The acquisition, planned through Reliance’s newly established EZRA International Group, will follow a twelve-month, milestone-based investment process contingent on due diligence and definitive agreements. As quantum computing capabilities rapidly advance, the security of everything from financial networks to government communications is at risk. “When that line is crossed, existing encryption standards don’t weaken gradually—they break.” The urgency stems from the understanding that transitioning to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is not optional, but an inevitable necessity for maintaining data security. Enquantum distinguishes itself by focusing on hardware-accelerated solutions, aiming to overcome performance limitations often associated with software-only PQC implementations.
The company intends to deliver NIST-compliant cryptographic hardware cores designed for speed, efficiency, and security, potentially supporting terabit-level Ethernet speeds – a critical factor for maintaining operational capacity during the transition. In 2025, Enquantum secured a patent for FPGA-based encrypted communications, incorporating hash-based encryption techniques considered quantum-resistant. This approach is particularly significant as current PQC algorithms can introduce computational overheads, impacting performance.
Moshe Fishman, Director of Operations, emphasized the scale of the impending shift, stating, “We believe that post-quantum cryptography will be one of the largest forced technology transitions in the cybersecurity industry.” He projects the PQC market to reach $2.84 Billion by 2030, driven by evolving cyber regulations and the proactive need for data protection. “Even before current encryption standards begin to fail, organizations won’t debate whether to upgrade, they will have no alternative,” Fishman added.
EZRA International Group was specifically created to capitalize on such structural shifts, recognizing the demand for scalable, quantum-resilient security solutions within data centers, financial institutions, and government networks.
