Alexander Truskovsky named Chief Information Security Officer at EigenQ

Quantum technology company EigenQ promoted Alexander Truskovsky to the newly established position of Chief Information Security Officer, following his tenure as Vice President of Cryptography. The company works on post-quantum cryptography and quantum-safe infrastructure.

Two signals here: the role is newly created, which is how most CISO seats at growth-stage deep-tech companies come into existence, and it was filled by internal promotion from a cryptography leadership seat — a reminder that in PQC-adjacent companies, the CISO role is as much a product-credibility function as an internal-security one.

According to the announcement, EigenQ promoted Alexander Truskovsky to the newly established position of Chief Information Security Officer, following his successful tenure as Vice President of Cryptography. The company announced it on July 28, 2026, alongside the appointment of Mark Pecen as Vice Chairman. EigenQ describes itself as a quantum technology company developing hardware and software solutions spanning post-quantum cryptography, quantum random number generation, and hardware-rooted quantum-safe infrastructure.

The announcement says Truskovsky will lead EigenQ's information security strategy, cybersecurity governance, security architecture and risk management, while continuing to integrate security and compliance across the company's products, solutions, and operations. It adds that he will also continue to provide strategic input on product design, product security, customer requirements, and product-market fit. The company calls him an inventor, cryptography leader, and enterprise solutions architect, and says he has helped advance EigenQ's technology, security architecture, and product strategy.

The announcement places the appointments ahead of EigenQ's proposed merger with Silicon Valley Acquisition Corp. Chief Executive Officer José Rosas-Bustos said the promotion "reinforces our relentless focus on quantum security." The announcement gives no further detail on Truskovsky's earlier employers or qualifications.
