New international partnership positions Warpcom at the forefront of this emerging technology. Portugal has been a global university reference in quantum networks, which should become massified within 5 to 10 years, increasing data and network security.
Lisbon, April 21st, 2021 – Warpcom, an Iberian ICT company with 100% Portuguese capital, is making a strong bet on quantum networks. The goal is to position itself as a leading technology integrator through partnerships with companies of reference in this sector.
“The exponential increase in computational power made possible by quantum computing opens up a world of opportunities in almost every aspect of modern life, whether in the financial and military fields or in medical and pharmaceutical research. However, it also brings with it strong threats, especially in terms of security, as this capacity can quickly break encryptions as they are implemented today, exposing governments and companies to the violation of their information”.reveals Carlos Alves Duarte, Warpcom’s CEO.
To help customers prepare for this new era, Warpcom has partnered with the world’s leading European manufacturer of quantum networks, ID Quantique, as its first partner in Portugal and Spain. With this alliance, it now includes in its offer the implementation of quantum encryption solutions, using quantum key generators.
The main objective of this offer is to ensure secure communication in terms of confidentiality, authenticity and integrity of the information transmitted between two points:
- Protecting organizations in the post-quantum era;
- Optimize the TCO and ROI investment of existing encryption solutions;
- Add a new layer of value to cybersecurity solutions by meeting the needs of different stakeholders.
“Warpcom has accumulated extensive experience in implementing and managing secure networks. We have several other technology partners with whom we are investing in further integration with quantum networks. Therefore, we believe we are in a prime position to support our customers’ transition to this new technology.”says Carlos Inocêncio, Chairman of Warpcom.
In recent years, several European programs and projects have been developed, such as the EU Quantum Communication Infrastructure and the Quantum Internet Alliance, which put into practice some real applications in the world of quantum networks. This technology is seen as the technology of the future that will ensure the sovereignty of nations. For this reason, Warpcom is already developing some pilot projects with entities in the healthcare, financial, government, and military and homeland security sectors.
“Portugal has been a reference at the academic level with many works already done and internationally recognized by the scientific community and the industry. At Warpcom we want to continue to be the spearhead in implementing this type of technology in the Iberian market”, says Carlos Alves Duarte.
Grégoire Ribordy, CEO and Co-Founder of ID Quantique, points out that “We are very proud of our partnership with Warpcom. Sensitive and confidential data is increasingly in danger due to the growing threat of cyber-attacks, which has increasingly caused organizations, especially financial and governmental, to be highly concerned about this issue. Our quantum technology provides the most secure encryption keys today, and in the age of quantum computing, ensuring the highest level of trust for consumers and entities. Our collaboration will support customers who are aware of the growing need for security.”
