Collaboration to support Malaysia's critical infrastructure with Act 854 readiness

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 23, 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 has signed a memorandum of agreement (the "MOA") with a Malaysia-based digital trust and certificate-management provider that forms part of a global digital trust ecosystem.

Under the MOA, QSE and its Malaysian partner intend to develop a Malaysia-specific version of QSE's full secure posture ("QPrime") platform. The tailored platform is intended to help Malaysia's National Critical Information Infrastructure ("NCII") organizations prepare for requirements under Malaysia's Cyber Security Act 2024 (Act 854).

Simply, QPrime is designed to help organizations understand where encryption is used, where cyber and quantum-related exposure may exist, and what steps should be prioritized as they plan their move toward post-quantum security.

The parties also intend to host the Malaysia-specific QPrime solution on Malaysian sovereign infrastructure, with data residency in Malaysia. This is important for government agencies and regulated organizations that need sensitive cybersecurity information, assessment results and compliance records to remain within the country.

Malaysia's Cyber Security Act 2024 (Act 854) has increased the focus on cybersecurity readiness for NCII organizations, which can include organizations in sectors such as government, financial services, communications, energy, healthcare, transportation and other critical services.

QSE believes the MOA strengthens its commercial positioning in Southeast Asia by moving QPrime from a general post-quantum assessment platform toward a local, compliance-focused solution built around the needs of Malaysian NCII organizations.

"This MOA is important because it is focused on a clear market need," said Ted Carefoot, Chief Executive Officer of QSE. "Malaysia's NCII organizations need practical tools to understand their cybersecurity exposure, prepare for Act 854 and plan for post-quantum risk. By working with a Malaysian digital trust provider and supporting local data residency, we believe QPrime can become a practical starting point for organizations that need to move from awareness to action."

For QSE, the MOA supports the Company's broader strategy of scaling its existing platform through regional partners. Instead of requiring customers to adopt a one-size-fits-all product, QSE is working to adapt its technology for local regulatory requirements, local data-residency needs and real customer workflows.
