QuSecure Banking Deployment Cited in Proposed SEC Post-Quantum Financial Infrastructure Framework

Corporate Business News Sponsored by Business Watch Global

SAN MATEO, Calif., March 20, 2026 (VSNewsNetwork.com) — Cybersecurity company, QuSecure, Inc., a technology company specializing in post-quantum cybersecurity and cryptographic agility, has announced that its commercial banking deployment with Banco Sabadell and Accenture has been cited in a proposed Post-Quantum Financial Infrastructure Framework (PQFIF) submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Crypto Assets Task Force.

The proposed framework references the four-month banking deployment as a real-world example of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) migration. The PQFIF states that the implementation demonstrates that “migration to post-quantum cryptography is both technically feasible and operationally practical for major financial institutions, providing a benchmark for industry-wide adoption strategies.”

The deployment is detailed in Sections Two and Seven of the proposed framework and was identified as the sole “Real-World Implementation Precedent.” The framework notes that QuProtect’s “PQC implementation proved feasible within existing infrastructure frameworks, [its] network-layer encryption solutions enabled quantum-safe standards without complete system overhaul, [and its] crypto-agility approaches demonstrated practical viability for complex banking environments.”

“The SEC framework goes beyond theory to real-world execution. The PQFIF represents groundbreaking guidance that both recognizes the immediacy of the threat and gives financial sector practitioners a clear set of actions to take to move beyond strategy and crypto inventory before the clock runs out. I expect other highly regulated sectors – pharma, healthcare, and energy – to adopt the path laid out in the PQFIF as they formalize their own migration guidance. QuSecure is proud to continue our pioneering legacy, giving security leaders peer precedent and board-ready examples that quantum-safe progress can start now, pragmatically, in phases, and without operational disruption, alongside innovative and security-first organizations like Banco Sabadell and Accenture,” said Rebecca Krauthamer, Co-founder and CEO of QuSecure.

The proposed framework also addresses risks associated with quantum computing. According to the PQFIF, “The U.S. digital asset ecosystem, built upon current cryptographic standards, faces an existential threat from the rapid advancement of quantum computing. A cryptographically relevant quantum computer (CRQC) could break the fundamental security that protects trillions of dollars in assets leading to systemic risk, catastrophic investor losses, and a complete erosion of market confidence. The framework provides a structured methodology for assessing vulnerabilities, planning a risk-based migration, and implementing NIST-standardized cryptographic solutions without disrupting market operations. Action today is needed to secure investor assets and ensure the long-term integrity of U.S. capital markets in the quantum era.”

The Banco Sabadell deployment was implemented in a live banking environment and demonstrated that migration to quantum-safe cryptography can begin without full infrastructure replacement.
