TIM: TELSY TOGETHER WITH FORTINET TO USE ITALIAN TECHNOLOGIES
AGAINST QUANTUM THREATS
The Italian company joins the Fortinet Fabric Ready Technology Alliance Partner Program, enabling
the integration of its ‘Made in Italy’ encryption solutions into Next-Generation Firewalls
Telsy, the cybersecurity, cryptography and quantum security unit operating within TIM Enterprise, and
Fortinet, the global cybersecurity leader driving the convergence of networking and security, have established
a technology partnership to offer businesses and public administrations advanced network solutions that
can withstand quantum threats.
The integrated solution uses Telsy’s Quell-X Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) technology, co-developed with
its subsidiary, QTI (Quantum Telecommunications Italy), to enable quantum-safe VPNs. This futureproof VPN
connection, enabled via an ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute) compliant integration
with FortiGate NGFW (Next Generation Firewalls), is capable of protecting organizations’ critical data against
the emerging threats of quantum computing. Telsy represents Italian technological excellence and this
collaboration with Fortinet highlights its ability to compete globally.
The integration between Fortinet and Telsy technologies allows quantum cryptographic keys to be generated
and distributed to safeguard data confidentiality and integrity now and in the future. With native FortiOS
quantum-safe capabilities, the solution is designed for seamless plug-and-play implementation in enterprise
and public administration environments where Fortinet technologies are already widespread, thus
accelerating deployment timelines and reducing integration risks.
Fortinet’s Open Ecosystem is one of the largest cybersecurity ecosystems in the industry, and the Fortinet
Fabric-Ready Technology Alliance Partner Program brings together a community of industry-leading global
technology partners with specialized expertise, delivering integrated solutions to customers for
comprehensive end-to-end security.
“This collaboration represents a tangible step towards building an increasingly integrated and resilient
security ecosystem. Bringing our quantum technology to a global platform such as Fortinet means
transforming Italian innovation into operational value for businesses and Public Administration, contributing
to a cybersecurity that is not only a defense but also enables the digital transformation of the future,” said
Alessandra Michelini, CEO of Telsy.
“Fortinet’s technology partners integrate with Fortinet products and solutions to help customers attain
advanced security across their infrastructure, with end-to-end approach and best of breed innovation. We
are pleased to have Telsy as a Fortinet Fabric-Ready Technology Alliance Partner, enabling advanced
quantum-safe cybersecurity solutions. Together, we help customers face the quantum cyber challenges
ahead and prepare for the quantum era,” said Massimo Palermo, Vice President Sales Italy and Malta at
Fortinet.
With this initiative, TIM Enterprise, Telsy and Fortinet are promoting an integrated, future-proof cybersecurity
model, where cloud, artificial intelligence and quantum technologies converge to ensure security of data and
digital transformation today and tomorrow.
