The Cool Vendors in this Report are Driving the Evolution of Data Security by Addressing Areas Where Traditional, Static Security Controls are No Longer Sufficient
QuSecure™, Inc., a leader in post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and cryptographic agility, announced it has been named a Cool Vendor™ in the Gartner® Coolest Vendor Innovations in Data Security report1, for its QuProtect R3 post-quantum cryptography solution.

Named a Gartner Cool Vendor, QuSecure’s QuProtect R3 is the industry’s only fully integrated, production-ready platform for cryptographic command and control.
According to Gartner, “This report spotlights vendors and innovations transforming data security for AI-driven and autonomous workflows, as traditional, static controls become increasingly inadequate to address modern threats. Key innovations include…Policy-driven postquantum cryptography migration: Policy-based tools enable seamless migration to quantum-resistant cryptography across networks, regardless of native support. Live discovery, remediation and compliance reporting future-proof organizations against emerging threats such as ‘harvest now, decrypt later.’” 1
The upcoming post-quantum threat is rapidly approaching with deadlines to be quantum safe moving ever closer. With technologies developing known to break the encryption all organizations use and depend on to keep information secret, what used to be a 2030s problem is predicted to be a real threat in 2029 by Google, CloudFlare, IBM and others. Earlier this month, IonQ published blueprint evidence for breaking encryption by 2028. And federal mandates on quantum safety kick in as early as Jan. 1, 2027. Encrypted data is being harvested now, with the intent of decrypting it once quantum computers reach sufficient scale. Every online transaction, financial record, and confidential communication protected by today’s encryption can be exposed.
QuProtect R3 is the industry’s only fully integrated, production-ready platform for cryptographic command and control, delivering continuous cryptographic inventory, low-touch remediation to TLS 1.3 with ML-KEM and automated certificate rotation, and always-on compliance evidence.
According to Gartner, “Who should care: CIOs looking to upgrade their network security or complete a TLS 1.3 migration, including those with challenging legacy estates. Cybersecurity leaders wanting central control or those expediting postquantum cryptography migration and remediating ‘harvest now, decrypt later’ risk. CTOs and enterprise architecture leaders working on strategic improvements to crypto-agility. GRC leaders demonstrating postquantum readiness and seeking audit-ready reports.”1
“Generative AI is accelerating the rate at which cryptographic weaknesses can be discovered and exploited, while quantum computing is forcing organizations to prepare for an entirely new class of risk,” said Rebecca Krauthamer, CEO and co-founder of QuSecure. “Together, they are turning cryptography from a series of one-time migrations into an ongoing operational discipline. QuSecure gives organizations the crypto-agility to protect critical systems across existing networks and change cryptography as threats, standards, and technologies evolve, without rip-and-replace infrastructure or application code changes. We believe being named a Gartner Cool Vendor reflects a broader shift in the market we’ve long known was inevitable: Crypto-agility is becoming a core enterprise security capability.”
