QuantumGate, an Abu Dhabi-based quantum-safe cybersecurity company and a subsidiary of VentureOne, the venture builder of the Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC), has announced a strategic collaboration with NEC Corporation, a leading global IT and network transformation services provider, to accelerate the deployment of post-quantum security, sovereign cybersecurity and cyber-resilience solutions for strategic organisations across critical infrastructure and telecommunications in the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The collaboration addresses two risks that security leaders increasingly need to manage together. The first is long-term quantum risk: sensitive data with long confidentiality requirements may be exposed once cryptographically relevant quantum computers become available. The second is the current threat environment, in which state-sponsored actors, AI-enabled malware and coordinated hacktivist groups are targeting government, energy, telecommunications, transport and other critical sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
QuantumGate and NEC\u2019s GCC branch will support organisations across four priority areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cryptographic asset visibility and inventory:<\/strong> Identifying, mapping and assessing cryptographic assets across networks, applications, devices and data to establish a baseline for quantum-risk exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Post-quantum readiness planning:<\/strong> Developing actionable migration roadmaps aligned with regulatory frameworks, international standards and sector-specific compliance requirements, while addressing cryptographic agility and sovereign control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Scalable migration programmes:<\/strong> Expanding pilot implementations into phased, multi-year programmes that support the transition to quantum-safe cryptography across complex enterprise environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sovereign cyber-resilience deployment:<\/strong> Deploying QuantumGate’s security technologies alongside post-quantum migration to strengthen protection across identity, networks and endpoints while giving organisations greater control over critical security infrastructure. This includes phishing-resistant password-less authentication, QSphere for sovereign post-quantum secure access and Secure VMI for device-independent enterprise mobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n NEC GCC will lead deployment and integration, supporting implementation and operationalisation within mission-critical environments. Its experience in large-scale infrastructure transformation will help organisations move from assessment to execution, from cryptographic discovery through to secure access and enterprise mobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Janne Hirvimies, Chief Technology Officer of QuantumGate, said: “Over the past 12 months, we’ve seen clear progress and growing awareness around quantum security, and the focus is now shifting to execution. Migration is a complex, multi-year effort and it builds on the same foundation as strong cyber-resilience today. Together with NEC GCC, we are helping organisations reduce exposure across identity, networks and endpoints while building the cryptographic infrastructure they will rely on in the quantum era.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tamer Bdran, Senior Vice President and Managing Director at NEC GCC, said: “Critical infrastructure and telecommunications operators need a partner who can take them from assessment to secure, scalable deployment. By combining NEC’s systems integration capabilities with QuantumGate’s post-quantum and sovereign cybersecurity technologies, we can support government entities, enterprises and telecommunications operators through every stage of that transition.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" QuantumGate, an Abu Dhabi-based quantum-safe cybersecurity company and a subsidiary of VentureOne, the venture builder of the Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC), has announced a strategic collaboration with NEC Corporation, a leading global IT and network transformation services provider, to accelerate the deployment of post-quantum security, sovereign cybersecurity and cyber-resilience solutions for strategic organisations across […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4189,"featured_media":1188,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,20,39],"tags":[831,1217,93,1218,1219,1220,1221,1222,1223],"class_list":["post-1187","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-enterprise-security","category-middle-east","category-top-stories","tag-critical-infrastructure","tag-cryptographic-agility","tag-cyber-resilience","tag-nec-corporation","tag-post-quantum-security","tag-quantum-safe-cybersecurity","tag-quantumgate","tag-sovereign-cybersecurity","tag-telecommunications-security"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-10-23 06:31:43","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.intelligenttechchannels.com\/middle-east-africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1187","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.intelligenttechchannels.com\/middle-east-africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.intelligenttechchannels.com\/middle-east-africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.intelligenttechchannels.com\/middle-east-africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4189"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.intelligenttechchannels.com\/middle-east-africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1187"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.intelligenttechchannels.com\/middle-east-africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1187\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1189,"href":"https:\/\/www.intelligenttechchannels.com\/middle-east-africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1187\/revisions\/1189"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.intelligenttechchannels.com\/middle-east-africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1188"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.intelligenttechchannels.com\/middle-east-africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1187"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.intelligenttechchannels.com\/middle-east-africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1187"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.intelligenttechchannels.com\/middle-east-africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1187"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
