VANCOUVER – Baystreet.ca News Commentary – Machine identities now outnumber human identities by more than 80 to 1 across enterprise environments, and nearly 90% of organizations have already suffered an identity-centric breach[1]. Cybersecurity is no longer a line item but a structural constraint, with regulatory pressure, AI governance frameworks, and digital sovereignty requirements now operating as permanent design parameters for enterprise architecture[2]. Companies positioned at the intersection of AI security and cryptographic resilience are attracting significant attention, including Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. (CSE: QSE) (OTCQB: QSEGF) (FSE: VN8), Palo Alto Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: PANW), Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation (NYSE: BAH), Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), and Leidos Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: LDOS).
Enterprise technology leaders are prioritizing AI-augmented security, identity-centric zero trust, and platform convergence as three of the top ten infrastructure trends for 2026[3]. With global IT spending forecast to exceed $6.15 trillion this year, the capital flowing into security infrastructure reflects a market that has moved past awareness into execution[4].
Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. (CSE: QSE) (OTCQB: QSEGF) (FSE: VN8) just announced enhancements to its Quantum Preparedness Assessment (QPA) platform, designed to provide enterprises with structured visibility into post-quantum cryptographic readiness. With global standards bodies such as NIST advancing post-quantum cryptographic guidance and governments publishing migration roadmaps, organizations are increasingly evaluating long-term cryptographic risk exposure, including "harvest now, decrypt later" threats.
"Our objective is to give enterprises clarity," said Ted Carefoot, CEO of QSE. "Post-quantum transition requires structured planning. QPA provides measurable indicators and visibility to help organizations understand where they stand and how to prioritize next steps."
The enhanced QPA platform now features a post-quantum compliancy status dashboard, visual roadmap indicators outlining migration progression, risk indicators mapped to relevant compliance frameworks, and structured readiness scoring to support internal governance decision-making. The platform integrates alongside existing cybersecurity architectures through guided data input workflows combined with automated scoring and visualization tools.
This enhancement builds upon QSE's broader platform development initiatives, including the launch of its qREK quantum-resilient key SDK and recent enterprise deployments across financial and infrastructure sectors. QSE's broader platform includes entropy reinforcement tools, identity and authentication systems, and decentralized encrypted storage solutions.
QSE continues building international momentum at pace. The company recently renewed its enterprise agreement with The Muthoot Group in India, covering approximately 14,000 user licenses across one of the country's largest financial services organizations. QSE also entered South America with a three-year security agreement supporting three Brazilian government clients for approximately 4,500 user licenses.
QSE's membership in the Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries (CADSI) positioned the company within Canada's defence ecosystem before the company participated at the most recent World Defense Show 2026 in Saudi Arabia as part of the official Canadian Delegation.
The company's international reach also extends further through a strategic partnership with NUSA Networks and Porta Nusa for Indonesian market access, a CyberSecure Canada Level 2 Certification, and a distributor agreement with Enzo Plus spanning 300 channel partners in Southeast Asia.
With the global post-quantum cryptography market projected to reach $17.69 billion by 2034, QSE is building both the technology platform and the market education infrastructure to capture enterprise adoption as quantum threats accelerate.
