Colt Technology Services has expanded its networking portfolio to include managed SD-WAN and SASE solutions powered by Fortinet. These new services integrate network infrastructure with security tools and feature support for post-quantum cryptography.
Why it matters
As businesses struggle with infrastructure complexity, these integrated services aim to simplify security management while addressing current risks and future threats posed by quantum computing advancements.
The integrated service platform currently supports post-quantum cryptographic capabilities for enterprise data protection. The global SASE market is projected to reach US$24 billion by 2030, representing a 15% compound annual growth rate.
The players
Colt Technology Services
A provider of global fiber-optic network infrastructure and managed communication services for large-scale enterprise clients.
Fortinet
A cybersecurity firm that specializes in integrated networking and security hardware and software including firewalls and SASE solutions.
The details
This managed service combines Colt's global fiber network infrastructure with Fortinet's security stack, which includes software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) and secure access service edge (SASE) tools. By integrating these functions into a single managed environment, the system reduces the complexity typically associated with managing separate security and networking appliances. The inclusion of post-quantum cryptography allows the architecture to employ encryption methods designed to be secure against future decryption capabilities of powerful quantum computers.
Timeline
Colt Technology Services announced the expansion of its networking portfolio on October 23, 2026.
The global SASE market is projected to reach a value of $24 billion by 2030.
The Tech Race
This development aligns with the broader industry shift toward consolidating fragmented security and networking stacks into unified service offerings. It places these firms in the competitive race to capture market share within the rapidly expanding global SASE landscape.
Enterprise security teams facing high operational complexity can now access these integrated SASE and SD-WAN tools globally through Colt. Organizations looking to secure their data against future quantum-scale decryption can implement these post-quantum ready solutions immediately.
The takeaway
Enterprises should prioritize evaluating how their current network architecture handles post-quantum cryptographic standards. Monitor Colt's future service updates to track the performance benchmarks of these newly integrated security capabilities.
