QGate x NEC Collaboration-1
QuantumGate and NEC GCC have established a strategic collaboration to accelerate the deployment of post-quantum security and sovereign cyber resilience solutions in the United Arab Emirates. The initiative focuses on protecting critical infrastructure and telecommunications operators from emerging cryptographic risks.
The partnership addresses critical vulnerabilities that security leaders face in modern computing environments. Specifically, sensitive records with long confidentiality requirements face future exposure once cryptographically capable quantum machines become operational. Meanwhile, organizations must defend against active threats, including malware utilizing artificial intelligence and coordinated state-sponsored cyber intrusions.
Expanding Post-Quantum Security Across Critical Sectors
The joint project delivers structured support across four defined operational areas. First, teams conduct cryptographic asset visibility to map and evaluate network defenses. Second, they construct readiness migration roadmaps aligned with global standards and regulatory mandates.
Furthermore, scalable multi-year programs guide organizations through the transition away from legacy encryption. Through phased rollouts, the deployment provides post-quantum security capabilities tailored to complex enterprise environments.
Deploying Sovereign Cyber Resilience
QuantumGate provides specialized technologies including phishing-resistant passwordless authentication, QSphere for sovereign secure access, and Secure VMI for device-independent mobility. Consequently, organizations maintain local authority over critical operational data.
“Over the past 12 months, we have seen clear progress and growing awareness around quantum security, and the focus is now shifting to execution. Migration is a complex, multi-year effort, and it builds on the same foundation as strong cyber resilience today. Together with NEC GCC, we are helping organizations reduce exposure across identity, networks and endpoints while building the cryptographic infrastructure they will rely on in the quantum era.”
Janne Hirvimies, Chief Technology Officer of QuantumGate
Systems Integration and Implementation
NEC GCC directs the technical integration and operational rollout across mission-critical networks. Drawing on decades of regional systems integration experience, the company assists entities moving from initial asset discovery to active mobility management.
“Critical infrastructure and telecommunications operators need a partner who can take them from assessment to secure, scalable deployment. By combining NEC’s systems integration capabilities with QuantumGate’s post-quantum and sovereign cybersecurity technologies, we can support government entities, enterprises and telecommunications operators through every stage of that transition.”

Future Infrastructure Readiness
As digital networks expand, protecting essential utilities and telecommunications systems remains an operational priority across the region. The initiative helps organizations build long-term post-quantum security frameworks to prevent future cryptographic breaches.
