VANCOUVER, March 25,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- USA News Group News Commentary –
The pace of technological change is accelerating fast—reshaping how
we compute, analyze data, and create. But as quantum computing
inches closer to reality, cybersecurity experts are raising serious
red flags. One major concern? "Q-Day"—a looming event where
quantum-powered attackers could crack today's strongest encryption
in mere seconds. With that threat on the horizon, regulators and
privacy watchdogs are urging organizations to adopt
quantum-resistant encryption before 2035. Although some still treat
it as a long-term risk, analysts are warning that quantum computing
deserves immediate attention. Recent developments in both quantum
innovation and next-generation cybersecurity underscore that this
is no longer just a theoretical issue. Over the past few weeks,
several key players have made strategic moves in the space—among
them Scope Technologies Corp. (CSE: SCPE) (OTCQB: SCPCF),
Qualys, Inc. (NASDAQ: QLYS), CyberArk Software Ltd.
(NASDAQ: CYBR), Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CSCO), and
NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA).
The article continued: According to Research and Markets,
the Post-Quantum Cryptography market is on track to surge at a
41.47% CAGR, reaching an estimated US$17.69
billion by 2034. Meanwhile, Market.us projects the
Quantum Computing Software market will expand at a 40% CAGR over
the same period, climbing to US$31.8
billion.
Scope Technologies Corp. (CSE: SCPE) (OTCQB: SCPCF), a
fast-rising player in the quantum security space, is leaning into
the encryption arms race with fresh capital, new tools, and a
mission to democratize quantum-grade security across multiple
industries. Recently, Scope announced a $1.5 million private placement financing,
including a $1 million strategic
investment from First Majestic Silver Corp., which has taken
on a dual role of investor and enterprise client.
Proceeds will be used to repay a prior loan and to accelerate
development of Scope's upcoming QSE mobile app—a fully
quantum-resistant messaging and file-sharing platform powered by
its proprietary Entropy-as-a-Service (EaaS) technology. The mobile
app will complement Scope's growing stack of cybersecurity
solutions, offering decentralized, end-to-end
encryption that remains resilient even in a post-quantum
future.
Scope is also gaining traction internationally.
Recently it secured a master reseller agreement with Coegi Cloud
AB, a Microsoft Solution Partner based in Sweden, to drive adoption of its
quantum-resistant encryption and storage solutions across
Europe and North America. Just days earlier, Scope
inked a channel partnership with COGITO, a leading software
distributor in China, Singapore, and Australia, giving the company access to over
2,000 resellers and 40,000 users across government, enterprise, and
academic sectors.
These moves build on Scope's February launch of its
upgraded Quantum Preparedness Assessment (QPA), a tool that uses
AI-driven automation to help businesses assess their exposure to
quantum threats. Its Quantum Security Entropy (QSE) platform is
already aligned with upcoming U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS) updates to the HIPAA Security Rule, giving
Scope an early mover advantage in protecting healthcare data
from emerging quantum threats. With full integration into widely
used risk management frameworks, QPA simplifies what has
traditionally been a complex and costly process, giving
organizations of all sizes a clearer path to post-quantum
resilience.
"As quantum threats loom closer, businesses must act now to
evaluate and strengthen their security infrastructure," said
Sean Prescott, Founder & CTO of
Scope Technologies Corp. "Our AI-powered QPA, with full RMF
integration, provides a seamless, data-driven approach to assessing
and mitigating risks before it's too late."
This advancement arrives as the quantum landscape heats up.
Microsoft's unveiling of its Majorana 1 processor highlights
just how close scalable quantum architectures are to
reality—bringing the threat of quantum-powered cyberattacks from
hypothetical to increasingly tangible.
As headlines continue to spotlight the risks of "Harvest Now,
Decrypt Later" tactics, Scope's timing appears well
calibrated. From secure messaging to enterprise risk assessments,
the company is positioning itself not just as a vendor—but as an
early solution provider in a race many haven't yet realized they're
in.

