Cybersecurity Breaches Surge in 2024—How AI and Quantum Encryption Are Changing the Game October 23, 2024 - Baystreet.ca Issued on behalf of Scope Technologies Corp. VANCOUVER – USA News Group News Commentary – In 2024 alone, over 1 billion records have been stolen, and this number continues to rise, according to a report from TechCrunch. Earlier this year, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) raised concerns about the growing cyber threats that could destabilize financial systems worldwide. IBM’s 2024 Data Breach Report highlighted that a shortage of cybersecurity professionals contributed to a $1.76 million increase in average breach costs. To combat these escalating risks, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recently introduced its first set of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) standards to defend against future cyberattacks as hackers gain more sophisticated tools. Several technology developers are now advancing AI-driven and quantum-resistant security solutions to protect data both today and in the future, with notable recent developments including: Scope Technologies Corp. (CSE: SCPE) (OTCQB: SCPCF), CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRWD), Fortinet, Inc. (NASDAQ: FTNT), Akamai Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKAM), and Kyndryl Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: KD). The article continued: Analysts at MarketsandMarkets project the Global Cybersecurity Market to grow from $190.4 billion in 2023 to $298.5 billion by 2028, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. Meanwhile, Visiongain Reports predicts even faster expansion for the Quantum Cryptography market, with a forecasted CAGR of 29.3% through 2034.
