The Canadian company brings to market the technology that lets organizations adopt artificial intelligence without putting their sensitive information at risk and without slowing adoption down
MONTREAL, September 16, 2026 — Qohash today unveiled Qostodian Nexus at ALL IN, Canada’s largest artificial intelligence and technology event. The launch brought together the company’s partners and customers, representatives of international delegations, and representatives of the Government of Canada. It is the most significant product launch in the company’s history.
Qostodian Nexus sits between employees, AI agents and language models. It recognizes sensitive data the moment it moves and decides what happens to it, before the model sees anything at all. Inspection happens inside the customer’s own environment: the content never leaves it. All of it at machine speed.
Responsible artificial intelligence use requires organizations to understand what data is input. The models perform, the platforms are solid, and the teams are ready. What can be challenging is a comprehensive view of the data itself: what it contains, who owns it, and what legal obligations protect it. That is the blind spot of AI adoption, and it is precisely where Qohash comes in.
Qostodian Nexus is the high-speed guardrail that enterprises and governments were missing. It does not slow AI deployment down: it makes it possible where there is no room for error. Historically, protecting sensitive data meant moving it somewhere else to inspect it. Qohash made the opposite choice: leave the data where it lives, and give control back to the organization that owns it.
“We don’t bring your data to the security. We bring security to your data. Our partners, public sector organizations and large enterprises need to keep building and adopting artificial intelligence, this is a matter of national competitiveness. We built Qostodian Nexus so they can do it without ever taking their sensitive data outside their own architecture. Sensitive data is not a fixed asset you inventory once: it moves every day, and it is the moment it moves that you have to be able to decide.” — Jean Le Bouthillier, Founder and CEO, Qohash

This is the principle behind Qohash’s zero copy, operationally sovereign architecture, which Qostodian Nexus extends to the precise moment artificial intelligence enters the picture. Deploying AI at scale takes three things: seeing the sensitive data that enters AI systems, governing what is allowed in, and enforcing those rules at machine speed. Qostodian Nexus delivers all three, in a single layer, under the organization’s exclusive control.
Organizations today cannot afford to risk their data: defence and national security, financial institutions, health care, public administrations, and large Canadian enterprises deploying artificial intelligence at scale. For them, the question is no longer whether to adopt AI, but how to do it while protecting the data of their citizens, patients and customers – as well as their own.
The announcement speaks directly to the Government of Canada’s AI for All strategy: accelerating the adoption of artificial intelligence without ceding control of sensitive data, with technology designed, built and owned here. Two patents have been filed.
Alongside the launch of Qostodian Nexus, Qohash announced a new partnership with Mila, one of the leading AI research institutes in the world. This collaboration aims to foster exchanges between research and industry. It will give Qohash access to Mila’s network of experts, professional development opportunities, high-level events and knowledge-sharing activities, as well as an internationally recognized innovation ecosystem.
“AI adoption will only scale if organizations can trust the systems and the data behind them. Cybersecurity is not a separate conversation from AI, it is one of the conditions for adoption. By launching Qostodian Nexus at ALL IN, Qohash is showing how a Canadian company can help organizations move faster with AI while protecting the data that makes it possible. That is exactly the kind of homegrown innovation we need to build a strong and competitive Canadian AI industry.” — Isabelle Turcotte, Co-founder and CEO, ALL IN
