Despite safeguarding sensitive data for decades, traditional encryption methods are under threat as the rise of quantum computing continues.
Quantum computers, capable of processing vast calculations at speeds impossible for today’s classical systems, are set to render standard encryption algorithms obsolete, posing a transformative challenge to current cybersecurity defences.
In light of this shift, some cybercriminals are adopting “harvest now, decrypt later” tactics, stockpiling encrypted data today in the hope of breaking it once quantum power becomes available.
This means organisations in sectors like financial services, healthcare, telecommunications, and government — where data sensitivity is exceptionally high and its value persists over time — quantum-resilient cybersecurity is an immediate necessity.
Introducing Fortinet FortiOS
FortiOS is the foundation of Fortinet’s Security Fabric, delivering a unified and high-performance cybersecurity platform that seamlessly converges security and networking functions.
Fortinet has expanded FortiOS, its flagship operating system, to provide advanced defences against quantum-enabled cyber threats.
With the release of FortiOS 7.6, organisations leveraging FortiGate Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) and Fortinet Secure SD-WAN now access built-in quantum-safe features.
