Finland's first encryption solution evaluated for post-quantum security helps protect government, defence and critical infrastructure communications across Europe.
Insta, a trusted Finnish provider of cybersecurity and defence technologies and a strategic partner of the Finnish Defence Forces, has released a new version of Insta SafeLink Confidential™. The high-assurance secure communications solution is designed to protect mission-critical and classified communications against future quantum computing threats.
The solution supports government authorities, defence organisations and critical infrastructure operators in their transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC), helping ensure the continuity of secure communications and the long-term protection of sensitive information.
A conformity statement issued by the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency Traficom confirms the solution's high level of security and readiness for quantum-safe cryptographic technologies. Insta SafeLink Confidential™ is Finland's first high-assurance encryption solution whose product evaluation has taken post-quantum security and PQC readiness into account.
Quantum-safe security is becoming a critical cybersecurity requirement
Secure communications are a cornerstone of modern societies, defence capabilities and critical infrastructure operations. As organisations prepare for the post-quantum era, the ability to protect sensitive information and maintain trusted communications becomes increasingly important.
Government communications, defence systems, energy networks, industrial operations, digital identities and critical services all rely on cryptographic technologies that underpin secure digital societies and modern defence capabilities.
As quantum computing advances, existing public-key cryptographic algorithms are expected to become increasingly vulnerable, potentially affecting the long-term protection of sensitive and classified information.
Cybersecurity experts are already preparing for the so-called “harvest now, decrypt later” threat scenario, where encrypted information is collected today with the intention of decrypting it in the future once sufficiently powerful quantum computers become available.
The new Insta SafeLink Confidential™ release combines proven cryptographic technologies with quantum-safe capabilities, helping organisations maintain secure communications and operational resilience in increasingly demanding security environments.
Key features include:
Support for quantum-safe key exchange mechanisms
Hybrid cryptographic architectures combining classical and post-quantum algorithms
Crypto agility, enabling secure migration to future cryptographic standards
Product evaluation confirms readiness for the post-quantum era
The National Communications Security Authority Finland (NCSA-FI), operating under Traficom's National Cyber Security Centre, evaluates cryptographic products used to protect classified and security-sensitive information.
The evaluation covered:
Cryptographic security
Key management and protection
Physical security of the device
Suitability for high-threat operating environments
The assessment also considered future requirements related to post-quantum security and the ongoing transition towards new cryptographic standards.
In addition to its Finnish Confidential TL III level evaluation, the Insta SafeLink™ product family has received NATO RESTRICTED and EU RESTRICTED approvals and is listed in the NATO Information Assurance Product Catalogue (NIAPC), supporting its deployment in international defence and security environments.
Developed in Finland for European and NATO security environments
Insta SafeLink™ encryption solutions are designed, developed and maintained in Finland.
Developed and maintained in Finland, SafeLink Confidential™ combines trusted European cybersecurity expertise with the security requirements of modern defence, government and critical infrastructure environments.
The solution supports Europe’s growing need for trusted and sovereign cybersecurity technologies at a time when resilience, security of supply and the protection of critical infrastructure are becoming increasingly important across the European Union and NATO.
The latest SafeLink Confidential™ release strengthens Finland’s position as a developer of advanced cybersecurity technologies while supporting Europe’s transition towards quantum-safe communications.
With this release, the entire Insta SafeLink™ product family now meets the latest requirements for post-quantum cryptography and the transition towards quantum-safe security.
“Quantum computing will have a significant impact on organisations that need to protect sensitive information for years or even decades. SafeLink Confidential enables government, defence and critical infrastructure operators to begin their transition towards quantum-safe communications today while maintaining the security, resilience and continuity of their existing networks,” says Tomi Liljemark, Senior Product Manager at Insta.
Insta continues to invest in the development of quantum-safe communications technologies to support future PQC standards, evolving threat landscapes and the long-term protection of critical communications.
As Europe and NATO continue their transition towards quantum-safe security, trusted communications technologies will play a critical role in safeguarding national security, public services and critical infrastructure.
