In an era of rapid technological advancement, traditional VPN solutions are susceptible to cryptographic attacks from quantum computers, exposing vulnerabilities in today’s encryption standards and putting the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive data at risk.
Government institutions must confront these challenges head-on to safeguard sensitive information against the emerging quantum threats. These include sectors such as chemicals, civil nuclear, communications, defence, emergency services, energy, finance, food, government, health, space, transport and water.
Complexity in Network Topology
The complexity of network topology such as power grids, transportation systems or financial networks creates challenges in managing and sustaining their stability, resilience and security.
Security of Critical Systems
Critical infrastructures are often targeted by malicious actors seeking to disrupt services or gain unauthorised access. The presence of multiple entry points, interconnected nodes, and diverse communication paths increases the potential attack surface, making it more challenging to safeguard the network against cyber threats and future proof their infrastructures.
Scalability
Spanning large geographic areas, encompassing multiple nodes, devices and interconnections, the sheer scale and diversity of these networks makes it difficult to accurately visualise, analyse and troubleshoot the network.
Protection of Sensitive Data
Critical infrastructure organisations handle sensitive data related to national security and public safety. Ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of this data against Man-In-The-Middle (MITM) attacks is paramount.
Regulatory Compliance
Compliance with industry-specific regulations and government mandates, such as GDPR, PCI-DSS, NIS, etc is crucial for maintaining the security and resilience of critical infrastructure systems.
High Latency
As the network expands, the interconnections become more intricate, requiring advanced routing algorithms and protocols to optimise data flow and prevent congestion. This often results in speed degradation across traffic flows.
Working with our Strategic Partner, QDex labs, BlockAPT’s single platform Quantum Secure VPN (QSVPN) solution utilising the MTE® (MicroToken Exchange) technology, means organisations can deploy next-gen communication & asset protection for data in motion, or data at rest ensuring an end to end secure digital infrastructure.
MTE® generates instantly obsolete, meaningless, random streams of values that can be used to replace any form of data transmitted between endpoints or can be utilised as single use encryption keys.
MTE® technology, which is FIPS 140-3 conformance tested, is a highly scalable solution providing a low latency and added layer of security which complements existing cyber protocols with real-time speeds.
