Welcome to the “Quantum Key Distribution:  Securing Future Network Communications” podcast hosted on Government Technology Insider.  Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) provides a new level of security. By leveraging encryption keys, two end locations in different places can exchange and send files over in seconds – and these files are safe because hackers can’t steal encryption keys.

QKD is considered to be the most secure form of information sharing because it leverages instant threat detection and Zero Trust Architecture to notify teams when there is a threat detected.

However, is this the safest form of information sharing for the government?  Today, we are speaking with Lee Sattler, Distinguished Engineer at Verizon, who will answer this question and much more.

PODCAST: Quantum Key Distribution -- Securing Future Network Communications

Network as a Service (NaaS) makes government networks more agile and adaptable to changing circumstances at speed. In order to bring NaaS to life for government, there is a four-step process, which is mapped out in this new three-part podcast series.

In the first stage of an agency’s transformation journey with NaaS, the networks are centralized and on-premises with rigid and physical resource-intensive networks. At step one in the transformation, the goal is to reduce the strain on IT staff and amplify IT management. This will help the network to perform efficiently and securely. Next, the agency will begin to progress towards greater visibility and automation.

In the first installment of this series, Brett Barganz, Product Manager at Verizon, and Scott Andersen, Distinguished Solution Architect Verizon, discussed how agencies can go from step one to step two in their NaaS journeys.
