Arqit Quantum Inc. and SoftIron announced a partnership to enable customers to make a seamless migration to quantum safe cloud tasks, with a priority focus on the defense sector. Arqit's quantum-safe products will be available as part of the SoftIron Partner Marketplace alongside other solutions. SoftIron has integrated Arqit's Symmetic Key Agreement Platform (SKA-Platform) into HyperCloud, SoftIron's ready-to-run true private cloud experience, deployed on-premises or on the battlefield.

This brings the security of symmetric encryption across data center and edge compute environments without the need for additional infrastructure. It ensures customers win from optimal security, pace of deployment, performance, scalability and sovereignty. The technology represents a strongly complementary offering and both companies will leverage their existing industry partnerships and defense customers.
