Insider BriefPress release – Allot Ltd. (NASDAQ: ALLT) (TASE: ALLT), a leading global provider of innovative security-as-a-service (SECaaS) and network intelligence solutions for communication service providers and enterprises, today announced that it is a founding member and Chair of a new Post-Quantum Communications (PQC) Consortium dedicated to developing technologies that will secure communications networks and protect data and users against future quantum computing threats.Supported by the Israel Innovation Authority’s Technological Infrastructure Division, the initiative brings together leading technology companies and academic institutions to accelerate innovation in quantum-safe communications.Consortium members include Allot, Ceragon, Classiq, Gilat Satellite Networks, Heqa, Elta, NVIDIA, RAD, and Ribbon. Academic partners include Bar-Ilan University, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, The Open University of Israel, the Technion, and the University of Haifa.PQC enables secure communications that can withstand attacks from future quantum computers, which are expected to render many of today’s encryption methods vulnerable. As governments, enterprises, and communications providers prepare for the quantum era, the need for quantum-resistant security technologies has become a critical cybersecurity priority.The consortium will develop and evaluate technologies based on PQC, Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), and hybrid approaches that combine both. Research efforts will address multiple network layers and environments, including optical, Ethernet, IP, mobile, satellite, data center, and internet-based communications.“The transition to quantum-safe communications is one of the most important cybersecurity challenges facing the world today,” said Dr. Yaakov Stein, VP CTO of Allot, Chair of the Consortium Board, and Head of the Scientific Committee. “We are proud that Allot is a founding member of this initiative, working alongside NVIDIA, RAD, leading technology innovators, and Israel’s top academic institutions. Together, we will help create the technologies needed to protect global communications networks, enterprises and users in the quantum era.”TopicsShare Get the latest research, company news, and market intelligence every week.
