Quantum Threats Are Here—Why the Next Cybersecurity Boom May Already Be Underway April 01, 2025 - Baystreet.ca Issued on behalf of Scope Technologies Corp. VANCOUVER – USA News Group News Commentary – The quantum computing race is accelerating in 2025, and experts are no longer whispering warnings—they’re sounding alarms. WIRED recently ran a stark headline: The Quantum Apocalypse Is Coming. Be Very Afraid, referencing what cybersecurity professionals now call Q-Day—the moment a quantum computer can break today’s most common encryption in mere seconds. In response, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has not only finalized a set of post-quantum algorithms, but also designated a new backup encryption standard called HQC, alongside ML-KEM. Meanwhile, the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre has released its own migration plan for post-quantum readiness. With urgency mounting, investors are turning to companies already working on next-generation protections, including Scope Technologies Corp. (CSE: SCPE) (OTCQB: SCPCF), Akamai Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKAM), Gen Digital Inc. (NASDAQ: GEN), Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), and CyberArk Software Ltd. (NASDAQ: CYBR). The article continued: Market.us projects the Quantum Computing Software market will surge at a 40% CAGR through 2034 to reach US$31.8 billion, while Research and Markets expects the Post-Quantum Cryptography market to grow even faster (41.47% CAGR), reaching US$17.69 billion over the same period. Scope Technologies Corp. (CSE: SCPE) (OTCQB: SCPCF), a rising name in the post-quantum cybersecurity race, today announced significant infrastructure upgrades to the QSE platform, focused on enhancing system Redundancy, expanding Capacity, and optimizing Performance. These upgrades come in response to increased demand from both enterprise tenants and retail users, as well as in preparation for the launch of the QSE Mobile App announced earlier this month. Scope has recently signed multiple strategic partnership agreements and is now onboarding additional clients onto the QSE platform. In parallel, growing interest from retail users for QSE’s encrypted, quantum-resilient cloud storage has led to an increase in user activity and overall system usage. To support this growth, Scope has proactively invested in expanding its infrastructure. Internal benchmarks now indicate the QSE system is capable of processing millions of secure, encrypted messages per second, placing it in the same league as large-scale communication platforms such as WhatsApp and Signal—but with true round-trip quantum-resistant encryption built in. "The improvements we’ve made to system performance and reliability ensure that QSE can scale rapidly and securely," said Sean Prescott, Founder of Scope Technologies. "Whether for encrypted messaging, file storage, or enterprise data workflows, QSE is built to handle modern and future demands—with quantum resilience and distributed redundancy at the core of every transaction." With these upgrades in place, Scope is well-positioned to handle the influx of activity expected with the public launch of the QSE Mobile App and ongoing enterprise white-label deployments. Scope’s new platform offers encryption with no third-party data access—not even from Scope itself. Built to withstand both current and future threats, it features zero metadata exposure and integrates fully with the QSE Security Suite, giving organizations a secure, zero-trust ecosystem that avoids the vulnerabilities of email and public messaging apps. The official launch came on the heels of a $1.5 million private placement (which officially closed the first tranche on Monday), anchored by a $1 million investment from First Majestic Silver Corp., an early enterprise client now doubling down as a stakeholder. Scope will use the funds to finalize app development, currently preparing for closed alpha testing, and expand its decentralized encryption suite with a white-labeled, mobile-first option. With secure messaging demand rising and platforms like Telegram recently surpassing 1 billion active users and facing scrutiny over data handling, Scope sees an opening for enterprise-grade alternatives—especially in sectors like healthcare, finance, legal, and government, where privacy is non-negotiable. Momentum is building fast. In March, Scope signed a master reseller deal with Coegi Cloud AB, a Microsoft Solution Partner in Sweden, to expand across Europe and North America. Just days earlier, it secured a channel partnership with Asia-Pacific distributor COGITO, unlocking access to over 2,000 resellers and 40,000 institutional users across China, Singapore, and Australia. These deals follow February’s launch of the upgraded Quantum Preparedness Assessment (QPA), an AI-driven tool that helps businesses assess quantum vulnerabilities. Fully integrated with Risk Management Frameworks (RMFs) and aligned with upcoming U.S. HHS data security updates, QPA complements Scope’s broader QSE platform. The company’s trajectory points to more than just steady growth. It’s carving out a strategic position at the intersection of quantum risk, regulatory pressure, and enterprise demand—exactly when organizations are being forced to rethink security from the ground up. With “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” threats making headlines, Scope’s timing couldn’t be better. From secure messaging to quantum risk assessments, the company is positioning itself as an early and essential solution provider in a race that’s only just beginning.

(NASDAQ: AKAM), the cybersecurity and cloud computing company that powers and protects business online, recently signed a multi-year agreement to provide infrastructure support for kernel.org, ensuring long-term stability for the development of the Linux kernel—the backbone of the world’s most widely used open source operating system. The move supports thousands of global developers, many of them volunteers, who maintain the code that powers everything from smartphones to supercomputers and stock exchanges. "Like the rest of the world, Akamai depends on Linux," said Alex Chircop, Chief Architect, Akamai Cloud, and member of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation’s (CNCF) Technical Oversight Committee. “By supporting kernel.org, we're giving back to the community, just as we've done via our commitments to the [CNCF]. The foundation of our cloud platform is built on a long history of Linux and open source technologies. It's the Lin in Linode. By providing stable, secure, and unwavering support for kernel.org, we're doing our part to contribute to the preservation of the world's most widely deployed open source software, Linux." By hosting and securing the platform at no cost, Akamai reinforces its commitment to open source, adding to its long-standing contributions to Linux, CNCF projects, and the broader developer ecosystem.

Highlighted in the GigaOm Radar report, this solution strengthens Check Point’s Infinity Platform by helping organizations detect and mitigate external cyber risks more proactively and effectively. CyberArk Software Ltd. (NASDAQ: CYBR) has recently partnered with NSE Cogencis, a key financial data provider in India, to secure access to its critical infrastructure and improve operational efficiency. By implementing CyberArk Privilege Cloud and Remote Access, NSE Cogencis has automated privileged access, enforced Zero Trust principles, and adopted passwordless security for employees and vendors. "We are pleased that NSE Cogencis has chosen CyberArk to secure its critical assets with a modern privileged access management program," said Rohan Vaidya, Area Vice President, South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation & India at CyberArk. "As organizations continue to experience the proliferation of both human and machine identities, CyberArk is committed to offering them the highest level of control, management and security." The deployment enhances compliance readiness and enables just-in-time access with dynamic session monitoring, helping the IT team focus on core operations while reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
