Altech Corporation a pioneer in the Japanese technology market and engaged in important sectors such as government, manufacturing, telecommunications and cloud computing, has signed a distribution agreement with Quside Technologies SL. Altech has been handling technology distribution in the field of manufacturing, wireless communications and IoT security for more than 20 years and has accumulated vast expertise in this area.

In a first of its kind collaboration, Bezeq and HEQA Security have joined forces to pioneer quantum cybersecurity. This partnership sees Bezeq set to deploy an innovative encryption key distribution network, uniquely positioning it as the first Israeli telecom to fortify its infrastructure against the burgeoning threat of quantum cyber-attacks. These advanced cyber threats pose significant risks to critical sectors including finance, healthcare, and defense, underlining the urgency of preemptive security measures.

When a local utility provider needed the next level of network security, quantum scientists delivered.

Researchers at DTU have successfully distributed a quantum-secure key using a method called Continuous Variable Quantum Key Distribution (CV QKD). The researchers have managed to make the method work over a record 100 km distance—the longest distance ever achieved using the CV QKD method. The advantage of the method is that it can be applied to the existing Internet infrastructure.

QuTech and Eurofiber, together with QuTech spin-out Q*Bird and other partners, have installed a proof-of-concept quantum communication system between locations in the Utrecht area. The testbed shows that it is possible to build secure communication using carrier grade dark fiber connections, integrating conventional network equipment in a quantum encryption environment.

Singtel signed three Memoranda of Understanding with industry leaders, Cisco, Fortinet, and Nokia, to provide quantum security solutions to enterprises through its Quantum Safe Network (QSN). With this collaboration, enterprises can tap on Cisco's routing platform, Fortinet's firewalls and Nokia's optical devices to boost their defences against advanced cyber threats. These solutions utilise quantum key distribution, which is a secure method for distributing encryption keys only known between shared parties, from Singtel’s QSN and can be easily integrated into the enterprises’ existing network and security infrastructure.

Introducing Clarion KX: ID Quantique’s (IDQ) Quantum Key exchange software platform enables a seamless future-proofing of the network security for enterprises, while enabling telco operators to offer new quantum-safe services that provide long-term security of data in transit for their valued B-to-B customers and users.

Researchers at the University of Waterloo’s Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) have brought together two Nobel prize winning research concepts to advance the field of quantum communication.

SpeQtral, a pioneer in quantum communications solutions, and Arquimea, a leading space technology provider, have officially joined forces through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The collaborative efforts encompass the exploration of potential quantum secure solutions compatible with the BeetleSat Constellation, and the exploration of joint business opportunities in Europe and the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. Notably, the investigation of intercontinental QKD services.

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have demonstrated that advanced quantum-based cybersecurity can be realized in a deployed fiber link. Their results, published in Physical Review Applied, validate an earlier proof-of-principle laboratory experiment by ORNL scientists in 2015.
