Company showcased QPrime and QREK as regulated industries prepare for a multi-year cybersecurity transition
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 9, 2026) - Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. (CSE: QSE) (OTCQB: QSEGF) (FSE: VN80) ("QSE" or the "Company"), a Canadian developer of post-quantum cybersecurity solutions, announces that it participated in a coordinated programme of UK government and industry engagements following an invitation from Quantum North. The programme connected QSE with defence, financial services and cybersecurity stakeholders, providing opportunities to demonstrate its technology and explore potential technical evaluations and integration partnerships in highly regulated markets.
The UK is entering a significant transition in cybersecurity preparedness. The National Cyber Security Centre ("NCSC") recommends completing cryptographic discovery and initial post-quantum cryptography ("PQC") migration plans by 2028, priority migrations by 2031 and full migration by 2035. On November 4, 2026, the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") called on financial firms to begin identifying cryptographic dependencies and developing risk-based migration plans now. Together, these developments are creating demand for solutions that help organizations assess exposure, prioritize investment and secure complex systems.
QSE took part in meetings and technical discussions in London and Cheltenham involving representatives of the UK Ministry of Defence, financial institutions, cybersecurity specialists and government suppliers. Separately, at the invitation of the High Commission of Canada in the United Kingdom, QSE exhibited at the Canada booth during the UK National Quantum Technologies Showcase on November 6, 2026. The Company demonstrated QPrime, its platform for identifying cryptographic, software and hardware dependencies and planning migration, alongside QREK, its hybrid post-quantum data-protection solution.
The programme also included participation in techUK's November 4 briefing on international quantum collaboration. On November 7, 2026, Joseph Hall, QSE's Chief Intelligence Officer, spoke at the CIOR International Cyber Event, addressing post-quantum threats, operational technology vulnerabilities and cyber resilience.
"For defence agencies, financial institutions and critical infrastructure operators, post-quantum migration is more than a technology upgrade, it is a long-term security and investment priority," said Ted Carefoot, Chief Executive Officer of QSE. "These engagements have brought us into discussions with organizations and partners preparing for that transition today. Our objective is to demonstrate where QSE can solve practical challenges and advance those conversations toward technical evaluations, industry partnerships and commercial opportunities."
