IBM and STC Group have deepened their partnership to reinforce Saudi Arabia’s telecommunications infrastructure against emerging quantum-era cybersecurity threats. As part of the collaboration, STC has adopted IBM’s quantum-safe cybersecurity solutions to assess and strengthen its existing data protection and encryption systems, preparing for a future when advanced quantum computing could undermine traditional cryptographic safeguards.

The initiative has led to the creation of a quantum-safe security framework designed to detect and mitigate cryptographic vulnerabilities before they emerge. By integrating cutting-edge cryptographic tools, quantum-resistant protocols, and strong governance practices aligned with NIST standards, the framework embeds security into the…
