QuantumGate and NEC GCC Partner on Post-Quantum Security in the UAE

Insider Brief

• QuantumGate and NEC GCC have entered a strategic collaboration focused on post-quantum security, sovereign cybersecurity and cyber resilience for critical infrastructure and telecommunications in the UAE.
• The companies will work across cryptographic asset inventory, post-quantum readiness planning, phased migration programs and sovereign cyber resilience deployments.
• NEC GCC will support deployment and integration while QuantumGate provides post-quantum and cybersecurity technologies for identity, networks and endpoints.

QuantumGate, a quantum-safe cybersecurity firm based in Abu Dhabi and a subsidiary of VentureOne, has entered a strategic collaboration with NEC Corporation’s GCC branch, the companies announced. The partnership is focused on accelerating the rollout of post-quantum security, sovereign cybersecurity, and cyber resilience solutions for organizations operating in critical infrastructure and telecommunications across the United Arab Emirates.

The joint effort targets two categories of risk, according to the announcement. One is the long-term threat posed by quantum computing, data encrypted today with long confidentiality requirements could become vulnerable once cryptographically relevant quantum computers arrive. The other is the current threat landscape, where state-sponsored actors, AI-driven malware, and organized hacktivist campaigns are actively targeting government, energy, telecommunications, transport, and other critical sectors.
