Summary
Data is no longer just stored, processed, and protected inside a single environment. It is constantly moving between data centers, cloud regions, AI clusters, financial platforms, government systems, and critical infrastructure. As more decisions, workflows, and services depend on real-time data movement, the optical transport network itself has become part of the trust model.
This webinar explores how PacketLight enables organizations to protect high-value data in motion at the optical transport layer while preparing for quantum-safe security requirements. PacketLight will discuss how Layer 1 encryption secures traffic directly across optical networks and data center interconnects, how QKD can strengthen key distribution for selected high-assurance links, and how PQC-based capabilities from technology partners such as Quantum Xchange can be incorporated into a broader hybrid quantum-safe transport strategy.
Quantum Xchange will provide expert perspective on PQC, crypto-agility, governance, and emerging quantum-safe security models, while PacketLight will show how these approaches fit into a practical, deployable secure optical transport solution.
Attendees will learn:
- Why data-in-motion security is becoming essential for AI, cloud, finance, government, and critical infrastructure
- How PacketLight Layer 1 encryption protects the optical transport path without changing the applications or services above it
- Where QKD fits as a high-assurance key-distribution layer for selected critical links
- How PQC, crypto-agility, and hybrid models are shaping quantum-safe security planning
- How PacketLight can help organizations build a practical roadmap for secure, quantum-safe optical transport
