Yet there are great fears that by their very nature, quantum networks present a huge security risk.

Toshiba regards the arrival of QSN as marking a major step towards delivering true scalability, flexibility and greater efficiency in the deployment of quantum-safe networks.

By simplifying the deployment of quantum-safe networks and improving the economics of expanding across multiple sites, Toshiba claims the platform helps turn the quantum-safe transition into a strategic advantage.

It believes the QSN Platform supports this expansion through a range of capabilities that reduce complexity, footprint and cost.

Toshiba QSN Platform has been designed to provide a practical path to quantum-safe network adoption.”
