QuSecure, a Silicon Valley startup specializing in post-quantum cryptography (PQC), has successfully raised an additional $28 million in Series A funding.

This funding round was led by Two Bear Capital, with participation from Accenture Ventures, and is aimed at expanding quantum-resistant security technologies.

The urgency for quantum-safe encryption solutions has surged, particularly as the U.S. government mandates a shift to quantum-resistant cryptographic standards due to the potential obsolescence of traditional encryption methods.

Rebecca Krauthamer, co-founder of QuSecure, has been appointed as CEO, emphasizing the need for organizations to evolve their encryption management to enhance cybersecurity strategies.

QuSecure aims to provide 'orchestrated crypto agility,' which allows organizations to rapidly upgrade their cryptographic systems, a critical factor for maintaining robust cybersecurity.

The company's flagship product, QuProtect, facilitates the migration to PQC for organizations without necessitating a complete infrastructure overhaul, offering a software-based security architecture.

QuSecure's clientele includes the U.S. Army and Air Force, major telecommunications companies, financial institutions, and global cloud service providers, highlighting its broad market appeal.
