Government agencies such as State Departments and Ministries of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) must maintain secure and reliable communication links to their remote embassies and consulates, many of which may be in countries with limited network infrastructure capabilities and IT support.
As government agencies, both foreign and domestic, embrace a zero-trust security model, they are seeking advanced encryption methods to improve their overall security posture and future-proof their network infrastructure from future attacks, including those from a quantum computer.
Download the solution brief to learn how Quantum Xchange offers government agencies full and continuous, cryptographic visibility, agility, and management solutions to ensure critical headquarters-to-embassy and embassy-to-embassy communication networks and data links are protected with the highest security available.
Ensuring Ultra-Secure Communications to Remote Locations Worldwide.
In today’s interconnected world, with its rising geopolitical tensions, data has become a critical asset for governments, as well as the primary target for nefarious actors and nation states.
Government agencies such as State Departments and Ministries of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) must maintain secure and reliable communication links to their remote embassies and consulates, many of which may be in countries with limited network infrastructure capabilities and IT support.
Add to this already complex scenario local regulations and restrictions governing data transfer, unforeseen events like natural disasters, and political unrest, protecting the information flow to and from these high-target, mission-critical locations is paramount.
As government agencies, both foreign and domestic, embrace a zero-trust security model, they are seeking advanced encryption methods to improve their overall security posture and future-proof their network infrastructure from future attacks, including those from a quantum computer.
Delivering the Future of Encryption Embassy by Embassy
Quantum Xchange offers government agencies full and continuous, cryptographic visibility, agility, and management solutions to ensure critical headquarters-to-embassy and embassy-to-embassy communication networks and data links are protected with the highest security available.
DISCOVER
Encryption assessment platform. End-to-end crypto evaluation and visibility via sensored-based monitoring.
DEPLOY
Phio Trusted Xchange (TX) provides ultra-secure, quantum-safe key delivery over any network to secure critical communications.
MANAGE
Holistic and continuous cryptographic managemement through policy and control (roadmap).
Phio TX acts as a technology overlay that enables out-of-band key delivery and immediate risk diversification. Working alongside any key accepting appliance or virtual machine the 140–2 & 3 validated technology sends a second symmetric key with quantum entropy, out-of-band, down a separate quantum-protected tunnel and mesh network.
Bringing next-generation quantum-safe security to every data link, interconnect and VPN tunnel anywhere in the world.
The crypto-agile key delivery and management system supports encryption keys generated by any source, protected by any method (PQC, QKD, or a combination), to update any connection (existing routing, VPN, and SD-WAN infrastructures) to quantum-safety without requiring an additional hop in the wire. Phio TX also provides continuous, automated, and audited secure symmetric key rotation.
With Phio TX, State Departments and MOFA users can switch or upgrade cryptographic algorithms without downing their data networks or incurring packet drops or added latency. The patented technology brings the cryptography out of the data plane and puts it into a crypto control plane which can run over an out-of-band management network, or a separate quantumsafe connection on the data network. This affords administrators a convenient, easy-to-use, and auditable layer for managing, controlling, and visualizing enterprise-wide cryptography usage through policy, while making it exponentially more difficult for adversaries to eavesdrop.
Deployed as a passive listener on the network, CipherInsights from Quantum Xchange is delivered as a virtual appliance which connects to a packet broker or SPAN/TAP. Unlike scanning tools that can only inspect certificates and cryptographic libraries that are installed on endpoints, CipherInsights performs analysis on traffic as it passes by, identifying and classifying the encryption, both sanctioned and unsanctioned, that is in use on the network.
State Departments and MOFAs can quickly determine if their network is out of compliance with industry and/or government regulations. This gives users near-immediate insights into how encryption is operating, not just how it is deployed, across their networks and presents a clear understanding of where and what type of remediation is required.
CipherInsights’ continuous network monitoring, crypto discovery, and real-time risk assessment brings clarity to cyber risk blind spots.
