Senetas and Nokia Announce Strategic Alliance to Secure Mission-Critical Networks for Defence and Government

PRNewswire
Melbourne [Australia], November 27: Senetas Corporation and Nokia today announced a strategic alliance to deliver joint capabilities specifically designed for mission-critical network environments.
This partnership combines Senetas' globally certified, quantum-resistant encryption technology with Nokia's trusted mission-critical network solutions, underpinned by its Defence-in-Depth cybersecurity framework. As countries across Asia strengthen their sovereign defence capabilities and critical infrastructure resilience, this alliance ensures end-to-end security, from core networks to the tactical edge. Nokia's Optical LAN, IP, and Optical portfolios, integrated with Senetas' encryption, will provide uncompromising protection against sophisticated cyber threats across dispersed operational environments.

Together, they are closing attack vectors from the data centre to the network edge, including critical autonomous platforms, for enhanced Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) and combat operations.
Securing the Front Line: From Core Networks to the Tactical Edge
In modern defence environments, secure communications are as critical in the field as they are in core network infrastructure. Senetas' quantum-resistant network encryption solutions extend military-grade security to every location duty calls--from submarine depths to aerial missions--arming military assets with uncompromising protection against sophisticated state and criminal cyber threats.
The joint Nokia and Senetas solution will ensure that defence and government customers can maintain data integrity and confidentiality across diverse, high-speed networks while meeting the stringent requirements for independent sovereign and international security certifications (such as FIPS, Common Criteria, or equivalent).
Commitment to Sovereign Security Technology
The partnership proudly features Senetas, an Australian-founded defence technology provider, alongside Nokia, a global leader in secure mission-critical network solutions. This combined focus on sovereign and trusted technologies ensures that customers benefit from solutions developed and controlled within secured and reliable jurisdictions. Together, this provides an essential layer of assurance and strategic advantage in highly sensitive defence and national security applications.
