HPE, EigenQ push practical path to post-quantum security
As quantum computing advances and regulatory timelines tighten, organizations are under growing pressure to prepare their infrastructure for post-quantum cryptography. Rather than replacing entire technology estates, enterprises are looking to retrofit existing systems while building longer-term quantum security roadmaps.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. and EigenQ Inc. are working through the channel to address the needs of customers in defense, national security, critical infrastructure and regulated industries. The partnership is aimed at sectors including healthcare and financial services as organizations prepare for emerging quantum security requirements, according to Rika Nakazawa (pictured, left), chief growth officer of EigenQ.
“You say the word quantum in a room and you’ll have a million different ideas of what that means,” Nakazawa said. “But when it comes back down to the quantum security piece, it’s really about being able to do this in a frictionless and seamless way for the customer.”
Nakazawa and Robin Braun (right), vice president of AI business development at HPE, spoke with Krista Case at Black Hat USA, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. They discussed preparing for post-quantum cryptography as regulatory timelines accelerate and retrofitting existing infrastructure for quantum-resistant security. (* Disclosure below.)
