum community has been rooting for. Microsoft has been working on this for nearly two decades. The announcement is one of the biggest quantum breakthroughs of the decade. Perhaps the biggest challenge in scaling quantum computing is making qubits stable enough to perform complex calculations with high fidelity,” she continues. “Microsoft’s Topological qubit inherently minimizes instability, helping pave the way for truly scalable quantum computers that can tackle real-world challenges.”

As the leader of QuSecure, a pioneer in post-quantum cryptography (PQC), Rebecca Krauthamer continues to shape the conversation on quantum security. She underscores how Microsoft’s topological qubits could reduce instability, making large-scale quantum computers a reality sooner than expected. However, this also accelerates the urgency for organizations to transition to quantum-resilient encryption.

With quantum computing advancements rapidly unfolding, businesses must prepare for the looming quantum threat to encryption. The ability of quantum computers to break classical cryptography is no longer a distant possibility—it’s a near-future reality. At QuSecure, we are actively working to ensure organizations can migrate to quantum-safe security solutions before it’s too late.

Rebecca Krauthamer: Stay Ahead of the Quantum Shift

As Rebecca Krauthamer emphasizes, the time to act is now. QuSecure’s post-quantum security solutions are designed to protect organizations from quantum threats before they become real-world risks.
