Arqit announces availability of solution for quantum-safe VPN communications

Arqit Quantum (ARQQ) announces the availability of the world’s first integrated solution for quantum-safe VPN communications. Arqit’s QuantumCloud is the world’s first fully scalable cloud-based symmetric key agreement platform, capable of creating zero trust quantum-safe encryption keys at any device. Arqit’s QuantumCloud uses unique symmetric key agreement software to provide quantum-safe keys which are used by Juniper (JNPR) SRX devices during the formation of secure tunnels. David Williams, Arqit Founder, Chairman and CEO said, “It is an honour to work with Juniper. We’re excited to leverage our integration to deliver enhanced protection against sophisticated cyber attacks of today and tomorrow. In conjunction with Juniper’s vSRX Virtual Firewall, our strong, simple encryption enables governments and enterprises to realise enhanced protection against cyber threats and to take a major step forward in significantly reducing the quantum threat from their risk registers.”
