 Strategic collaboration aims to accelerate enterprise crypto-agility, strengthen digital resilience and expand access to indigenous quantum-safe cybersecurity innovation. Bengaluru, India, 30 October 2026: Netpoleon India, a value-added cybersecurity distributor, has onboarded QNu Labs, an India-born deep-tech cybersecurity company, in a strategic collaboration aimed at accelerating quantum-safe cybersecurity readiness and strengthening long-term digital resilience across Indian enterprises. As organisations accelerate digital transformation, protecting sensitive information and critical digital infrastructure has become a strategic business priority. Advances in quantum computing present emerging challenges to widely used cryptographic systems, making it increasingly important for enterprises to understand their cryptographic exposure and prepare for evolving cybersecurity risks.
The collaboration brings together QNu Labs' expertise in quantum-safe cybersecurity and Netpoleon India's established network of channel partners and system integrators. Together, the companies aim to help organisations strengthen cryptographic risk management, enhance security governance and develop a structured approach to quantum-safe transformation. Advancing Enterprise Crypto-Agility and Digital Resilience Preparing for the quantum era requires more than adopting new security technologies. Enterprises need a comprehensive understanding of their cryptographic dependencies, greater visibility into potential risks and the flexibility to adapt as security standards, threats and business requirements evolve. At the heart of QNu Labs' enterprise cybersecurity strategy is QShield 2.0, its flagship Crypto Risk Profiling and Crypto-Agility Platform, designed to help organisations understand where their data security may be at risk, strengthen protection and prepare for future cybersecurity challenges. QShield 2.0 brings together Crypto Risk Profiling (CRP), Crypto Operations & Management (COM), Crypto Policy & Governance (CPG), and QAi Agent – Agentic Security to help businesses take greater control of their digital security. From identifying potential risks and managing security operations to establishing consistent security policies and using AI to make smarter security decisions, the platform enables organisations to protect sensitive information, meet evolving compliance requirements and adapt to emerging threats, including those posed by quantum computing. Through this collaboration, Netpoleon India and QNu Labs aim to make these capabilities more accessible to enterprises, helping organisations move from awareness of emerging cryptographic risks to practical, structured preparedness. The initiative also creates opportunities for channel partners and system integrators to support customers in aligning their cybersecurity strategies with evolving business requirements, regulatory expectations and long-term digital resilience objectives. Highlighting the strategic significance of the collaboration, Mohan Kumar TL, Regional Director, Netpoleon India, said, "As enterprises navigate an increasingly complex cybersecurity landscape, preparing for emerging risks is becoming just as important as addressing today's threats. Our collaboration with QNu Labs brings together indigenous quantum cybersecurity innovation and our established partner ecosystem, enabling us to support organisations in strengthening their security strategies and preparing for the next era of digital resilience." Strengthening India's Indigenous Quantum Cybersecurity Ecosystem The partnership reflects a shared commitment to advancing India's cybersecurity capabilities by connecting indigenous deep-tech innovation with a broader enterprise ecosystem. QNu Labs has achieved significant milestones in quantum cybersecurity, including a landmark Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) deployment in a live Defence network and the successful demonstration of Free-Space QKD over a distance of 5.56 kilometres. These achievements highlight the company's focus on translating advanced quantum research into practical security capabilities and contributing to India's technological self-reliance. By combining QNu Labs' innovation-led expertise with Netpoleon India's distribution network, the collaboration seeks to strengthen the adoption of quantum-safe cybersecurity practices across sectors such as banking and financial services, government, defence, telecommunications and critical infrastructure. Emphasising the importance of enterprise preparedness, Rahil Patel, CGO, QNu Labs, said, "Quantum-safe readiness is becoming a strategic business imperative, not merely a technology consideration. Organisations need more than visibility into cryptographic risks; they need strong governance, effective security operations and the agility to respond as threats and standards evolve. Through QShield 2.0 and our collaboration with Netpoleon India, we aim to help enterprises take a more integrated and proactive approach to cryptographic resilience, accelerating India's transition toward a quantum-safe future." Building a Secure and Future-Ready Digital Economy As quantum technologies continue to evolve, organisations must balance today's cybersecurity priorities with the need to prepare for tomorrow's risks. The collaboration between Netpoleon India and QNu Labs aims to bridge the gap between emerging cybersecurity innovation and enterprise adoption by strengthening industry awareness, enabling channel partners and helping organisations adopt a more comprehensive approach to cryptographic risk, governance and operational resilience. Together, the companies seek to contribute to a stronger indigenous cybersecurity ecosystem, advance enterprise crypto-agility and support India's journey toward a secure, trusted and future-ready digital economy.
