Cyber Defense Magazine names QuSecure most innovative in quantum security

QuSecure received the Top InfoSec Innovator Award as the Most Innovative Quantum Cybersecurity Company of 2026 from Cyber Defense Magazine, a program now in its 14th year. The recognition highlights QuSecure’s QuProtect R3 platform, which remediates vulnerable cryptography using low-touch fixes to the TLS 1.3 protocol and the ML-KEM cryptographic algorithm. “QuSecure embodies three major features we judges look for,” said Gary S. Miliefsky, Publisher of Cyber Defense Magazine, “understanding tomorrow’s threats today, providing a cost-effective solution, and innovating in unexpected ways.” QuSecure’s Crypto-agile Control Plane Addresses Vulnerable Cryptography QuProtect R3 offers a cryptographic command and control platform designed for rapid remediation of vulnerable systems, specifically targeting Transport Layer Security 1.3 implementations. Unlike traditional overhauls, the platform employs “low-touch” fixes, minimizing disruption and associated costs for organizations facing escalating quantum threats. Rebecca Krauthamer, CEO and Co-founder of QuSecure, explains that security teams often lack the time to fully assess vulnerabilities before implementing solutions and cannot afford extensive system replacements. The platform’s remediation relies on the ML-KEM cryptographic algorithm, providing a concrete technological foundation for its security enhancements. QuProtect R3 extends beyond simple patching by delivering continuous cryptographic inventory, automated certificate rotation, and ongoing compliance evidence. This comprehensive approach allows organizations to enforce cryptographic policies, adapt to evolving standards and maintain a robust security posture. QuProtect R3 gives them a control plane for cryptography, Krauthamer said, enabling policy enforcement, algorithm rotation and compliance adherence from initial deployment. QuSecure plans to showcase its QuProtect R3 platform at CyberDefenseCon 2026 this week, demonstrating its capabilities to a wider audience. QuSecure embodies three major features we judges look for with the potential to become winners: understanding tomorrow’s threats today, providing a cost-effective solution, and innovating in unexpected ways that can help mitigate cyber risk and get one step ahead of the next breach.

Tags: Ivy Delaney Ivy Delaney has been working with neural networks and machine learning since the mid-nineties, back when a couple of hidden layers and a long afternoon of training counted as ambitious. She has watched the field go from academic curiosity to the thing quietly running underneath everything, and she brings that long view to quantum computing.

For Quantum Zeitgeist she covers the ground where the two fields meet. That means quantum machine learning and the variational algorithms it leans on, and it also means the less glamorous but more interesting story of classical machine learning already doing real work inside quantum machines, decoding error-correcting codes, calibrating noisy hardware and learning the error models that simulators depend on. She writes about the hardware those algorithms have to run on too, and about the post-quantum cryptography scramble that the same hardware has set off. Her stories typically start with the paper, whether that is peer-reviewed work, conference proceedings or an arXiv preprint, with the source linked so you can hold a claim up against the research it came from. She is unimpressed by benchmarks that will not say what they beat, and by demonstrations that only work in the press release.
