Quantum-Safe VPN service provides enhanced protection of customer data from future cyber-attacks as required by global security organizations, as well as long-term protection of intellectual property and sensitive data.

The service uses advanced encryption techniques recommended by leading security organizations and offers the flexibility to adapt as new security standards emerge.

Telus says this approach protects sensitive information from being captured today and potentially decoded by future quantum computers.
