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 led the US National Institute of Standards and Technology’s post-quantum standardisation project. This demonstrates the levels of experience and expertise that have built the organization, which allows it to operate at the front of the industry.
Supported by strong funding, PQShield has continued R&D, furthered partnerships and widened its customer base. The latest influx of capital will allow the company to deliver real-world, post-quantum hardware and software upgrades to help businesses keep up with the standards of today and tomorrow.
