SEALSQ Corp Commits to Post-Quantum Security Solutions for Financial Sector Amid Rising Quantum Threats

Geneva, Switzerland, Feb. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) ("SEALSQ" or "Company"), a company that focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI, and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, today announced its commitment to providing post-quantum security (PQS) solutions to the financial sector, ensuring resilience against emerging quantum threats. In alignment with key recommendations from the Quantum-Safe Financial Forum (QSFF), SEALSQ is actively supporting financial institutions in transitioning to quantum-safe cryptography.

As quantum computing capabilities advance, the financial sector faces an urgent need to adopt post-quantum cryptographic (PQC) measures to safeguard sensitive data. SEALSQ is addressing this challenge by offering quantum-resistant cryptographic solutions tailored to protect financial transactions, communications, and data storage from quantum-enabled cyber threats. SEALSQ urges financial institutions and policymakers to prioritize PQC adoption and actively integrate quantum-resistant algorithms into their security infrastructure. It advocates for a unified approach where financial institutions, regulators, and industry leaders align their planning and roadmaps to ensure an efficient and seamless transition to PQC.

SEALSQ supports that a voluntary framework, rather than new legislation, will be sufficient to facilitate a smooth PQC transition while maintaining regulatory compliance. This transition presents an opportunity to enhance overall cryptographic management strategies, ensuring long-term resilience against evolving cyber threats. SEALSQ actively engages with industry leaders, regulators, and global organizations to foster collaboration, conduct quantum-safe experiments, and establish best practices for PQC implementation. Experts have raised alarms regarding the ‘Store now, decrypt later’ (SNDL) threat, where malicious actors collect encrypted financial data today, anticipating decryption with future quantum computers. Without immediate action, long-term investment strategies, confidential agreements, and sensitive financial records could be compromised.

SEALSQ is at the forefront of combatting this risk, offering cryptographic solutions that safeguard against SNDL threats, ensuring that financial institutions can protect their data both today and in the quantum-powered future. As a pioneer in post-quantum security, SEALSQ remains dedicated to developing and deploying cutting-edge PQC technologies that meet the evolving cybersecurity needs of the financial sector. Through continued investment in research, strategic collaborations, and industry partnerships, SEALSQ is helping financial institutions navigate the quantum era with confidence.
