QuProtect Recognized as Industry’s Only Fully
Orchestrated Encryption Management Solution Delivering Validated
Post-Quantum Cryptography that is Monitored for Attack and Actively
Defended
QuSecure™, Inc., a leader in post-quantum cryptography (PQC),
today announced its QuProtect Crypto-Agility platform was honored
in Fast Company’s Innovation by Design Awards for 2024 program in
the User Experience category.
The Innovation by Design Awards, which can be found in the
Summer issue of Fast Company, honor the designers and businesses
solving the most crucial problems of today and anticipating the
pressing issues of tomorrow. The competition, now in its 13th year,
features a range of blue-chip companies, emerging startups, and
promising young talent. It is one of the most sought-after design
awards in the industry. Alongside QuSecure, other recognitions in
the User Experience category include the Google Pixel Fold, Samsung
One UI 6.1, Notion AI, and the Target Shopping Cart.
“This year’s honorees show how essential creativity is to the
process of innovation,” said Brendan Vaughan, editor-in-chief of
Fast Company. “It’s inspiring to see how some of the best minds
across industries are using design to shape our world for the
better.”
QuSecure was awarded this recognition for its success in
creating an intuitive user experience while bringing a completely
new category to market – orchestrated encryption management.
Virtually every large company in the world – and virtually every
technology user – relies on encryption to keep their data safe, yet
historically companies have not managed their own encryption. They
have traditionally relied on disparate third parties and
spreadsheets to manage encryption, and it’s no surprise that broken
encryption methods often remain active for years without
organizations noticing. With the advancing threats of AI and
quantum computing decryption targeting our nation’s most sensitive
data and communications, it has become necessary for organizations
to take control of their encryption.
Crypto-Agility Made Simple
QuSecure is proud to be recognized for ushering in a new
paradigm where upgrading cryptography is intuitive and centralized,
a stark contrast to the current complex processes. With QuProtect,
organizations take full control of encryption, not just migrating
to the new post-quantum standards, and gain full central control to
change algorithms, crypto libraries, key lengths, key rotation,
protocols, and even generate real-time auditable cryptographic
inventories and reports – all without downtime or impact to live
systems.
“We are honored by this recognition, which highlights our team’s
dedication to making managed cryptography throughout vast networks
an empowering and simple experience for the first time,” said Meg
Gleason, Head of User Experience and Product Adoption for QuSecure.
“We are proud to provide security leaders with essential,
previously unavailable controls crucial for safeguarding our
future.”
Chris Trinidad, Senior UX/UI Software Engineer for QuSecure,
added: “Simplifying our revolutionary product’s user interface
amidst the complexities of how network cryptography is done today
and showcasing our unique ability to give the user the power to be
Crypto-Agile have been a challenging yet rewarding journey. We’re
thrilled to make this advanced technology simple and intuitive for
our users.”
The judges include renowned designers from a variety of
disciplines, business leaders from some of the most innovative
companies in the world, and Fast Company’s own writers and editors.
Entries are judged on the key ingredients of innovation –
functionality, originality, beauty, sustainability, user insight,
cultural impact, and business impact.
QuSecure is featured in the Summer print issue of Fast Company.
