Techniques for applying a quantum ready intelligent security gateway are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system/process/computer program product for applying a quantum ready intelligent security gateway (e.g., a quantum ready intelligent security gateway that supports quantum key distribution (QKD) and/or post-quantum cryptography (PQC) for providing a secure tunnel to the mobile network) includes monitoring network traffic on a mobile network at a security gateway to identify a new session; determining meta information associated with the new session by extracting the meta information from the network traffic via one or more interfaces; and enforcing a security policy on the new session at the security gateway based on the meta information to apply context-based security in the mobile network.
