Initial Focus on Cryptographic Discovery to Strengthen UN’s Cybersecurity Posture
SandboxAQ has joined the United Nations International Computing Centre (UNICC) as a founding member of its new AI Hub. This collaboration aims to enhance cybersecurity for over 100 UN entities and international organizations. Leveraging SandboxAQ’s AQtive Guard platform, the UNICC will offer AI-enhanced cryptographic discovery services to identify and upgrade vulnerable cryptography across IT infrastructures.
The UNICC, the largest strategic partner for digital solutions and cybersecurity within the United Nations system, will utilize SandboxAQ’s innovative quantum, AI, and cybersecurity solutions. These services will help identify outdated or expired algorithms, keys, and certificates, enabling constituents and partners to upgrade their cryptography to meet emerging and future threats, including AI- and quantum-based attacks.
“We’re proud to be a founding member of the UNICC’s AI Hub and look forward to helping its members tackle some of society’s biggest challenges,” said Stefan Leichenauer, VP Engineering of SandboxAQ.
“Over the last five decades, UNICC has continually expanded the diverse technology services designed for the UN family, including fostering strategic partnerships with trusted partners like SandboxAQ to develop state-of-the-art solutions,” said Sameer Chauhan, Director, UNICC. “Leveraging SandboxAQ’s innovative quantum, AI, and cybersecurity solutions, we’re pleased to welcome them as a founding member of the UNICC AI Hub and share their expertise with our partners.”
The new UNICC AI Hub will serve as a center of excellence for AI deployment within the UN system and other international organizations. It will gather best-in-class experts, partners, knowledge, solutions, and capabilities to help constituents and partners accelerate positive impact worldwide. The AI Hub will provide expertise and training on a broad range of predictive, generative, and quantitative AI solutions that are UN-tailored, battle-tested, cost-effective, secure, and compliant.
