Help AG launches Quantum 360 post-quantum security suite at GISEC 2026
Help AG, the cybersecurity subsidiary of UAE telecoms group e&, has unveiled Quantum 360, a new professional-services portfolio designed to guide government agencies, critical infrastructure operators and enterprises through the transition to post-quantum cryptography. The launch took place at GISEC Global 2026 in Dubai on 17 September, with attendance from senior e& and Help AG executives.
The portfolio is structured around three distinct service lines. Q-Lens is an assessment offering that inventories an organisation's cryptographic estate, mapping certificates, keys, algorithms and libraries across on-premises, hybrid and multi-cloud environments, and generating a cryptography bill of materials (CBOM). Q-Path is an advisory service that converts the CBOM findings into a prioritised migration roadmap aligned to regulatory requirements. Q-Seal is an implementation service for high-assurance environments, including quantum key distribution (QKD) for communications that demand the strongest available protection. Together, Help AG frames these three services as a five-step workflow: discover, understand, prioritise, migrate and protect.
Regulatory backdrop
The timing of the launch is calibrated to an active UAE policy agenda. The UAE Cybersecurity Council's National Encryption Policy requires government entities to develop approved plans for migrating from classical public-key systems to quantum-resistant standards. The Dubai Electronic Security Centre (DESC) has separately published a post-quantum cryptography guidance document for digital infrastructure operators in the emirate. Help AG is positioning Quantum 360 explicitly as a delivery mechanism for that regulatory mandate.
Newly appointed Help AG chief executive Dr Alexander Falgarevich said the market conversation had shifted from whether quantum computing would arrive to whether organisations were ready for it. "Organisations need to know where cryptographic assets sit in their current environments, identify vulnerabilities, and know what needs to change as a priority," he said. "Quantum 360 is designed to turn that complexity into a clear, practical path to quantum readiness."
Abdullah Ibrahim Al Ahmed, e&'s chief executive for the government sector, noted that the UAE had already taken proactive steps toward post-quantum preparedness, and described Quantum 360 as a mechanism to translate national policy direction into operational action for individual institutions.
Market context
Help AG is one of a growing number of managed security providers building structured post-quantum practices ahead of cryptographic deadlines set by standards bodies. The US National Institute of Standards and Technology finalised its first three post-quantum cryptographic algorithm standards in August 2024, and the US federal government has mandated migration timelines running to 2030. European and Gulf regulators are converging on similar frameworks, creating demand for assessment-to-implementation services that bridge the gap between policy obligation and technical execution.
The "harvest now, decrypt later" threat model, in which adversaries collect encrypted traffic today intending to decrypt it once sufficiently capable quantum hardware becomes available, is the primary driver of urgency for long-lived sensitive data, particularly in government, defence and financial services. Help AG, with a stated base of more than 500 government and enterprise customers across the region and security operations centres in Dubai and Riyadh, is well placed to capture early demand in the Gulf where national cyber strategies are actively funded. The firm was rated a Leader in the IDC MarketScape for managed security services in 2026 and for managed detection and response in 2025. No pricing or contract values for Quantum 360 were disclosed at launch.
