VANCOUVER – USA News Group News Commentary – Rapid technological advancement is expanding the capabilities of computing, data analysis, and creativity at an unprecedented pace. However, with the rise of quantum computing, which could take artificial intelligence (AI) to levels beyond current comprehension, several experts are sounding the alarm. In particular, we are being warned of a quantum apocalypse, dubbed “Q-Day”, where quantum-powered hackers can break into the world’s best-kept secrets in seconds. Now privacy and cyber security watchdogs are frantically urging businesses to migrate to stronger encryption methods by 2035. Despite currently being a “long-term cybersecurity risk”, analysts are reporting that quantum computing deserves immediate attention. From a market perspective, there is much to pay attention to, with developers of quantum computing and future-proof cybersecurity alike making major developments over the past few weeks, including those from Scope Technologies Corp. (CSE: SCPE) (OTCQB: SCPCF), IonQ, Inc. (NYSE: IONQ), Zscaler, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZS), Fortinet, Inc. (NASDAQ: FTNT), and Cloudflare, Inc. (NYSE: NET).
The article continued: Analysts at Research and Markets project the Post-Quantum Cryptography market to explode at a 41.47% CAGR through to hitting US$17.69 billion by 2034. Whereas analysts at Market.us project the Quantum Computing Software Market itself to grow at 40% CAGR to hit US$31.8 billion by 2034 as well.
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.
