“We are very pleased to partner with a PKI industry leader such as GlobalSign. Our relationship is being cemented at a significant time where our organisation is expanding its reach to post quantum computing solutions. Given that GlobalSign is a recognised leader for PKI and leader in trusted identities, we feel strongly they are an important partner for us to mutually build new opportunities in this emerging Post-Quantum Computing market,” said Kevin Naidoo, the founder and lead engineer at Quantum PKI.

The partnership underscores GlobalSign’s commitment to delivering top-tier PKI solutions and supporting businesses in their digital transformation journeys. By combining GlobalSign’s cutting-edge technology with Quantum PKI’s extensive market reach, this collaboration promises to set new standards in the PKI industry.
