QuSecure Earns Gold Award for Post-Quantum Cryptography Leadership from American Business Awards as Industry Shifts to Active Migration

Gold Stevie Award for Cybersecurity Company and Bronze Cybersecurity Solution Stevie Award Recognize QuSecure’s Crypto-agile Infrastructure Innovation in 24th Annual American Business Awards Program

SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As post-quantum cryptography shifts from long-term planning to near-term requirement following NIST standardization and new federal mandates, QuSecure™, Inc., today announced it has received industry recognition for its company success and crypto-agility platform, QuProtect R3. The company earned Gold and Bronze Stevie^® Awards in The 2026 American Business Awards^® Program, reflecting growing demand for solutions that enable organizations to upgrade cryptography without disrupting existing infrastructure.

The American Business Awards are the U.S. premier business awards program. All organizations operating in the U.S. are eligible to submit nominations. More than 3,700 nominations from individuals and organizations were submitted for consideration in a wide range of categories. More than 230 professionals worldwide participated in the judging process to select this year’s Stevie Award winners. Details about The American Business Awards and the list of 2026 Stevie winners are available at https://ABA.StevieAwards.com.

QuSecure was named the overall winner in the Cybersecurity – Small Company award category, and its QuProtect R3 solution was honored in the Cybersecurity Solution new product award category.

“Organizations across the United States continue to set a high standard for innovation and performance,” said Stevie Awards president Maggie Miller. “The breadth and quality of nominations submitted to The 2026 American Business Awards reflect a dynamic and competitive business environment, where organizations are finding new ways to drive growth, deliver value, and make an impact.”

The QuSecure recognition comes as post-quantum migration timelines compress toward 2029 targets, increasing pressures on organizations to move from planning to execution amid rising “store now, decrypt later” threats and new standards from NIST and CNSA 2.0.

“Being recognized by The American Business Awards validates what our customers are already experiencing,” said Rebecca Krauthamer, CEO and Co-founder of QuSecure. “Organizations do not have to choose between operational continuity and quantum-ready security. QuProtect R3 gives security teams a permanent control plane for cryptography so they can enforce policy, rotate algorithms, and meet compliance requirements from a single platform, without removing or replacing existing encryption or infrastructure.”

QuSecure has experienced unprecedented growth and today has the most crypto-agility deployments of any organization worldwide. QuSecure’s customer base spans U.S. defense agencies, leading financial institutions, global telecommunications and energy providers, and major cloud services companies.
