Arqit Integrates NetworkSecure with 6WIND Router for Quantum-Safe VPN Services
Arqit has integrated its NetworkSecure™ quantum-safe encryption with 6WIND’s Virtual Service Router to deliver scalable encrypted VPNs over universal CPE and cloud infrastructure. The solution addresses “harvest now, decrypt later” cyber threats and targets enterprise, telco and B2B connectivity applications, enhancing Arqit’s presence in telecom encryption services.
1. Strategic Collaboration
Arqit and 6WIND have entered a strategic partnership to deliver end-to-end quantum-safe networking services. This collaboration combines Arqit’s post-quantum key generation technology with 6WIND’s high-performance Virtual Service Router portfolio to address emerging cryptographic threats.
2. Integrated Quantum-Safe VPN Services
The joint solution offers scalable IPsec VPN services deployable on universal customer premises equipment (uCPE) and in virtualized cloud environments. It supports site-to-site connectivity, hub-and-spoke architectures and high-availability deployments, enabling service providers to offer turnkey encrypted networking.
3. Implications for Telecom Security
By tackling “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks, the offering strengthens Arqit’s position in the telecom security market and opens new revenue channels through service provider partnerships. The collaboration accelerates adoption of quantum-resilient encryption and may drive incremental contracts with enterprise and B2B customers.
