Arqit Quantum Inc. (Arqit), a globally renowned company in quantum encryption technology and Juniper Networks, an internationally recognised company in secure, AI-driven networks, have signed a ‘Technology Alliance Partner Connect’ agreement, to explore network security technology that will protect against quantum security threats.

Software-defined networking

Cyber-attackers regularly target networks, in order to disrupt business operations. Arqit Quantum Inc. and Juniper Networks will explore how network providers can apply quantum secure key-exchange mechanisms, so as to limit interruptions and improve business resiliency.

Arqit and Juniper Networks will explore how network providers can apply quantum secure key-exchange mechanisms

The increasing use of software-defined networking and the ability to dynamically provision networks, along with more secure cryptographic key exchanges, offers network providers the opportunity to provide stronger and more active authentication of devices, in order to secure organisations’ data from even a quantum attack.

Arqit Quantum - Juniper Networks partnership

Commenting on the partnership, Domenico Di Mola, the Vice President (VP) of Engineering at Juniper Networks 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 new innovations.

Arqit’s Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), 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.

Testing application of quantum security technologies

Under the ‘Technology Alliance Partner Connect’ agreement, Juniper Networks and Arqit Quantum Inc. will work together to explore and test the application of quantum security technologies, including Arqit’s innovative platform - QuantumCloud, to networks.
