Eurofiber is entering into a strategic partnership with Quantum Bridge and Juniper Networks to better protect networks from future quantum cyber attacks. The partnership focuses on integrating quantum-secure cryptography into Eurofiber’s infrastructure.
Eurofiber announces a new strategic partnership with Quantum Bridge, a specialist in Distributed Symmetric Key Establishment (DSKE), and network provider Juniper Networks. The aim of the partnership is to integrate quantum-secure technologies into Eurofiber’s network solutions. In doing so, the company is responding to the growing threat of quantum computers that can crack existing encryption methods.
Quantum-safe communications and DSKE technology
Quantum computers promise enormous computing power, but also pose a risk to traditional asymmetric cryptography currently widely used for data security. This is why Eurofiber, together with Quantum Bridge and Juniper Networks, is betting on post-quantum cryptography and DSKE technology. This technology automates the distribution of symmetric encryption keys without using vulnerable asymmetric cryptography.
Juniper Networks’ SRX firewalls are complemented by Quantum Bridge’s DSKE solution. This combination enables scalable, future-proof security without major changes to existing network infrastructure. This is especially relevant for financial institutions and organizations that need multi-layered security.
“The collaboration with Juniper Networks and Quantum Bridge strengthens our position in offering secure and reliable connectivity,” said Eric Kuisch, COO of Eurofiber. He points to the growing threat of quantum computing and the need to respond to it in a timely manner.

Demonstration in financial sector
At a recent meeting of central banks in Rome, Eurofiber demonstrated the effectiveness of DSKE technology in combination with Juniper Networks’ firewalls. This demonstration showed how critical financial systems can be protected from attacks using quantum computing. Representatives from G7 countries recognized the urgency of moving to quantum secure encryption.
According to Mattia Montagna, CEO of Quantum Bridge, it is essential to take action now. “Quantum computers will soon be able to break existing cryptography. By integrating our technology into the infrastructure of Eurofiber and Juniper Networks, we are providing solutions today for tomorrow’s security challenges.”
Melchior Aelmans, Chief Architect & Quantum Lead at Juniper Networks, also stresses the importance of thinking ahead. “Experts predict that quantum computers will be able to crack traditional encryption within five years. Our joint solution provides an easy-to-implement security layer so organizations can protect their networks in a timely manner.”
