Quantum Shield Rises, Fortinet Hardens Networks

Fortinet has introduced new quantum-safe capabilities within its FortiOS 7.6 operating system to help organizations defend sensitive data from quantum computing threats. The update integrates post-quantum cryptographic algorithms approved by NIST, quantum key distribution (QKD), and algorithm stacking offered at no extra cost for FortiGate NGFW and Secure SD-WAN users. Fortinet also offers a hybrid mode for gradual migration to post-quantum security and an improved user interface to simplify administration.

 With cybercriminals increasingly storing encrypted traffic for future decryption, industries like finance, healthcare, and government are being urged to adopt quantum-resilient solutions now. These enhancements build on Fortinet’s long-standing focus on unifying security and networking, enabling customers to adapt proactively in the face of rapidly advancing quantum computing threats.
