January 22, 2025, Santa Clara, California – Palo Alto Networks is pleased to announce today the establishment of their Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG) Open API, described as a major milestone in helping international enterprises prepare for advanced quantum risks.

The initiative’s aim is to break accessibility boundaries and provide advanced cryptographic operations to increase data protection and was achieved through a collaboration with the top 6 innovators in QRNG.  

The QRNG Open API guarantees compatibility in multi-vendor surroundings, allowing its application in both present and new infrastructures. 

It is based on the principle that all random numbers generated especially by QRNG technology become essential in forming cryptographic keys which can resist quantum cyber sabotage. 

This is crucial now especially since the evolution of quantum computers make use of artificial intelligence.  

Rich Campagna, Senior Vice President of Product Management at Palo Alto Networks further emphasized the work that goes into quantum security, noting that, 

“Helping the world become quantum safe is much more than any one cybersecurity company can tackle alone. We are thrilled to launch the QRNG Open API to benefit as many organizations as possible.”

Many industry pioneers in cybersecurity and quantum technology share in celebrating the launch of this initiative.

Wil Oxford, CEO of Anametric, indicated that “Establishing a standardized QRNG Open API is crucial for enabling smoother integration with post-quantum cryptography. 

From his end, Duncan Jones, Head of Cybersecurity at Quantinuum, pointed out that,

 “This initiative strengthens today’s cybersecurity while simultaneously allowing for flexibility in the future.”  

QRNG Open API, already available on the GitHub posting of Palo Alto Networks, will also be integrated into the company’s Next-Generation Firewalls by the end of this year, increasing protection of networks with advanced encryption features.

It is suggested that combining QRNG and NIST’s recently developed post-quantum cryptography standards will maximize the level of protection against quantum threats.  

This proposal by Palo Alto Networks is meant for propagating the adoption of Quantum Safe technologies that will enable resilient infrastructure in the future. The QRNG Open API, as with every addition to the quantum toolbox, is an important measure against risk to critical information and systems as the world becomes increasingly interconnected.
