Acronis will work with ID Quantique to bring the ability to withstand quantum computer attacks to cloud solutions – making Acronis the first cloud data protection solution provider to offer this. This capability will help companies protect the ever-growing volume of data located outside the company premises protected by a firewall and across numerous mobile devices, while also protecting it from unauthorized users – including hackers and cyber thieves – so that they cannot gain access to Acronis customers' data either in transit or in the cloud. **Security is the greatest concern when adopting cloud solutions** As more and more companies use the cloud for data backup and recovery, ensuring data confidentiality and security is a necessary requirement for the adoption of cloud solutions. Many IT managers and security professionals still have serious concerns about data security and confidentiality in the cloud. A recent [survey conducted by the Cloud Security Alliance](http://www.securityweek.com/data-security-concerns-still-challenge-cloud-adoption-survey) found that 73 percent of IT professionals are concerned about the level of data security, which is the main reason not to move to cloud solutions**.** At the same time, today’s security technologies are not keeping pace with the sophistication of modern hackers or with advanced technologies such as quantum computing. The U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) recently warned government agencies and businesses in the United States that all email, medical and financial records, and online transactions will soon be vulnerable to threats using quantum computing techniques, and that current encryption techniques will not protect them in the future. As a result, the NSA [announced plans](https://www.nsa.gov/ia/programs/suiteb_cryptography/index.shtml) to transition to quantum-resistant algorithms to ensure a higher level of protection in the future. “Organizations are dealing with the difficult situation of having to improve cybersecurity safeguards and oversight while simultaneously implementing new solutions that often include cloud services,” says Jon Oltsik, principal analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group. “To ensure that data confidentiality and security are never compromised, CIOs and IT administrators will work only with cloud service providers that have incorporated security as an essential part of their technologies and service offerings.” **Bringing quantum encryption to cloud data protection** Acronis focuses on providing companies with comprehensive data protection through an integrated suite of solutions that includes backup, disaster recovery, and file synchronization and sharing. Acronis believes in comprehensive data protection. This requires not only the most advanced data security, but also protection of company data from external threats and data confidentiality to ensure that companies retain continuous control over their data – in transit, in the cloud, and on mobile devices. Acronis and ID Quantique will use encryption secure against quantum attacks to provide the following enhanced security features for Acronis cloud data protection solutions: - **Quantum-resistant encryption** – ensures that customers using Acronis cloud data protection will be safe from future cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities thanks to the most advanced encryption technology for data transfers to and from Acronis data centers. - **Quantum key distribution** – also known as quantum cryptography, provides future-proof security for the backbone network connecting Acronis data centers worldwide. - **Quantum random number generators** – produce high-quality, highly secure, high-entropy keys for users, helping protect against unauthorized access to data protected by Acronis solutions. “Quantum computing opens up a new area of cybersecurity threats that companies cannot ignore – especially those moving more IT activities, such as data protection, to the cloud,” said Serguei Beloussov, co-founder and CEO of Acronis. “Acronis believes that confidentiality requirements and data protection are critical to ensuring comprehensive cloud data protection, and therefore works with leading companies in this field, such as ID Quantique, to innovate in areas such as encryption secure against quantum attacks. The results ensure that customers of our cloud solutions receive the most secure solutions in the industry and, most importantly, that they are also protected against future attacks and threats.” “Approaches that ensure security against quantum attacks are absolutely essential to guarantee long-term data confidentiality,” said Gregoire Ribordy, CEO of ID Quantique. “This type of solution will become the de facto standard for cloud services, and Acronis, as the first company to enter this field, will have a significant competitive advantage.” **More information about Acronis can be found here:** - Follow @Acronis on Twitter: - Like us on Facebook: - Follow us on LinkedIn: - Subscribe to the Acronis Blog: blog.acronis.com/ **About ID Quantique**\ ID Quantique (IDQ) is a global leader in quantum-resistant cryptographic solutions designed to protect data in the distant future.
