Sparkle announced the pre-order launch of its Quantum Safe over Internet (QSI) service. This is the first product in its Network as a Service (NaaS) suite which soon will include additional use cases.
Establishing quantum-secure connections represents a crucial step forward in communications security. This solution, already tested on an international VPN between Italy and Germany and on Sparkle's metropolitan fiber-optic network in Athens, allows companies to benefit from MEF-compliant on-demand Internet access protected by post-quantum encryption.
With the Network as a Service approach, customers will have the opportunity to use the service through a dedicated portal or via API, in an agile, flexible, and fully automated way. The QSI service, currently available for pre-order at points of presence in Paris, London, and Athens, will enable customers to access Sparkle’s network, establish secure connections between their offices, and utilize cloud resources with assurance against quantum attacks.
“In a rapidly evolving world, increasingly interconnected and supported by artificial intelligence, digital experience, data certification, and security are continuously challenged,” said Daniele Mancuso, Chief of Marketing & Product Management at Sparkle. “Quantum-Safe over Internet combines NaaS experience with post-quantum encryption, positioning Sparkle at the forefront of protecting communications against the risks associated with the advent of quantum computing.”
Burra was created as a platform for consolidating IT services companies in Southeast Europe, with a commercial focus on Western Europe and the United States. Its first members, Devōt, Tacta and CoreLine, continue to run their existing businesses while integration is planned gradually, primarily through new projects. Sven Marušić says the aim is not to turn founders into corporate employees, but to build a larger organisation in which they remain shareholders and drivers of growth.
Telecom operators are no longer using AI only for network optimisation and routine operations. They are applying it to faster product development and customer conversations. Matija Ražem says AI enables prototypes in hours, quicker market testing, and automation of many standard support questions. The next step may be a world where personal digital agents interact with agents from telecoms, banks and other large organisations.
ReversingLabs is developing agent-based approaches to security operations, while warning that the expertise needed to manage such systems will become even more critical.
