“The need for secure and robust communication systems with high availability is greater than ever before. A quantum-resilient solution is therefore a necessity for our NATO customers to uphold their digital sovereignty. This approval confirms that our latest version of Sectra Tiger/S withstands today’s and future threats,” says Jeroen de Muijnck, Managing Director of Sectra Communications BV.
Quantum computers will have the capability to perform certain types of calculations much more efficiently than today’s computers. Such computers could thus pose a threat to current encryption methods, and quantum-resilient solutions are therefore perceived to be one of the key traits of future-proof confidentiality. The latest version of Sectra Tiger/S is also approved by the Dutch security authority and the EU for use up to and including the classification level SECRET.
