Accenture has made a strategic investment in QuSecure, a leader in post-quantum cybersecurity, to enhance protection against future quantum computing threats. QuSecure's QuProtect software provides end-to-end quantum-security-as-a-service, integrating zero-trust, quantum-resilient technologies, and crypto agility to secure networks, cloud systems, edge devices, and satellite communications without disrupting existing systems.

This partnership supports Accenture's goal to future-proof global networks, aligning with NIST’s post-quantum encryption standards. QuSecure enables organizations to adopt "crypto agility," facilitating seamless updates to encryption protocols across systems.

Previously, Accenture and QuSecure collaborated on a successful multi-orbit data communications test secured with post-quantum cryptography. Additionally, Banco Sabadell utilized QuSecure's technology in a joint project to explore post-quantum cryptographic integration, strengthening defenses against emerging quantum threats.

QuSecure will join Accenture Ventures’ Project Spotlight, offering access to Accenture’s expertise and client network to scale its technology solutions. Terms of the investment remain undisclosed.
