Arqit announced it has joined the Fortinet Fabric-Ready Partner Program as a Technology Alliance Partner and completed its first integration between Arqit QuantumCloud(TM) and Fortinet's FortiGate Next Generation Firewalls (NGFWs). Arqit's QuantumCloud(TM) is the world's first fully scalable cloud based symmetric key agreement platform, capable of creating zero trust quantum safe encryption keys at any device. By integrating QuantumCloud(TM) with Fortinet's FortiGate Next-generation Firewalls, the resulting solution enables unbreakable quantum-safe encrypted connectivity between customer locations, keeping safe data both at rest and in transit.

Arqit's QuantumCloud(TM) uses unique symmetric key agreement software to provide quantum-safe keys which are consumed by Fortinet devices during the formation of secure tunnels. A Commitment to An Open Ecosystem Technology alliance partners are a key part of the Fortinet Security Fabric, the industry's performing cybersecurity mesh platform, and enable the development of integrated solutions to support secure heterogeneous vendor environments. Open integration helps to simplify IT and operational technology environments to obtain enhanced visibility and comprehensive security across networks, endpoints and clouds.

The Fortinet Fabric-Ready Partner Program provides partners with program infrastructure, resources, and tools to integrate with the Security Fabric and develop joint solutions as part of the Fortinet Open Ecosystem. About Arqit Arqit supplies a unique quantum safe encryption Platform-as-a-Service which makes the communications links or data at rest of any networked device or cloud machine secure against current and future forms of attack -- even from a quantum computer. Arqit's product, QuantumCloud(TM), enables any device to download a lightweight software agent, which can create encryption keys in partnership with any number of other devices.

The keys are computationally secure, optionally one-time use and zero trust. QuantumCloud(TM) can create limitless volumes of keys in limitless group sizes and can regulate the secure entrance and exit of a device in a group. Arqit believes it is the only company in the market to have achieved Independent Assurance Review of its Security Proof demonstrating that the software can produce encryption keys which are zero trust and provably secure, i.e. permanently safe against attack from even a full scale quantum computer.
