nodeQ Launches PQtunnelTM: The Leading-Edge Cybersecurity Solution for Quantum-Safe Communication
This vulnerability exposes a large number of applications to potential security breaches, threatening our trillion-dollar digital economy. Multiple sectors are under threat: Financial Institutions, government entities, telecommunications companies, cloud providers, the healthcare industry, the defense sector, universities and research centers, and virtually any IT-based enterprise that relies on encrypted data.
Companies must transition IT infrastructures to quantum-resistant solutions, such as Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC). In the US the transition to PQC is set to start in 2024, as a result of Biden's 2022 Computing Cybersecurity Preparedness Act and the end of NIST standardization.
Ignazio Pedone , the cybersecurity lead at nodeQ, emphasized the significance of their latest security product, stating, "This security product represents an important step towards a more effective and robust application of quantum-safe cryptography for enterprises."
Various early customers have already adopted PQtunnel™ to test their readiness to migrate to quantum-safe cryptography. PQC is going to play an important role for telecom operators.
"At Fibraweb, PQtunnel demonstrated our readiness for quantum-security migration," says Walid Bounassif, CEO of Fibraweb (an Italian telco). "The software created quantum-resistant connections between external clients and our internal servers, showing that post-quantum encrypted communication can efficiently be implemented for remote IT administration and secure file transfer."
PQC is essential for medium to large enterprises, including educational institutions like universities, where maintaining data confidentiality at various levels is crucial. At the University of
York (UK), PQtunnel™ has been deployed for the quantum-safe transfer of documents. This pioneering demonstration, the first of its kind in the world within the education sector, actively involved staff and students from the Department of Computer Science.
"PQtunnel has effectively established high-speed, quantum-resistant connections both within and beyond the campus perimeter," says Prof Paul Cairns (Head of the Computer Science Department at the University of York, UK ). "This technology has clearly demonstrated its capacity for facilitating quantum-secure data transfers, affirming its readiness to enhance our university's digital infrastructure."
