London, UK and Hsinchu, TW – January 9, 2024 – Crypto Quantique, a leading quantum-safe cybersecurity solutions provider, is delighted to announce a strategic partnership with iMQ Technology, a leading MCU and Security chip innovator, as part of its strategic expansion in the Taiwan market.
This newly-formed commercial alliance is set to leverage the advanced capabilities of Crypto Quantique's QuarkLink software, facilitating secure connectivity for businesses seeking to integrate IoT products and utilizes iMQ’s cutting-edge security chip SQ7131 with cloud services. This collaboration presents a streamlined approach for customers to seamlessly incorporate innovative features into their products and conduct secure over-the-air updates throughout the entire life cycle of their devices. Notably, this is achieved without the need for substantial investment in engineering resources or acquiring in-depth knowledge of chip-to-cloud security. iMQ’s security chip technology allows customers to dramatically upgrade their products security with the integration of a pre-provisioned SQ7131 security chip. The implementation instantly enables capabilities of identity authentication, secure communication and encrypted over the air software updates which are aligned with forthcoming regulations.
Proactively anticipating the quantum computing era, Crypto Quantique is enhancing the resilience of QuarkLink through the integration of post-quantum cryptography. These quantum-resistant techniques are designed to ensure the sustained efficacy of security measures, even in the face of potential quantum-powered attacks.
In a landscape where over 20 countries worldwide are introducing stringent IoT security regulations, including the forthcoming EU Cyber Resilience Act, which mandates a baseline security level for compliance or risk financial penalties, Crypto Quantique's chip-to-cloud IoT security emerges as a crucial solution. This not only ensures compliance with evolving regulations but also mitigates risks across global supply chains.
The collaboration between Crypto Quantique and iMQ Technology marks a significant stride toward providing robust, future-proof solutions in the rapidly evolving landscape of quantum-safe cybersecurity and IoT connectivity.
