RAD and Arqit Address Evolving Cyberthreats with Joint Solution

Arqit and RAD are collaborating to deliver a quantum-safe encryption solution designed to shield telecommunications networks and their clients from increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks. The companies successfully integrated Arqit’s NetworkSecure key generation technology with RAD’s ETX Carrier Edge platform, addressing the growing threat of “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” attacks and the eventual obsolescence of current public-key infrastructure due to advancing quantum computing. “The urgent need for institutions globally to fortify their encryption against public key infrastructure weaknesses, HNDL and the fast-approaching quantum threat to long-term data security is beyond dispute,” said Andy Leaver, CEO at Arqit. This joint effort aims to provide a crypto-agile and hybrid post-quantum solution for telcos offering secure services like VPNs and Data Center Interconnect. Arqit & RAD Address “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” Attacks The escalating threat of “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” (HNDL) attacks is driving a collaborative response from Arqit and RAD, focused on bolstering encryption defenses for telecommunications companies and their clients. This proactive approach acknowledges that even before quantum computers mature enough to break current encryption, malicious actors are actively collecting encrypted data with the intention of decrypting it once quantum capabilities become widely available. This combined offering isn’t simply a future-proofing exercise; it directly addresses the present danger of HNDL attacks, prompting organizations to seek enhanced security from their communications service providers. Arqit’s technology focuses on generating quantum-safe encryption keys, while RAD contributes high-performance encryption capabilities at the network edge, creating a layered defense. RAD’s VP Product & Marketing, Eli Angel, emphasized the synergy of the collaboration, stating, “By leveraging Arqit’s key generation technology, hybridized with Post Quantum algorithms, and together with RAD’s unique high speed wireline encryption, we strengthen our quantum security ecosystem, adding another layer of defense to navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of threats and technologies.” The companies are positioning this as a crypto-agile and hybrid post-quantum solution, allowing telcos to offer enhanced security services to their customers and prepare for a future where conventional encryption standards are rendered obsolete. Arqit was recognized as an IDC Innovator for Post-Quantum Cryptography in 2024, highlighting its position in the emerging field. NetworkSecure Integrates with RAD’s ETX Carrier Edge Platform The escalating threat to data security has spurred integration between Arqit and RAD, addressing vulnerabilities that extend beyond the anticipated arrival of widespread quantum computing capabilities. Current concerns center on “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” (HNDL) attacks, where data is intercepted with the intention of decryption once quantum computers mature; this immediate risk is driving demand for proactive solutions from enterprises seeking enhanced protection from their communications service providers. This pairing isn’t simply a reactive measure against future quantum decryption; it’s a response to the present landscape of cryptographic risk. The urgent need for institutions globally to fortify their encryption against public key infrastructure weaknesses, HNDL and the fast-approaching quantum threat to long-term data security is beyond dispute. Andy Leaver, CEO at Arqit IDC Innovator & Arqit’s Encryption Intelligence Capabilities Arqit Quantum Inc. Encryption Intelligence functions by detecting cryptographic exposure, identifying weaknesses, and mapping dependencies within an organization’s systems, offering a proactive approach to safeguarding sensitive information. This detection capability is now being integrated with networking solutions from RAD, a global leader in edge networking, to deliver a joint quantum-safe encryption solution for telecommunications companies. The collaboration leverages Arqit’s key generation technology alongside RAD’s ETX Carrier Edge platform, enabling telcos to offer secure services like site-to-site VPNs and Data Center Interconnect. By leveraging Arqit’s key generation technology, hybridized with Post Quantum algorithms, and together with RAD’s unique high speed wireline encryption, we strengthen our quantum security ecosystem, adding another layer of defense to navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of threats and technologies.
