AT&T and Cisco Launch First PQC-Enabled SD-WAN Service in North America
AT&T has partnered with Cisco to launch North America's first post-quantum cryptography (PQC)-enabled SD-WAN service, aimed at helping businesses prepare for cybersecurity threats posed by quantum computing. The service integrates Cisco's PQC technology into AT&T's network infrastructure, allowing enterprises to future-proof their data against quantum-era attacks. This initiative addresses growing concerns that quantum computers could eventually break current encryption standards, exposing sensitive corporate and government data. The service is now available to AT&T business customers across North America.
