Colt Technology Services has expanded its secure networking portfolio to include Fortinet-powered SD-WAN and SASE solutions. This integrated managed service is designed to help organizations address infrastructure complexity while defending against both current and future quantum computing threats.
Why it matters
As businesses struggle with the operational burden of managing complex digital environments, integrating security and networking is becoming essential. These tools provide a path for organizations to secure their data against emerging threats like quantum-enabled decryption while simplifying team workflows.
The new offering integrates Colt global infrastructure with Fortinet security tools to support post-quantum cryptographic capabilities. This combination aims to reduce the operational overhead reported by over half of security teams.
The players
Colt Technology Services
A global provider of telecommunications and network infrastructure services that connects businesses worldwide.
Fortinet
A multinational corporation that develops and sells cybersecurity solutions including firewalls, endpoint security, and intrusion detection systems.
The details
The service merges networking and security into a single managed package to eliminate the fragmented tools currently causing friction for IT departments. By embedding post-quantum cryptography, Colt aims to future-proof customer networks against the advanced decryption capabilities associated with next-generation quantum computers.
Timeline
October 23, 2026: Colt Technology Services announced the expansion of its networking portfolio.
2030: The global SASE market is projected to reach a value of $24 billion.
The Tech Race
The transition to SASE architectures represents a shift away from legacy siloed security models toward cloud-native, integrated environments. By embedding post-quantum capabilities, Colt is positioning itself to compete with providers that have yet to address the impending threat of quantum-based decryption.
IT and security professionals can expect a streamlined workflow by managing networking and security through a single provider. This integration reduces the need for constant monitoring of multiple disparate tools, allowing teams to focus on managing threats rather than system maintenance.
The takeaway
Organizations should evaluate their current security infrastructure against the looming threat of quantum computing to avoid costly retrofits later. Implementing quantum-ready solutions now can prevent significant operational disruptions as encryption standards evolve in the coming years.
