Company mission
To create the global standards and core technologies that power the security layer for 500 of the world's leading organisations.
Our take
Demand for quantum-ready solutions has been on the rise as companies seek to defend against the quantum security threat. PQShield is the only algorithm-agnostic cybersecurity company that demonstrates and delivers quantum-safe cryptography on chips, in applications, and in the cloud.
Setting the global standards for post-quantum cryptography, the company’s researchers, and advisory board co-designed and led the US National Institute of Standards and Technology’s six-year post-quantum standardisation project. Alongside a series of deals the company has made, including a licensing deal with Microchip Technology and a collaboration with Collins Aerospace to introduce its quantum-ready solutions to organisations across all sectors.
Previous funding has allowed PQShield to focus on continued R&D, furthering partnerships, widening its customer base, and recruiting new talent across the UK, the US, France, and the Netherlands. PQShield’s best-in-class solution has enormous market potential and has it set to remain a leader in post-quantum cryptography.
