Arqit (Nasdaq: ARQQ, ARQQW) (“Arqit”), a leader in quantum-safe encryption, announces the application of Arqit’s QuantumCloud™ on Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Amazon S3 is an object storage service used by millions of customers of all sizes and industries that offers industry-leading availability, security, and performance, and virtually unlimited scalability.
