Quantum Shield emerges as the pioneering solution to protect smart manufacturing environments from the most advanced threats. This innovative project combines the best of post-quantum cryptography, quantum key distribution and quantum machine learning (QML) to address the challenges of the quantum era and generative artificial intelligence.
Develop tools that not only prevent quantum attacks, but also effectively identify and respond to distributed threats such as traditional and AI-optimised DDoS attacks.
Quantum Shield is aligned with the RIS3 strategy of Castilla y León and with Priority 3: smart manufacturing and cybersecurity, ensuring that companies in the region are prepared to face the challenges of the future with cutting-edge technologies.
