About Arqit
Arqit is a pioneering cybersecurity company that secures the world’s critical data, anywhere, always. Arqit has delivered a series of world firsts that show how advanced encryption can be made simple, scalable and ready for deployment across government, defence, telecoms and enterprise.
Its patented Symmetric Key Agreement (SKA-Platform™) changes how encryption works by allowing organisations to protect data, networks and communications against both today’s cyber threats and tomorrow’s quantum risks. In a market dominated by prototypes and promises, the solution is commercially available today. Arqit has built partnerships and deployments with the likes of Intel, Adtran, Sparkle, Equus, Vodafone and Oracle to turn breakthrough science into commercial deployments.
With 2025 named the UN International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, advances in quantum computing are accelerating global awareness of the threat to today’s encryption. Gartner has listed post quantum cryptography as one of the year’s most important security priorities*, while IDC named Arqit as one of the companies turning theory into practice**.
The Challenge
Quantum computing will unlock extraordinary capabilities but also threatens the cryptography that underpins digital trust. Once quantum machines reach maturity, they could decrypt the systems that secure communications and critical infrastructure.
The threat is not distant. Cybercriminals are already using Store Now Decrypt Later tactics, stealing encrypted data today to unlock when quantum computers become available. Many organisations assume that quantum-safe protection is too complex or premature to adopt. Arqit proves the opposite providing a “Detect → Protect → Comply” proposition for organisations.
Detect: Encryption Intelligence
Arqit’s Encryption Intelligence technology allows organisations to understand their cryptographic exposure with precision. It identifies where current encryption is vulnerable, highlights risk deltas, maps dependencies across networks and applications.
Combined with its AI-driven risk management capability, this gives enterprises a real time understanding of their present security posture and creates of help create a practical post-quantum migration plans without disruption.
Protect: NetworkSecure™ and SKA-Platform
Arqit’s SKA-Platform provides a simple and secure way to generate encryption keys instantly at both ends of a connection, removing the need to share or store them centrally. It scales easily, being network agnostic, it fits into existing infrastructure and supports a zero-trust approach.
For organisations that need to guarantee data sovereignty, control and future proofing, Arqit NetworkSecure delivers quantum safe connectivity. It allows critical data and communications to remain secure across borders, supply chains and distributed environments.
Notable milestones include:
§ TI Sparkle commercial launch of Network as a Service, QSI (Quantum Save Over Internet) redefining secure connectivity, powered by Arqit.
§ Partnership with Intel and Equus to build the first quantum safe system for mobile access to classified data
§ Launch of the SKA Edge Controller to bring quantum safe communications to defence operations
§ Integration of SKA into TDX – Intel Xeon D processors to secure edge and telecom networks
§ Joining the Oracle Defence Ecosystem to expand innovation across defence and government
Comply: Continuous assurance and migration support
Arqit’s approach enables organisations to meet evolving regulatory expectations and security standards. By combining Encryption Intelligence with SKA based protection, enterprises can continually measure risk, monitor cryptographic transitions and modernise without guesswork.
This supports compliance with emerging post-quantum security requirements while strengthening existing systems today. It also gives boards, CISOs and technology leaders verified evidence of progress as they migrate from legacy encryption to quantum-safe architectures.
Turning firsts into impact
Arqit has consistently converted scientific innovation into commercially ready, scalable capability. It has shown that quantum-safe security is not experimental, it is operational and commercially proven.
By uniting deep science with practical delivery, Arqit is leading the worlds transition to a safer digital future and has turned quantum security from an idea into an industry reality.
