Unifire Signs Agreement with Best-In-Class Cybersecurity Tech Company to Support President Biden’s Call for Stronger Cyber Defense

Exclusive Distribution Agreement with QRC Americas SA Provides Innovative Digital Security Solutions Against Quantum Computers Attacks

SPOKANE, WASHINGTON – MARCH 31, 2022 – Unifire, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mission Ready Solutions Inc. (“Mission Ready“) (TSX Venture: MRS) (OTCQX: MSNVF), proudly announces that it has entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with QRC Americas SA (QRCrypto) for their quantum-safe cryptography solutions and other related technologies. As part of the agreement, Unifire has been granted exclusive rights to distribute QRCrypto’s leading-edge cybersecurity solutions to the U.S. Government.

The dramatic increase in cyberterrorism, the rise of 5G advanced wireless resulting in millions of vulnerable new endpoints for data transmission and storage, and the reality of powerful quantum computers emerging years before originally predicted are creating a new urgency for protection of data and networks.

“QRCrypto is a world-leader in quantum-safe cryptography and offers the most advanced solution on the market with its potential to revolutionize the cyber defense landscape,” said Dan Raczykowski, Chief Operating Officer of Unifire. “Commercially available quantum computers have the capacity to crack code and break cryptography systems widely adopted among government agencies faster than anything we have seen before.”

QRCrypto offers efficient solutions to keep digital communications safe that include software and SIM cards compatible with existing server infrastructure, drastically reducing the cost of implementation. Their unique quantum-safe technology in 5G systems is the only solution recommended by the United Nations International Telecommunication Union.

Mission Ready Chairman and Major General (Retired) James “Spider” Marks commented, “President Biden’s recent speeches emphasized the importance of stronger defenses against cyberterrorism amid international political tensions. We have seen a significant increase in countries and governments facing cyberattacks, putting some of the world’s largest IT infrastructures at risk. With IT being at the center of today’s warfare, solutions that can withstand present-day and next-generation attacks could be decisive factors in a country’s capacity to respond to cyberterrorism. Early adoption for U.S. institutions could have game-changing effects on their security solutions and allow them to prepare for potential privacy and security disasters.”

“Because of Unifire’s rich experience as a trusted solution provider to U.S. federal, state, and local government, we are very proud to have them as QRCrypto’s exclusive distributor in this space,” said Stiepan Kovac, Co-founder and CEO of QRCrypto. “With QRCrypto, Unifire can now help U.S. government entities protect themselves against current classical and next-generation cyberterrorism threats, including quantum attacks.”
