Why These Sectors

Fabric Networks operates exclusively in sectors where encryption failure creates physical consequences — not just data breaches. Energy grids, government networks, telecom backbones, and community infrastructure all run on encryption with an expiration date. Regulatory mandates are accelerating, infrastructure lifespans far exceed current encryption validity, and adversaries are already positioning for quantum advantage. We build quantum-safe protection into the infrastructure itself, so our clients migrate on their timeline — not someone else's.

PRIMARY MARKET

Energy & Resources

Canada's energy sector depends on SCADA networks, pipeline telemetry, and industrial control systems where encryption failure isn't a data problem — it's an operational safety problem. A compromised key doesn't just expose records; it opens real-time command and control of physical infrastructure. With 15-to-20-year equipment lifecycles and tightening regulatory requirements, retrofitting encryption later means costly forced upgrades across remote, distributed assets. Fabric Networks deploys quantum-safe encryption directly into operational networks — protecting real-time control systems today while eliminating the capital risk of a forced migration tomorrow.

KEY CHALLENGES

Legacy SCADA systems with outdated encryption

Remote pipeline telemetry vulnerable to interception

Industrial control systems with long upgrade cycles

Regulatory compliance for critical infrastructure

Harvest-now, decrypt-later threats to operational data

GROWTH MARKET

Government & Defense

Federal, provincial, and municipal governments face converging pressures: state-sponsored actors harvesting encrypted data for future decryption, NIST post-quantum standards now finalized with migration deadlines approaching, and allied interoperability requirements from Five Eyes and NATO partners. Canada's CCCS guidance is aligning with these frameworks, making quantum-safe migration a compliance inevitability — not a technology choice. Fabric Networks delivers post-quantum encryption aligned to CCCS, NIST PQC, NSA CSfC, and NATO requirements, ensuring classified and sensitive communications remain protected through the transition.

KEY CHALLENGES

State-sponsored harvest-now, decrypt-later campaigns

Multi-domain classification and interoperability requirements

Compliance with evolving NIST post-quantum standards

Legacy system migration without operational disruption

Cross-border allied communication security

PARTNER CHANNEL

Telecommunications

Carriers and managed service providers are facing quantum-safe encryption from two directions: their own backbone infrastructure needs protection, and their enterprise customers are beginning to require quantum-safe SLAs as a procurement condition. The telcos that offer quantum-safe network services first will capture the contracts that demand it. Fabric Networks provides the SKA Central Controller platform for carrier-scale quantum-safe key management, enabling telcos and MSPs to protect their own networks while creating a competitive revenue stream from quantum-safe services.

KEY CHALLENGES

Backbone encryption vulnerable to quantum decryption

Carrier-scale key management across distributed networks

Customer demand for quantum-safe SLAs and certifications

Integration with existing OSS/BSS and network management

Competitive pressure to offer next-generation security services

DEPLOYMENT TRACK

Communities & Smart Infrastructure

Rural and Indigenous communities, municipalities, and regional districts are investing in broadband and smart infrastructure designed to last 25 to 40 years. Deploying encryption today that will be broken within a decade builds in a forced retrofit that many communities cannot afford — and creates liability exposure for the networks carrying emergency services, utility metering, and government communications. Fabric Networks ensures these networks are quantum-safe from day one through open-access architecture with integrated post-quantum encryption, protecting communities for the full lifespan of their investment.

KEY CHALLENGES

New networks built with soon-to-be-obsolete encryption

Multi-decade infrastructure lifespan requiring future-proof security

Limited cybersecurity expertise in rural and remote regions

Critical service delivery over shared open-access networks

Funding and procurement requirements for proven technology
