Nokia and SK Broadband deploy quantum secure network to protect Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power’s IT infrastructure
Nokia today announced that Nokia and SK Broadband have deployed a leased line network for Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power (KHNP) to enhance data security. Completed in August 2024, this deployment enables KHNP to protect its network against existing and emerging cyber threats, including quantum computing-based cyberattacks.
Nokia’s Quantum-Safe Network solution, which uses a defense-in-depth approach with advanced network cryptography for protection against sophisticated cyber threats. The key technologies used in this project include Nokia's transmission equipment, interconnect routers, and service access systems. Nokia’s Network Services Platform (NSP) also helped in simplifying network operations and management.
“The integration of Nokia Quantum-Safe MACsec cryptographic technologies with KHNP’s network will significantly enhance the security and reliability of South Korea’s critical energy infrastructure. Advanced technologies, like quantum-safe networks, are becoming pivotal in safeguarding essential systems today and in the forthcoming quantum era. Collaborating with Nokia allows us to stay ahead of the constantly shifting cybersecurity environment and help our customers access the latest quantum-safe technology advancements for secure growth.”
