Protect state secrets and valuable data

Governments and businesses around the world need to secure their network communications using strong encryption to secure their data-in-transit. In addition, meeting regulatory specifications like GDPR and NISD is mandatory for most organizations. QuantumReady NQX™ line encryption software has been developed by SSH.COM for governments and businesses to mitigate the threat originating from nefarious external actors. With NQX, you can create high-performance virtual private networks on top of any IP network, public or private.

State-certified software for state-certified hardware

Decentralized government operations with branch offices and embassies inside and outside the country require uncompromising security for every file transfer. In state and federal deployments, cybersecurity solutions must deliver a combination of certified software and hardware. NQX software was the first officially certified software to run on Finland’s critical networks and and we offer a scalable range of out-of-the-box certified appliance options.

NQX hardware options

“The National Cyber Security Authority at the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency (Traficom) has certified the SSH NQX firewall and virtual private network (VPN) appliance as a cryptographic product for protecting classified information according to Finnish national (FI) ST III (Confidential) security requirements.”

Government-grade protection

NQX is certified for the transport of classified data by Finland’s national certification authority (NCSA). NQX software is developed in partnership with the Finnish government. NQX encryption is quantum-resilient and its advanced packet engine provides high-rate DDoS resilience and remains fully functional under link saturation.

Cost-efficient performance at scale

Fast-to-deploy with minimal to non-existent maintenance, NQX offers a capacity of up to 80 Gbps with flexible connectivity to 10/100/1000M and 1G/10G ethernet networks. No speed bumps, no hiccups, just excellent capacity-to-price ratio.

Hardware-agnostic

In diverse business deployments, NQX runs on standard hardware platforms as it's based on x86 architecture. There’s no vendor lock lock for sourcing the hardware, making NQX perfect for multisourcing. In state/federal scenarios, NQX’s hardware-agnostic approach means that, if hardware upgrade/replacement is required, NQX software remains fully functional with no need for extra licenses or re-training.
