Overview
The timeline for quantum computing is becoming increasingly tangible, and with it the urgency to rethink how sensitive data is protected. Encrypted information exchanged today may remain valuable for decades, while adversaries are already collecting data in anticipation of future breakthroughs. This reality calls for security strategies that go beyond incremental upgrades and instead provide protection rooted in fundamental physical principles.
This webinar explores how Q*Bird is leading the transition toward truly quantum-secure communication through Measurement Device Independent Quantum Key Distribution (MDI-QKD). Rather than replacing existing security mechanisms, MDI-QKD introduces an independent, physics-based layer that significantly strengthens overall cyber resilience. It lays the foundation for quantum secured networks, enabling secure multipoint-to-multipoint communication across networked infrastructures deployed by Eurofiber in real-world settings.
Together with Eurofiber, in this exclusive session, Q*Bird will share insights from the QUEST* project and the Port of Rotterdam deployment, where MDI-QKD has moved beyond theory into a live, scalable network. Using Eurofiber’s open fibre infrastructure and data centres, Q*Bird’s MDI-QKD technology enables secure, multipoint-to-multipoint communication across multiple organisations, demonstrating that quantum security can be deployed today, without disrupting existing IT or operational systems.
The session bridges strategy, business value and deep technology. Whether you are a cybersecurity specialist assessing future-proof architectures, a CTO shaping long-term infrastructure decisions or a quantum technology enthusiast seeking to understand real-world impact, this webinar provides a clear view of why MDI-QKD is critical for next-generation cybersecurity and why Q*Bird is setting the standard!
