With a Growing Quantum Computing Threat, Consider these 5 Stocks Before They Run January 15, 2026 - Baystreet.ca Distributed on behalf of 01 Quantum Inc.Quantum computing may be a game-changer.It may be able to help solve problems far too complex for typical computers within minutes, or even seconds. It could even be used to discover new drugs, quicker than even imagined.Unfortunately, it also comes with potential pitfalls, with negative impacts on just about every part of everyday lives including banking systems, email communications, communications, AI systems, national defense, and billions of dollars’ worth of cryptocurrencies.For example, the arrival of Q-Day, the moment when it is anticipated quantum computers will be capable of breaking widely used encryption, represents a looming threat to digital security.Compounding this is the growing risk presented by “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks where adversaries stockpile encrypted data for future quantum decryption. While technology leaders are beginning to adopt post-quantum cryptographic methods, most public blockchains remain vulnerable. To help, 01 Quantum Inc. (TSXV: ONE) (OTCQB: OONEF), for example just filed a US Patent Application for its Quantum DeFi Wrapper (QDW) technology to protect DeFi operations from being attacked by quantum computer attacks.Other companies racing to defend against quantum computing threats include Okta Inc. (NASDAQ: OKTA), Check Point Software (NASDAQ: CHKP), Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW), and Fortinet (NASDAQ: FTNT).In addition, 01 Quantum Inc. and Hitachi Solutions Create, Ltd. Announced Availability of “DoMobile Ver.5,” a Remote Access System Enhanced with Post‑Quantum Cryptography01 Quantum Inc. and Hitachi Solutions Create Ltd. (HSC), a core IT Company of Hitachi Group headquartered in Japan, today announced that HSC has officially launched DoMobile Ver.5, powered by 01 Quantum’s post-quantum cryptography (PQC) technologies, and is now available to customers in Japan as of today, January 15, 2026. This long‑standing remote access platform, supporting secure remote work since 2002, now incorporates PQC designed to withstand attacks from emerging quantum computers.The addition of PQC significantly strengthens the security of remote access communications, helping organizations mitigate the growing risk of quantum‑enabled cyberattacks and maintain stable, long‑term operational continuity.The corresponding press release by HSC can be found at:https://www.hitachi-solutions-create.co.jp/company/newsrelease/2026/0115_01/Yusaku Kurata, Executive Officer, Business Division Manager at HSC, commented: "Since its launch in 2002 DoMobile has helped organizations maintain secure and reliable remote access. With DoMobile Ver.5, we are taking the next major step by integrating post‑quantum cryptography to protect our customers from emerging risks such as Harvest Now, Decrypt Later attacks. By adopting NIST‑standardized PQC ahead of the industry, we are ensuring that our users can continue working safely and confidently well into the quantum computing era."Andrew Cheung, CEO of 01 Quantum, added, "The transition to post‑quantum security is no longer theoretical, it is an operational necessity. Our collaboration with HSC on DoMobile Ver.5 demonstrates how organizations can begin securing their remote access infrastructure today against tomorrow’s quantum‑enabled threats. We’re proud to support a solution that brings PQC to market early and makes advanced protection accessible to tens of thousands of users without added cost or complexity."Addressing the Rising Threat of Quantum‑Era CyberattacksHybrid work has become a permanent fixture for many organizations, but remote environments continue to face heightened exposure to cyber threats. Traditional public key cryptography methods such as RSA and ECC have historically provided robust protection due to the computational difficulty of breaking them with conventional computers.However, advances in quantum computing have raised concerns that these widely used encryption methods could be compromised sooner than expected. This risk is particularly acute in the context of “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later (HNDL)” attacks, in which adversaries collect encrypted data today with the intention of decrypting it once quantum capabilities mature. Sensitive information such as medical records and financial transaction data requiring long‑term confidentiality is especially vulnerable.As a result, global momentum is building around the adoption of PQC, which is designed to remain secure even in the presence of quantum computers. Standardization efforts are well underway, and financial regulators, including the Financial Services Agency, are urging institutions to begin transitioning to PQC to safeguard critical information over the long term.A Proven Remote Access Platform, Now Quantum‑ResilientHSC has delivered the DoMobile remote access system for more than two decades, serving approximately 7,000 companies and 36,000 users, particularly within the security‑sensitive financial sector. During the COVID‑19 pandemic, DoMobile played a key role in enabling secure work‑from‑home operations across Japan.With DoMobile Ver.5 HSC is introducing software product with PQC capabilities ahead of competitors in Japan offering resistance to quantum‑based cyberattacks. DoMobile Ver.5 is designed to enhance the security of remote access communications while supporting uninterrupted and stable use during remote work operations.Key Features of DoMobile Ver.51.

