Using PPKs for Post-Quantum Security in Palo Alto Networks NGFWs

Accelerating advancements in quantum computing are making the prospect of breaking classical cryptography more real with every passing today.

Organizations rely on firewall site-to-site IPSec VPN security to protect their critical data. However, threat actors are already storing encrypted communications today to decrypt in the future, using quantum computing or other advanced capabilities (aka “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later”). IPSec VPNs are already beginning to incorporate new PQC standards to address this threat, but this approach alone is not sufficient.

Unlock the full potential of your Palo Alto Networks Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) with Quantropi’s QiSpace SEQUR PPK Generator to quantum secure your data using the global IETF RFC 8784 standard. RFC 8784 is recommended by government agencies including NIAP and the NSA.

Quantropi’s PPK Generator is an immediate solution to protect critical data, one that isn’t dependent on FIPS certification timelines and provides a defense-in-depth approach in conjunction with new PQC standards.

During this webinar, attendees learned about:

• The quantum threat to encryption and implications for firewalls
• The IETF RFC 8784 standard and how it provides post-quantum security
• Use Cases for protecting critical data
• Installing and Configuring the Quantropi PPK Generator for Palo Alto Networks NGFWs
• How to procure the Quantropi PPK Generator

Thought leaders from Quantropi and Palo Alto Networks discussed how to use PPKs to secure your Palo Alto Networks NGFW and start your transition to quantum-safe.
