Quantum cybersecurity goes live in Paris
New service aims to protect businesses from future quantum threats.
Orange Business and Toshiba Europe have launched France’s first commercial quantum-safe network service in Paris.
The Orange Quantum Defender, now living in the greater Paris region, aims to shield organisations from cyber threats posed by future quantum computing capabilities.
The service combines Toshiba’s Quantum Key Distribution and Post-Quantum Cryptography technologies to protect sensitive data with a multi-layered approach. A major French financial institution already uses the network to safeguard its critical infrastructure.
After years of testing, the partners confirmed the system works over existing fibre networks, cutting costs and easing enterprise adoption.
Leaders at both companies say the launch marks a turning point in cybersecurity preparedness for the quantum age.
