Gorilla Technology Group has launched a new Quantum-Safe Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) Initiative, an advanced security feature built into its Intelligent Network Director platform. The initiative aims to protect digital infrastructure and AI systems from future quantum computing threats.
The Intelligent Network Director combines two types of encryption — Elliptic-Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) and Kyber — to create a hybrid key exchange that offers long-term protection, even in a post-quantum world. At the same time, it uses Dilithium-based digital signatures to verify network nodes and safeguard data traffic, helping secure both orchestration and communication layers.
This setup provides a quantum-resistant foundation for complex network environments, including hybrid, multi-cloud, and sovereign systems that support government and national AI operations. The design also integrates two algorithms approved by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST): CRYSTALS-Kyber for encryption key exchange and CRYSTALS-Dilithium for digital signatures.
“In today’s world, quantum-safe networking is an operational imperative,” said Dr. Rajesh Natarajan, Chief Technology Officer at Gorilla Technology. “With the Gorilla Intelligent Network Director, we are embedding post-quantum resilience directly into the connectivity fabric that powers AI platforms and sovereign clouds. This initiative puts important national security and digital sovereignty measures in place, and positions Gorilla to deliver on a key priority for governments around the globe.”
Aligning with global security standards
The company’s move comes ahead of the US government’s rollout of its Commercial National Security Algorithm Suite 2.0 (CNSA 2.0), which will guide encryption standards between 2025 and 2030. By aligning its systems with these guidelines, Gorilla ensures that every Intelligent Network Director deployment will be ready for post-quantum compliance through the 2030–2033 horizon.
Building on global infrastructure projects
This quantum-safe upgrade builds on Gorilla’s large-scale AI and data centre projects worldwide. That includes its recently signed US$1.4 billion network project in Southeast Asia with Freyr Technology AI, as well as public-safety and digital infrastructure programs in Thailand and Taiwan.
Gorilla has already been working on post-quantum security systems for government networks in the Middle East and Thailand, helping those agencies transition to standards-based encryption models that can adapt as technologies advance. The company expects these deployments to bring steady long-term revenue as governments and enterprises begin shifting to post-quantum security.
Key benefits for customers
Organisations adopting the Gorilla Intelligent Network Director will gain:
Crypto-agility: The flexibility to update encryption systems as new quantum-safe standards emerge.
End-to-end protection: Encryption that secures everything from core data centres to edge devices.
Regulatory readiness: Built-in compliance with CNSA 2.0, NIST SP 800-208, and UK National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) frameworks.
“Our mission is to safeguard and harden every connection by default,” Dr. Natarajan added. “As AI platforms become the new critical infrastructure, the Gorilla Intelligent Network Director ensures that data, control and identity remain quantum-safe from the core to the edge.”
To help customers prepare for the quantum era, Gorilla is setting up Quantum-Safe Readiness Labs in Taiwan and India. These facilities will allow governments, telecom operators, and enterprises to test hybrid key exchange models, plan migration strategies, and use reference blueprints to build secure national networks.
