SuperQ Quantum Appoints Cybersecurity Veteran to Lead Post-Quantum Commercialization in 2026

SuperQ Quantum Computing Inc. is bolstering its defenses against the looming threat of quantum computing by appointing cybersecurity veteran Brian Beveridge as Director of Post-Quantum Cybersecurity and Partnerships, effective January 22, 2026. This strategic move accelerates the commercialization of SuperQ’s SuperPQC™ suite, designed to protect critical infrastructure from “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” attacks. Beveridge, formerly a Partner at MNP, brings over 30 years of experience in navigating complex cybersecurity landscapes. “Brian is a transformative addition to our executive team,” said Dr. Muhammad Khan, CEO and Board Chair of SuperQ. The appointment signals SuperQ’s commitment to delivering accessible post-quantum solutions and empowering partners to fortify client networks against future threats.

Brian Beveridge Appointed Director of PQC and Partnerships

SuperQ Quantum Computing Inc. Beveridge arrives from MNP, one of Canada’s largest national accounting firms, bringing with him over 30 years dedicated to navigating complex cybersecurity challenges and driving digital transformation. This isn’t simply a personnel shift; it’s a recognition of the escalating threat posed by the “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” (HNDL) tactic, where data is intercepted now with the intention of decryption once quantum computers become powerful enough to break current encryption. Beveridge’s mandate centers on forging high-value partnerships, enabling global enterprises to transition toward quantum-resistant defenses. He will oversee the deployment of SuperQ’s end-to-end security stack, ensuring accessibility for Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) and digital advisory firms. “His deep roots in enterprise consulting and his sophisticated understanding of the cybersecurity ecosystem are exactly what SuperQ needs as we productize quantum readiness.”

The appointment underscores SuperQ’s focus on the practical application of quantum technology, specifically the software layer where shareholder value is expected to rapidly materialize. “SuperQ is solving one of the most urgent challenges of our time: the vulnerability of our global cryptographic infrastructure,” Beveridge himself confirmed. He intends to deliver scalable remediation tools, prioritizing immediate commercial benefit and long-term data sovereignty for clients.

SuperPQC™ Suite Addresses “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” Threat

The escalating threat of “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” (HNDL) attacks is driving demand for proactive cybersecurity solutions, and SuperQ Quantum Computing Inc. is positioning itself as a key player with its SuperPQC™ suite. This approach addresses the vulnerability of currently encrypted data to future decryption by quantum computers—a scenario where adversaries collect encrypted information today, anticipating the ability to break the encryption with more powerful quantum technology down the line. SuperQ’s strategy centers on enabling organizations to transition from vulnerability to “quantum-ready defense” through an end-to-end security stack. Beveridge, formerly a Partner at MNP, will focus on forging partnerships to deploy SuperQ’s diagnostic and defense tools.

Super™ Platform Enables Quantum Readiness & Accessibility

SuperQ Quantum Computing Inc. is actively addressing the impending threat to cryptographic infrastructure with its Super™ platform, aiming to democratize access to post-quantum defenses. The company’s strategy centers on a software-focused approach, recognizing the segment of the quantum industry poised for the most rapid value creation for shareholders. SuperQ isn’t pursuing direct competition with existing consultants; instead, it intends to empower them with the tools needed to navigate the quantum transition. “As we scale, our strategy is to empower the world’s leading consultants to deliver our technology, not to compete with them,” explains Dr.

The platform’s design facilitates a seamless transition from quantum vulnerability to a quantum-ready defense, targeting the “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” (HNDL) threat. SuperQ aims to provide scalable, automated remediation tools with immediate commercial utility, extending its reach through strategic Super Hubs in the US, Middle East, and Asia.

Brian is a transformative addition to our executive team. His deep roots in enterprise consulting and his sophisticated understanding of the cybersecurity ecosystem are exactly what SuperQ needs as we productize quantum readiness.

SuperQ Quantum’s Expansion into Global Markets & ChatQLM

SuperQ Quantum is aggressively scaling its post-quantum cryptography (PQC) commercialization efforts, evidenced by a strategic expansion into key international markets including the US, Middle East, and Asia. The company is establishing “Super Hubs” in these regions to facilitate broader adoption of its Super™ platform and address the growing threat of quantum-enabled decryption of currently secure data—a phenomenon known as “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” (HNDL). This proactive approach positions SuperQ to capitalize on the urgent need for quantum-resistant security solutions. Beyond enterprise solutions, SuperQ aims to democratize access to quantum computing through ChatQLM, placing the technology directly into the hands of consumers and driving wider adoption.
