nLighten and Arqit enable public cloud use with full data sovereignty and quantum-safe encryption.

nLighten and Arqit have completed a proof of concept showing organisations can run sensitive workloads in public cloud environments while maintaining control over data and encryption keys. Their solution anchors workloads to a physically sovereign European data centre, combined with Arqit's quantum-safe encryption and Intel's confidential computing technology. This approach allows regulated sectors to leverage cloud scalability and AI without compromising data sovereignty or compliance. The model will expand across nLighten's European edge data centres, supporting digital transformation with strong security and regulatory adherence.