Existing customers can access the upgraded functionality simply by applying the latest update with no optional contracts required.4. First to Market in JapanAs of January 15, 2026, according to HSC, no other remote access software in Japan offers PQC functionality. DoMobile Ver.5 positions HSC at the forefront of secure remote access technology in the quantum era.Other related developments from around the markets include:Okta, Inc. just approved a share repurchase program with authorization to purchase up to $1 billion of its Class A Common Stock, effective immediately. This program underscores Okta’s confidence in its business, conviction in its significant long-term opportunities, and view that its shares are undervalued. In addition, the company just “delivered another quarter of solid results highlighted by continued strength with large customers, adoption of new products like Okta Identity Governance, and strong cash flow,” said Todd McKinnon, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Okta. “Our modern, neutral identity platform enables companies to safely build, manage, and govern every identity, including agents. Okta secures AI and we are excited about the recent launch of Auth0 for AI Agents. AI agents are redefining how organizations work, and Okta is key to securing this technology transformation. We are confident in our strategy and excited to carry this momentum into the fourth quarter and beyond.”Check Point Software, a pioneer and global leader of cyber security solutions, today announced its new Check Point Quantum Firewall Software, R82.10, introducing 20 new capabilities designed to help enterprises safely adopt AI, protect distributed environments and simplify Zero Trust across hybrid networks. “As organizations embrace AI, security teams are under growing pressure to protect more data, more applications and more distributed environments,” said Nataly Kremer, Chief Product Officer at Check Point Software Technologies. “R82.10 helps enterprises shift to a prevention-first model by unifying management, strengthening Zero Trust and adding protections that support safe, responsible AI adoption and development.” Enterprises are rapidly increasing their use of AI tools and LLM development, expanding connectivity across users, branches and cloud environments. This creates new risks, including AI-generated threats, identity abuse and configuration drift. R82.10 addresses these challenges with unified, prevention-first capabilities that improve visibility, control and protection across hybrid mesh networks.Palo Alto Networks, the global cybersecurity leader, today released its annual "State of Cloud Security Report 2025," exposing how AI is driving a massive expansion of the cloud attack surface. As cloud infrastructure grows to host the influx of AI workloads, it has become a critical target, with 99% of respondents reporting at least one attack on their AI systems within the past year. Simultaneously, the rise of GenAI-assisted vibe coding, used by 99% of respondents, is generating insecure code faster than security teams can review it. Of the 52% of teams that ship code weekly, only 18% are able to fix vulnerabilities at that pace, leaving unaddressed risks compounding rapidly across cloud environments. As noted by Elad Koren, Vice President of Product Management, Cortex, “As organizations aggressively scale cloud investments to power AI initiatives, they are inadvertently opening the door to sophisticated new attack vectors. Our research confirms that traditional approaches to cloud security are inadequate, leaving security teams to fight machine-speed threats with fragmented tools and slow, manual fix cycles. Teams need more than just dashboards highlighting risks they can never burn down; they must transform with an agentic-first platform that spans code to cloud to SOC to finally operate faster than the adversary."Fortinet, the global cybersecurity leader driving the convergence of networking and security, today announced the Fortinet Secure AI Data Center solution, built in close collaboration with leading technology partner Arista Networks, deployed at Monolithic Power Systems (MPS). This solution unites best-of-breed networking and security to deliver a validated, scalable, zero-trust architecture for the AI data center. “AI infrastructure is advancing faster than most organizations can secure or operationalize it.
