Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 28, 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 introduce QSE QScope - Cryptographic Discovery and CBOM Intelligence. QScope is QSE's CBOM compiler and is designed to help organizations automatically find and organize the encryption used across their systems.

A CBOM, or Cryptographic Bill of Materials, is a list of the encryption inside an organization. QScope is designed to show where encryption is used, which algorithms, certificates and libraries are in place, and what may need to be reviewed or upgraded as security standards change.

In large organizations, encryption can be hidden across servers, applications, cloud systems, certificates, network devices, APIs and third-party software. Without a clear view, business and security teams may not know what is exposed, what needs to change, or where to start.

Post-quantum readiness starts with a simple question: where is your cryptography? QScope is built around three simple outcomes:

• See your cryptography - find where encryption, certificates, keys and related security tools are being used.
• Understand your exposure - identify older or weaker cryptography that may create risk as quantum-related threats advance.
• Plan your PQC migration - use the results to prioritize upgrades, budget more effectively and reduce disruption.

"QScope is designed to make cryptographic risk easier to understand and act on," said Ted Carefoot, Chief Executive Officer of QSE. "Organizations cannot protect what they cannot see. QScope helps customers see their cryptography, understand where they may be exposed and build a practical plan for post-quantum migration."

QScope is designed to connect with QSE's QPrime, QSE's full secure posture platform. Together, QScope and QPrime help customers move from discovery to a clear action plan for post-quantum readiness.

For enterprise customers, QSE believes this creates a more practical way to prepare for post-quantum security. Instead of starting with a manual review, customers can use QScope to create visibility, support internal planning and track risk over time.

QSE believes demand for tools like QScope will grow as governments, standards bodies and large organizations increase their focus on post-quantum security planning.

"Post-quantum migration is not a one-time project," added Mr. Carefoot. "It is a business and technology transition that will take planning. QScope is intended to give organizations a clearer picture of their current environment so they can make better decisions before migration becomes urgent."

The Company is evaluating intellectual property protection strategies related to the platform's underlying technology.
