At Toshiba, we’re committed to delivering world-leading technology that protects the private information of citizens and organisations.
As quantum computing becomes more widely available, the volume and severity of cyber attacks will put sensitive data under threat like never before. Only quantum-safe solutions will be able to withstand decryption from quantum computers, which will have the power to bypass current encryption methods in minutes.
Our quantum cyber security solutions, based on decades of scientific research, apply the fundamental laws of quantum physics to deliver provably secure network communications that will remain resilient even in the age of quantum computing.
Toshiba has been at the forefront of quantum computing technology since 1999. Our solutions underpin the world’s first quantum-secured metro network, and we’ve created a quantum-safe communication platform that makes existing data-carrying networks safe from attack by quantum computers, without any compromise to performance.
We’ve achieved a series of world firsts in quantum technology deployment, developing quantum-safe and future-proof network communications infrastructures that can protect data from any threat – even those posed by quantum computers.

Toshiba QKD technology has recently been deployed to protect critical confidential data in hospitals and government ministries in Austria.
The UK National Physical Laboratory (NPL) performed independent assessment of various critical parameters of Toshiba’s Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) technology. These measured quantities are integral to the product’s security and have been validated to match expected values.
Cybersecurity needs a paradigm shift to counter the rising power of quantum computing. Read about how QKD can be used to overhaul cybersecurity fundamentals, today.
We’re proud to celebrate reaching a community of 10,000 people passionate about the future of quantum-safe networking.
This milestone reflects the incredible momentum behind quantum technology and the current transition to quantum safe networking. For more than 30 years, Toshiba has been driving innovation in quantum technologies with a focus on protecting our networks and sensitive data today and for the long term.
Today, we’re excited to see that vision become reality through commercial deployment of our quantum safe and crypto agile technology.
As organisations prepare for increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, the demand for quantum-safe networking continues to grow. It’s inspiring to see businesses recognising and acting upon the need to future-proof their communications for the quantum era.
A huge thank you to our customers, partners, researchers and broader quantum ecosystem for being part of this journey. We’re excited for what’s ahead as we continue working toward a more secure digital future.

We are proud to announce that Dr Andrew Shields, Vice President of Toshiba Europe and Head of the Quantum Technology division, has been elected a Fellow of The Royal Society (FRS) — one of the world’s most prestigious scientific honours.
This recognition reflects Dr. Shields’ outstanding contributions to quantum technology and more than two decades of pioneering research, development and commercialisation at Toshiba. His leadership has helped establish Toshiba as a global leader in secure quantum networking, driving advances in quantum key distribution, secure communications and the future quantum internet.
His election further strengthens Toshiba Europe’s distinguished scientific legacy. He joins an exceptional group of Toshiba leaders recognised by the Royal Society, including Professor Sir Michael Pepper FRS and Professor Roberto Cipolla FRS of Toshiba’s Cambridge Research Laboratory.
Founded in 1660, the Royal Society recognises individuals whose work has made transformative contributions to science, engineering and technology. Dr. Shields’ election marks an important milestone not only in his career, but also in the growing global recognition of quantum technology as a critical foundation for future digital infrastructure.
Congratulations, Andrew, on this remarkable achievement.
