Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 7, 2026) - Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. (CSE: QSE) (OTCQB: QSEGF) (FSE: VN80) ("QSE" or the "Company"), a post-quantum cybersecurity company focused on quantum-resilient data protection, identity security, secure storage and cryptographic migration readiness, is pleased to announce that it will participate in CYDES 2026, one of Southeast Asia's premier cybersecurity conferences, where the Company plans to showcase its portfolio of post-quantum cybersecurity solutions in collaboration with a regional digital trust and cybersecurity partner.

Throughout the conference, QSE plans to demonstrate practical enterprise cybersecurity products designed to help organizations identify encryption risk, protect user identities and secure sensitive data, including:

• QPrime Quantum Preparedness Assessment, which helps organizations identify cryptographic exposure and prioritize migration planning
• QAuth quantum-ready authentication, designed to strengthen enterprise login and identity security
• Quantum Secure Storage, designed to help protect sensitive data against current cyber threats and future quantum-enabled attacks
• Enterprise cryptographic migration solutions that support longer-term planning for post-quantum security requirements

CYDES brings together government agencies, regulators, and critical infrastructure operators from across Asia-Pacific to discuss emerging cyber threats and next-generation security technologies.

QSE's participation supports the Company's broader Southeast Asia expansion strategy and follows recent commercial activity within Malaysia's financial-services sector.

Management believes the region represents a meaningful growth opportunity as governments, critical infrastructure operators and regulated enterprises begin evaluating how to prepare for quantum-related cybersecurity risks.

"CYDES provides an important platform to engage directly with government agencies that are moving from awareness to action on post-quantum cybersecurity," said Ted Carefoot, Chief Executive Officer of QSE. "Before agencies and organizations can protect themselves, they need to understand where their encryption, identity and data risks exist. QSE's platform is designed to make that process practical, clear and manageable."

During the conference, Company representatives plan to meet with government organizations and strategic partners to discuss practical approaches toward post-quantum readiness.

The Company believes demand for quantum migration planning is accelerating as governments and standards bodies encourage organizations to assess cryptographic risk, inventory vulnerable systems and begin planning future migration strategies.

"Post-quantum security is quickly moving from a technical discussion to a business and compliance priority," added Mr. Carefoot. "Events such as CYDES allow us to show that QSE is focused on practical solutions organizations can start using today, rather than waiting for the quantum threat to become an immediate operational problem."
