  • •Toshiba's new solution enhances IPsec VPN security against quantum threats.
  • •The integration uses both PQC and QKD for improved encryption methods.
  • •The solution aims to provide a non-disruptive upgrade path for existing networks.

On October 6, 2026, Toshiba announced a quantum-safe communications solution developed with SpeQtral and HPE to protect Critical Information Infrastructure (CII) and government networks. This solution addresses the growing risks of quantum computing, particularly the 'harvest now, decrypt later' threat to IPsec VPN communications. The integration combines Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) and Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) to enhance security without disrupting existing network infrastructure. The solution was validated for interoperability and secure operation, providing a pathway for organizations to strengthen cyber resilience. The collaboration aims to help organizations transition to quantum-resilient communications as quantum threats evolve.
