The Challenge: Securing Multi-Site Defense Communication Against Quantum Threats

Why Was This a Problem?

1. Future Quantum Attacks Bypass Current Encryption – Traditional cryptographic methods will soon be obsolete against quantum computing.
2. Sensitive Inter-Site Defense Data Exchange Vulnerable – Classified intelligence must be protected from cyber espionage.
3. Remote Access to Datacenters Expands Attack Surfaces – Defense personnel require secure authentication across multiple locations.
4. Distributed Network Increases Security Complexity – Multi-site operations demand seamless encryption integration.

Why Wasn’t This Addressed Earlier?

• Complex Multi-Site, Multi-User Environments – Scaling robust security across three locations and 1200+ users was challenging.
• Concerns Over MPLS Network Integration – Existing MPLS infrastructure lacked quantum-safe encryption.
• Lack of Proven Quantum-Safe Remote Access Solutions – Traditional VPNs failed to meet future cybersecurity standards.
• Concerns Over Network Disruption & Slowdowns – Defense operations could not afford downtime during security upgrades.
