Accenture has announced a strategic investment, through Accenture Ventures, in post-quantum cybersecurity firm QuSecure to offer crypto agility solutions to help government agencies and the private sector counter emerging quantum risks.
Tom Patterson, emerging technology security lead at Accenture, said in a press release Wednesday, “Organizations need a reliable, quantum-resilient cybersecurity solution that not only adheres to the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s post-quantum encryption standards but that can be easily integrated across all parts of a communications network.”
“We’re investing in trusted providers like QuSecure to help our clients future-proof their global networks today to protect high-risk data faster,” Patterson added.
San Mateo, California-based QuSecure provides quantum protection for critical data. Its QuProtect software, an end-to-end quantum security-as-a-service architecture, works to protect networks, cloud systems, edge devices and satellite communications against cyberattacks and future quantum threats.
Rebecca Krauthamer, co-founder and CEO of QuSecure, said, “QuSecure and Accenture have a shared vision to provide organizations with a long-term solution to upgrade and manage their encryption standards.”