Qualys, Inc. (NASDAQ: QLYS), a leading provider of
disruptive cloud-based IT, security and compliance solutions, is
taking aim at one of cybersecurity's biggest challenges—turning
mountains of risk data into actionable insights—with the launch of
its Managed Risk Operations Center (mROC) Partner Alliance. The new
program empowers trusted managed security providers to deliver
end-to-end cyber risk services, helping organizations quantify
threats in business terms like lost revenue, productivity, or brand
trust.
"Given the increasing complexity of the attack surface,
Qualys' mROC will be extremely valuable in helping our
clients identify and mitigate risk," said Mark Thornberry,
SVP, Vendor Marketing at GuidePoint Security. "Qualys
continues to empower its partners with cutting-edge solutions that
enable organizations to stay ahead of evolving threats, enhance
operational efficiency, and implement a proactive approach to
mitigating risk. We're excited for this evolution."
The mROC alliance is built around Qualys' Enterprise
TruRisk™ platform, which helps partners deliver integrated cyber
risk services like onboarding, monitoring, and remediation—all
aligned to business strategy. By tapping into Qualys'
enterprise base, MSSPs gain new revenue opportunities while
enabling CISOs to shift from reactive defense to proactive,
data-driven risk management.
CyberArk Software Ltd. (NASDAQ: CYBR), is sounding the
alarm on a growing cybersecurity blind spot—machine identities. In
its newly released 2025 State of Machine Identity Security report,
the company found that 72% of organizations suffered at least one
certificate-related outage in the past year, while half reported
breaches tied to compromised machine identities.
"Machine identities of all kinds will continue to skyrocket over
the next year, bringing not only greater complexity but also
increased risks," said Kurt Sand, GM
of Machine Identity Security at CyberArk. "Cybercriminals
are increasingly targeting machine identities – from API keys to
code signing certificates – to exploit vulnerabilities, compromise
systems and disrupt critical infrastructure, leaving even the most
advanced businesses dangerously exposed. This research highlights
the urgency for security leaders to establish a comprehensive,
end-to-end machine identity security strategy that tackles the
non-human identities that matter most to prevent potential attacks
and outages—especially as AI agents continue to rise and the
quantum attack timeline shortens."
As AI and cloud-native adoption accelerate, machine identities
like API keys and tokens are exploding in number—outpacing humans
and creating blind spots across fragmented security teams. With
nearly 80% of leaders expecting a 150% surge in machine identities
this year, CyberArk is positioning itself as a critical
safeguard in an era where identity is the new cybersecurity
perimeter.
Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CSCO) and NVIDIA
Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA) are doubling down on secure
enterprise AI with the launch of the Cisco Secure AI Factory—an
end-to-end infrastructure solution purpose-built for AI workloads.
Designed to embed security at every layer, from the hardware stack
to the application level, the platform will combine Cisco's
AI Defense tools and Hybrid Mesh Firewall with NVIDIA's
accelerated compute and networking capabilities to help
organizations scale AI without compromising security.
"AI can unlock groundbreaking opportunities for the enterprise,"
said Chuck Robbins, Chair and CEO,
Cisco. "To achieve this, the integration of networking and
security is essential. Cisco and NVIDIA's trusted,
innovative solutions empower our customers to harness AI's full
potential simply and securely."
This architecture arrives at a critical moment, as data centers
transform into "AI factories" and demand soars for infrastructure
that can support model training, deployment, and governance at
scale. Cisco and NVIDIA's approach offers both
pre-configured and modular options, giving enterprises the
flexibility to integrate their existing systems while aligning with
AI security frameworks like NIST and OWASP. By merging
high-performance networking with real-time threat detection and
workload protection, the companies are laying the groundwork for a
new category of infrastructure—one where AI innovation and
zero-trust security go hand in hand.
"AI factories are transforming every industry, and security must
be built into every layer to protect data, applications and
infrastructure," said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO, NVIDIA.
"Together, NVIDIA and Cisco are creating the
blueprint for secure AI—giving enterprises the foundation they need
to confidently scale AI while safeguarding their most valuable
assets."
