Q Lab Unveils Two Cybersecurity Products Backed by Government Funding
The Russian developer has launched a secure AI gateway and a remote access platform after receiving a preferential loan of 100 million rubles (about $1.3 million).
Q Lab has introduced QGate AI, a gateway designed to enable the secure use of artificial intelligence in enterprise environments, along with QRemote, a platform for secure remote access to information systems. Both products target government agencies and commercial customers. The company received a preferential loan of 100 million rubles (about $1.3 million) through a financing program supported by Russia's Ministry of Economic Development and the SME Corporation. The funding was used to support the development team, lease computing resources, conduct testing, and prepare the products for launch. The preferential interest rate – set at seven percentage points below the central bank's key rate – helped reduce borrowing costs, preserve working capital, and allow the company to continue fulfilling contracts.
The company is now preparing patent applications and seeking to have both products included in Mintsifry's (Ministry of Digital Development) Unified Register of Russian Software. Next steps include pilot deployments, integration with Russian cybersecurity tools, and expanding sales. The preferential lending program for small technology companies is being implemented under the national project Effektivnaya i konkurentosposobnaya ekonomika (Efficient and Competitive Economy).
