Telecommunications
5G, high-speed networks, IoT, edge and cloud computing have created a significant surface area for attacks, which requires simple and scalable encryption as a defence. Cloud-based symmetric key agreement can strengthen these modern infrastructures and help reduce the likelihood of data breach fines.
Arqit SKA Platform™ key distribution is separated from the data plane, removing single-vector attacks. Telco-grade, on-demand symmetric key creation with low latency and a high refresh rate gives you and your customers confidence that your data is secure—now, and against the challenges of the future.
Challenges
Outdated legacy
networks
Legacy networks were built without zero-trust principles. Traditional static data centre firewall rules will become impractical as traffic profiles dynamically change.
Quantum threat
Encryption tunnels using PKI are overlaid on top of networks, but the ability to connect, reroute and inspect everything remains. Quantum computers are set to break encryption used widely within PKI.
Larger attack surfaces
5G, high-speed networks, IoT and edge and cloud computing have increased the security burden on telecommunications networks and have created a larger attack surface.
Data breach fines
With data breach fines growing, cloud-based symmetric key agreement can shield modern encryption methods and reduce the risk of fines.
Secure-by-design
principles at every layer
Encrypted infrastructure tunnels
Securing data in transit that is delivered at scale between two fixed endpoints.
Cloud to endpoint
Securing data between virtualized servers and networked devices.
Endpoint to endpoint
Securing data from networked device to networked device.
Application layer
encryption
Securing data from application to application.
Encrypted data storage
Securing data at rest and in transit.

How Telecoms Operators Can Avoid a Y2Q
- Every year, GSMA Intelligence collaborates with global mobile operators to assess their network transformation priorities and challenges.
- Network and user security consistently emerge as top priorities for mobile operators.
- With security issues posing risks of reputational damage, churn, and regulatory consequences, operators are under pressure to ensure robust security measures across their networks business.
- The emergence of quantum computing poses a new challenge, threatening current encryption solutions and necessitating heightened demands from operators to secure their networks and services against potential future threats.
- This white paper explores the threat landscape and mitigation strategies to ensure future proof network security.
