NATO Military Committee (NAMILCOM) has certified Sectra's latest version of the mobile phone Tiger/S 7401 LTE up to the security level NATO SECRET. This means that NATO officials are authorised to exchange security-classified information with each other through calls, text messages, or data transfer. This is according to a press release the company published on 2 May.

The company states on its website that the new Tiger/S will also be able to withstand future decryption attempts with quantum computers and that the latest version includes support for all fixed networks and mobile 4G networks. In addition to NAMILCOM, the EU, among others, has also approved the phone for use up to its security level SECRET.

– The need for secure and stable communication systems with high availability is greater than ever before. A quantum-secure solution is therefore necessary for our customers to maintain their digital sovereignty. The approval confirms that our latest version of Sectra Tiger/S can handle both today's and tomorrow's threats, says Jeroen de Muijnck, head of Sectra Communications BV.

NATO has its own classification system for information and states on its website that there are four security levels; NATO RESTRICTED, NATO CONFIDENTIAL, NATO SECRET, and COSMIC TOP SECRET.
