Senetas Corporation and Nokia have announced a strategic alliance aimed at bolstering mission-critical network environments with advanced security solutions. This partnership merges Senetas’ globally certified, quantum-resistant encryption technology with Nokia’s trusted mission-critical network solutions, all underpinned by Nokia’s Defence-in-Depth cybersecurity framework. As nations across Asia enhance their sovereign defence capabilities and critical infrastructure resilience, this collaboration ensures end-to-end security from core networks to the tactical edge.
The integration of Nokia’s Optical LAN, IP, and Optical portfolios with Senetas’ encryption solutions provides robust protection against sophisticated cyber threats across dispersed operational environments. This joint effort closes attack vectors from the data centre to the network edge, including critical autonomous platforms, thereby enhancing Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) and combat operations.
In modern defence environments, secure communications are as vital in the field as they are in core network infrastructure. Senetas’ quantum-resistant network encryption solutions extend military-grade security to every operational location—from submarine depths to aerial missions—arming military assets with uncompromising protection against state and criminal cyber threats. The combined Nokia and Senetas solution ensures that defence and government customers can maintain data integrity and confidentiality across diverse, high-speed networks while meeting stringent requirements for independent sovereign and international security certifications, such as FIPS, Common Criteria, or equivalent.
The partnership highlights Senetas, an Australian-founded defence technology provider, and Nokia, a global leader in secure mission-critical network solutions. This collaboration focuses on sovereign and trusted technologies, providing customers with solutions developed and controlled within secured and reliable jurisdictions. It offers an essential layer of assurance and strategic advantage in highly sensitive defence and national security applications.
“Nokia is a trusted partner to the defence community, providing scalable, secure, and resilient mission-critical networks,” said Donny Janssens, Head of Partners for Network Infrastructure, Asia Pacific, Nokia. “By partnering with Senetas, we are enhancing our quantum-safe solution to address additional defence-specific needs as well as expanding our Defence-in-Depth strategy.”
Andrew Wilson, Chief Executive Officer of Senetas, added, “At Senetas, we’ve engineered highly certified encryption solutions designed for the most demanding environments. This strategic alliance will bring those capabilities into critical defence and government networks globally. By combining our independently-certified, quantum-resistant technology with Nokia’s world-class network infrastructure, we are delivering a new benchmark for secure, end-to-end communications.”
Senetas, an Australian-founded defence technology company, provides high-assurance cybersecurity solutions to defence, government, and critical infrastructure organisations in over 60 countries. Their technologies deliver certified quantum-resistant network encryption for future threats, safeguarding mission-critical communications by protecting sensitive data in motion and at rest. Distributed globally by Thales, Senetas solutions comply with the highest international security standards and certifications, including Common Criteria, FIPS, and DoDIN APL.
Nokia, a global leader in connectivity for the AI era, offers expertise across fixed, mobile, and transport networks, powered by the innovation of Nokia Bell Labs. The company is advancing connectivity to secure a brighter world.
This strategic alliance between Senetas and Nokia is poised to redefine the standards for secure communications in defence and government networks, ensuring robust protection against evolving cyber threats and setting a new benchmark for global security standards.
