Quantum encryption outfit Arqit has signed a deal with Juniper Networks to explore network security technology to protect against quantum security threats.
The idea behind the ‘Technology Alliance Partner Connect’ deal is to develop a way to stop cyber-attackers targeting networks by using quantum secure key-exchange mechanisms to limit interruptions and improve business resiliency.
Juniper Vice President of Engineering Domenico Di Mola said: “Quantum encryption is a promising technology to help make networks more secure against threats now and into the future, and we are thrilled to be working with Arqit on these innovations.”
Arqit FounderCEO David Williams said: “We are delighted to partner with Juniper to demonstrate how QuantumCloud can address the quantum security threats to networks and make networking technology safer and more secure. Juniper’s mission to provide secure networking makes this partnership a natural fit for Arqit and our technologies.”
Under the ‘Technology Alliance Partner Connect’ agreement, Juniper and Arqit will work together to explore and test the application of quantum security technologies, including Arqit’s QuantumCloud.
