Thales and Senetas have collaborated to launch the world's first quantum resistant network encryption solution, capable of protecting customer data against future quantum attacks.

The United States National Institute of Standards and Technology is currently selecting finalists amongst the quantum safe encryption algorithms being developed.

Enabling customers to combine both conventional and quantum resistant encryption in a single network security platform, the solution also provides long-term data protection in a quantum world.

"As quantum computing becomes a reality, organisations around the world should develop a quantum security strategy and start planning to implement quantum resistant encryption sooner rather than later."

"This is the first to market high-speed network encryption platform that provides quantum resistant encryption with today's encryption technology. Our government, defense and business customers can make a secure transition to a future quantum-safe world knowing data is protected for the long-term," said Andrew Wilson, Senetas CEO. "It's vital that businesses understand that all of today's encryption standards are not fit for a quantum world. Hackers know quantum is coming and are actively working to steal data now so they can access it in the future, and large and multi-national organisations are most at risk due to compliance and privacy mandates."

"Businesses can't afford to wait, the time is now to review their security quantum strategy," said Todd Moore, Vice President, Encryption Solutions at Thales.
