The announcement, originating from Zug, Switzerland, underscores the collaboration between QANplatform and its intellectual property holding entity, managed by CEO Patrick Storchenegger and CTO Johann Polecsak, co-founder of QANplatform. Together, they are at the forefront of developing post-quantum cybersecurity (PQC) solutions anchored in the QAN blockchain platform's inherent quantum-resistant capabilities.

This strategic alliance is in alignment with the recommendations from the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) concerning quantum-resistant frameworks. The focus is on weaving these PQC solutions seamlessly into enterprise software, marking a significant step forward in the evolution of cybersecurity measures.

Patrick Storchenegger expressed his pride in the successful incorporation of QANplatform's technology, now a critical layer in the partner's software, bolstering the country's cybersecurity infrastructure. This integration not only enhances the nation's strategic positioning in the digital realm but also equips it to navigate the challenges posed by the quantum computing era.

Johann Polecsak highlighted the urgency of staying ahead in cybersecurity, especially against the backdrop of the "Store now, decrypt later" paradigm. This scenario alludes to a future where quantum computers could potentially decrypt currently secure data, rendering today's security algorithms obsolete. QANplatform's inception with quantum resistance at its core is a proactive response to this looming cybersecurity challenge.

Due to national security considerations, the specific EU country and the details of the technology's application remain undisclosed. However, this development marks a significant milestone in the global race toward quantum-resilient cybersecurity solutions, setting a precedent for other nations to follow in safeguarding their digital infrastructures against the quantum computing era's challenges.
