Singtel will partner with Cisco, Fortinet and Nokia to provide quantum security solutions to enterprises through its Quantum Safe Network (QSN).
With this collaboration, enterprises are able to tap on Cisco’s routing platform, Fortinet’s firewalls and Nokia’s optical devices to boost their defences against cyber threats.
The solutions use quantum key distribution, which is a secure method for distributing encryption keys only known by shared parties from Singtel’s QSN and can be easily integrated into the enterprises’ existing network and security infrastructure.
The news comes shortly after an announcement by the Infocomm Media Development Authority to develop Singapore’s first nationwide QSN by mid-2024, together with global quantum cybersecurity leader ID Quantique.
This is a strategic initiative that is aimed at fortifying Singapore’s resilience against quantum threats in the next decade.
