Government Agencies Get QuProtect QuSecure’s via Carahsoft
QuProtect
Public Sector Cybersecurity
A pioneering alliance between Carahsoft Technology Corp. and QuSecure, Inc. will provide post-quantum cybersecurity to the U.S. public sector. Quantum-resistant cryptography is needed as quantum computing accelerates. This strategic cooperation will give federal, state, and municipal organisations scalable, reliable quantum-safe technologies to prevent cryptographic weaknesses.
Why Post-Quantum Cybersecurity Matters National
Traditional cryptography faces an existential danger from quantum computers. Since quantum processors can break RSA and ECC encryption, post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is essential. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has already standardised PQC algorithms, demonstrating the urgency of the change for both public and private sectors.
QuSecure and Carahsoft link government implementation and quantum security innovation to meet NIST, NSA, and CISA regulations.
QuProtect
QuProtect is QuSecure's main crypto-agile cybersecurity platform. It prioritises data and network security.
Key QuProtect features include:
Comprehensive Threat Defence: It protects against classical, AI-driven, and quantum threats.
The technology lets administrators dynamically manage cryptographic protocols. Adapting to changing security settings requires this capacity.
Compliance: QuProtect ensures new NIST requirements are met. It also meets the Quantum Computing Cybersecurity Preparedness Act's quantum-resistant cryptography requirements for federal agencies.
Policy-Driven Architecture: The platform's architecture allows algorithms to be controlled by policies, making security requirements easy to implement and enforce.
Smooth Deployment: QuProtect's ability to deploy without disrupting communications or system uptime is crucial for maintaining operations in demanding situations.
The QuSecure project advances quantum-resilient encryption.
QuProtect, QuSecure's flagship platform, protects data in conventional and quantum networks and integrates with existing infrastructures. Uniquely, QuProtect can:
Offer quantum-resilient encryption on all devices, from endpoints to clouds.
Hybrid PQC facilitates secure quantum key orchestration.
Maintain backward compatibility while providing future-proof security.
QuSecure's zero-trust architecture ensures that the system never implicitly trusts network components. The unstable cyber environment requires proactive protection methods like real-time threat detection and AI-based anomaly analysis from QuSecure.
Carahsoft Accelerates Federal PQC Access
Carahsoft, the premier government IT solutions provider, is essential to this connection. Carahsoft's GSA Schedule, NASA SEWP, and OMNIA Partners government procurement technologies make buying QuSecure's QuProtect solution easy, legal, and scalable.
Post-Quantum Cybersecurity skills can be acquired and deployed quickly by government agencies using these methods. This accelerates quantum-safe program uptake in commercial, military, intelligence, and public health organisations.
Ensuring Federal Quantum Directive Compliance
One recent federal initiative, OMB Memorandum M-23-02, requires agencies to inventory cryptographic equipment and convert to quantum-safe alternatives. Carahsoft makes QuSecure's solutions accessible, allowing businesses to:
Complete cryptography inventory.
Replace obsolete systems with quantum-resistant ones.
Complete regulatory obligations on time without losing efficiency.
With QuSecure's automated risk assessments and real-time compliance reporting, agencies may track their CMMC and FIPS compliance.
Operations benefits of post-quantum cybersecurity
A seamless integration
QuSecure's QuProtect platform enables non-disruptive integration. Quantum-resilient cryptography doesn't need agencies to overhaul their IT. The platform supports many environments:
Software native to the cloud
Building infrastructure
Hybrid network designs
Mission-driven government operations require low downtime and speedy deployment.
High-performance, scalable
QuSecure scales to billions of encrypted sessions everyday. Its architecture protects critical communications in defence, intelligence, infrastructure, and municipal services.
Encryption across devices
QuProtect adds quantum-resilient endpoint encryption:
Transportable devices
OT and IoT devices
Legacy computer platforms
For businesses managing sensitive national infrastructure or confidential communications, this comprehensive plan provides full-spectrum protection.
Quantum Leap in National Security
QuSecure and Carahsoft's alliance changed cybersecurity readiness nationwide. This collaboration will integrate QuSecure's cutting-edge technology into Carahsoft's huge government procurement ecosystem, enabling a deliberate shift from reactive to proactive quantum defence.
Quantum attacks could soon make national sovereignty more vital than compliance with legislation. Opponents are investing heavily in quantum research, so acting now is critical.
Future Quantum Cyber Defence Prospects
Carahsoft and QuSecure are well-positioned to lead public sector digital transformation as post-quantum standards emerge. Potential breakthroughs include:
Connectivity to new federal zero-trust frameworks
Real-time quantum assault simulations and training modules
Increased AI-powered quantum threat analysis help
With the future-expandable QuSecure platform and Carahsoft's unmatched distribution channels, the public sector may now build quantum-resistant cyberdefenses.
