Arqit and SoftIron Partner to sell more secure data center deployments
02 Mai 2024 - 1:00PM
Arqit Quantum Inc. (Nasdaq: ARQQ, ARQQW) (Arqit), a leader in
quantum-safe encryption, and SoftIron, the worldwide leader in true
private cloud infrastructure announce a partnership to enable
customers to make a seamless migration to quantum safe cloud tasks,
with a priority focus on the defense sector. Arqit’s quantum-safe
products will be available as part of the SoftIron Partner
Marketplace alongside other industry-leading solutions.
SoftIron has integrated Arqit's Symmetic Key
Agreement Platform (SKA-Platform™) into HyperCloud, SoftIron’s
ready-to-run true private cloud experience, deployed on-premises or
on the battlefield. This brings the security of symmetric
encryption across data center and edge compute environments without
the need for additional infrastructure. It ensures customers win
from optimal security, pace of deployment, performance, scalability
and sovereignty.
The technology represents a strongly
complementary offering and both companies will leverage their
existing industry partnerships and defense customers.
"We are delighted to partner with SoftIron to
bring Symmetric Key Agreement to the deployable cloud. The
combination offers customers huge advantage in rapid and secure
deployment of SoftIron’s impressive capability, compatible with the
requirements of standards laid down for National Security Systems,
and great synergy in our customer bases," said David
Williams, Chairman and CEO of Arqit Limited.
"We are excited to have Arqit join the
SoftIron+Co Partner Program as a Technology Alliance Partner (TAP)
that will enable all of Arqit’s best-in-class encryption solutions
to our customers," said Phil Straw, CEO of
SoftIron. "By integrating Arqit's SKA-Platform™ with our
true private cloud solutions, we are empowering organizations to
stay ahead of evolving cyber threats and ensure the integrity and
confidentiality of their data in rapid on-premises and battlefield
deployments. Complying with the new standards laid down for
National Security Systems in using symmetric encryption but in a
manner that is flexible and fast gives us an important edge."

About Arqit
Arqit Quantum Inc. (Nasdaq: ARQQ, ARQQW) (Arqit)
supplies a unique encryption software service which makes the
communications links of any networked device, cloud machine or data
at rest secure against both current and future forms of attack on
encryption – even from a quantum computer. Compatible with NSA CSfC
Components and meeting the demands of NSA CSfC Symmetric Key
Management Requirements Annexe 1.2. and RFC 8784, Arqit’s Symmetric
Key Agreement Platform uses a lightweight software agent that
allows end point devices to create encryption keys locally in
partnership with any number of other devices. The keys are
computationally secure and facilitate Zero Trust Network Access. It
can create limitless volumes of keys with any group size and
refresh rate and can regulate the secure entrance and exit of a
device in a group. The agent is lightweight and will thus run on
the smallest of end point devices. The product sits within a
growing portfolio of granted patents. It also works in a standards
compliant manner which does not oblige customers to make a
disruptive rip and replace of their technology. Arqit is winner of
two GSMA Global Mobile Awards, The Best Mobile Security Solution
and The CTO Choice Award for Outstanding Mobile Technology, at
Mobile World Congress 2024, recognised for groundbreaking
innovation at the 2023 Institution of Engineering and Technology
Awards and winner of the National Cyber Awards’ Innovation in Cyber
Award and the Cyber Security Awards’ Cyber Security Software
Company of the Year Award. Arqit is ISO 27001 Standard certified.
