The $194B Shift: How Quantum Risk Redefines Value
Issued on behalf of QSE - Quantum Secure Encryption Corp.
VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- USA News Group News Commentary – Capital is moving rapidly toward safety. Hybrid cloud markets swelled to $194 billion in 2026[1] as the vast majority of European enterprises rush to lock down sovereign architectures and meet strict data laws. The stakes got higher this month; federal mandates now require quantum-resistant encryption[2] for new tech purchases. This regulatory shift positions Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. (QSE) (CSE: QSE) (OTCQB: QSEGF) (FSE: VN8), Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO), Nutanix (NASDAQ: NTNX), Digital Realty (NYSE: DLR), and DXC Technology (NYSE: DXC) as pivotal guardians in a sector facing a massive structural realignment.
The G7 confirms the threat is real. They released coordinated transition roadmaps[3] to combat "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks by nation-states targeting currently encrypted data. As global AI spending races toward $2.52 trillion[4], governance is the new speed limit; organizations simply cannot deploy automation without first solving for operational risk and regulatory exposure.
Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. (CSE: QSE) (OTCQB: QSEGF) (FSE: VN8) has renewed its enterprise agreement with The Muthoot Group in India, covering approximately 14,000 user licenses across one of the country's largest and most established financial services organizations. The renewal reinforces QSE's long-term strategy to deepen its presence in India's highly regulated financial sector while maintaining an enterprise-scale deployment of its secure access and post-quantum readiness platform. The agreement has been executed and invoiced, with commercial terms structured to evolve as deployment requirements expand and additional service capabilities are introduced.
"This renewal, covering approximately 14,000 user licenses, represents an important milestone as we continue to strengthen QSE's presence in the Indian market," said Ted Carefoot, CEO of QSE. "Muthoot's scale and reputation underscore the trust placed in our platform by large, security-sensitive institutions."
The post-quantum security company continues building international momentum. QSE recently entered South America with a three-year security agreement supporting three Brazilian government clients for approximately 4,500 user licenses. The contract establishes QSE's initial commercial footprint in the region while creating infrastructure for broader adoption of platform services as quantum computing threats to current encryption standards continue advancing.
Both deployments follow QSE's land-and-expand commercialization model, where secure access implementations serve as foundations for broader platform adoption. The structures provide pathways for expansion through additional user seats and service modules, including Quantum Preparedness Assessments, qREK entropy key services, and QSE.API integrations for enterprise workflows.
QSE's joining the Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries (CADSI) positions the company within Canada's defence and security ecosystem, providing access to senior decision-makers across the Canadian Armed Forces, federal departments, and allied governments. The membership positions QSE for its coming participation in the World Defense Show 2026 in Saudi Arabia this February as part of the official Canadian Delegation.
International expansion accelerates through a strategic partnership with NUSA Networks and Porta Nusa, providing access to Indonesia's government, financial services, and enterprise sectors. QSE holds Level 2 Certification under the CyberSecure Canada program, while the QSE Group division maintains a distributor agreement with Enzo Plus representing these technologies across 300 channel partners in Southeast Asia. With the global post-quantum cryptography market projected to reach $17.69 billion by 2034 and backed by a recent C$2.8 million financing round, QSE is funded and operationally positioned to execute on its global expansion roadmap throughout 2026.
