Reliance Global Closes Enquantum Cybersecurity Acquisition
Reliance Global Group has closed its transaction with Enquantum, a post-quantum cybersecurity platform. The deal completion provides Reliance a path to majority control of the company. The acquisition is timed to capitalize on an expected multi-year global cybersecurity upgrade cycle driven by the transition to post-quantum encryption.
