Senetas and Thales launch first quantum resistant network encryption solution
hales and Senetas have
T collaborated to launch the world ’ s first quantum resistant network encryption solution , capable of protecting customer data ( at speeds up to 100 Gbps ) against future quantum attacks .
Regarded the most significant threat to cybersecurity , Quantum Computing looks set to render many of today ’ s security methods , such as encryption , obsolete .
With estimates that a working quantum computer outside a lab environment will be a reality within the next five to 10 years , minimum security requirement standards are being developed to protect data in a quantum world .
Andrew Wilson , CEO , Senetas , said : “ As Quantum Computing becomes a reality , organisations around the world should develop a quantum security strategy and start planning to implement quantum resistant encryption sooner rather than later . This is the first to market highspeed network encryption platform that provides quantum resistant encryption
with today ’ s encryption technology . Our government , defence and business customers can make a secure transition to a future quantum-safe world knowing data is protected for the long-term .”

In addition , 2.7 million malware attacks were identified and stopped , while over 1,600 online-related banking malware threats were blocked . The report also shows that home networks in the UAE were a major draw for cybercriminals looking to pivot to corporate systems , devices and networks .
Across the emirates , Trend Micro ’ s Smart Home Network ( SHN ) solutions blocked more than 25 million SHN inbound and outbound attacks combined , preventing 13 million such SHN events for hackers to target or control home devices from executing malware , obtaining sensitive information , intercepting communications , or launching external attacks . u www . intelligentciso . com
