VANCOUVER, BC, March 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Equity Insider News Commentary – Whether quantum computing becomes a commercial reality in the near future or remains years away, the threat it poses to current encryption methods is undeniable, making quantum security a growing priority. A recent McKinsey report highlights the rapid expansion of quantum computing investments, emphasizing the critical need for post-quantum cryptography to safeguard sensitive data. Analysts project the quantum communication market to grow at a 23-25% CAGR, reaching $14.9 billion by 2035, with post-quantum cryptography making up $2.4 billion to $3.4 billion of that total. As a result, investors are increasingly focusing on both quantum computing developers and the companies working to protect against its risks, including Scope Technologies Corp. (CSE: SCPE) (OTCQB: SCPCF), Palo Alto Networks (NYSE: PANW), Alphabet, Inc. (Google) (NASDAQ: GOOG, GOOGL), Cisco Systems (CSCO), and WISeKey International Holding AG (NASDAQ: WKEY).

Quantum advancements are moving at an unprecedented pace, creating new possibilities while exposing serious security vulnerabilities. Europol has warned that failure to transition to post-quantum encryption could lead to a digital crisis of historic proportions, urging financial institutions and policymakers to act swiftly. As cybercriminals adopt “harvest now, decrypt later” tactics—stealing encrypted data today with plans to decrypt it once quantum computers become viable—the race to implement quantum-safe cryptography has never been more urgent.

Scope Technologies Corp. (CSE: SCPE) (OTCQB: SCPCF), a pioneering technology company specializing in quantum security, has made a big leap forward with its Quantum Preparedness Assessment (QPA) tool. The company recently announced that QPA is now fully integrated with a widely used risk management system, making it easier for businesses to evaluate and protect themselves against future cyber threats from quantum computing. Using AI-powered automation, this upgraded tool helps organizations quickly and accurately assess their risks, plan their security strategies, and stay ahead of potential quantum-based attacks.

“As quantum threats loom closer, businesses must act now to evaluate and strengthen their security infrastructure,” said Sean Prescott, Founder and 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.”

As quantum computing advances, traditional encryption methods are becoming easier to break. One major concern is the “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” (HNDL) strategy, where cybercriminals steal encrypted data today, knowing that future quantum computers will be able to decode it.

Recent breakthroughs, like Google’s Willow chip in December 2024, and Microsoft’s Majorana 1 processor in February 2025, show how fast the landscape of quantum technology is progressing.

Google’s Willow chip has demonstrated computing power at speeds previously thought impossible, while Microsoft’s Majorana 1 uses a new type of qubit designed to make quantum computing more stable and scalable.

With real-world quantum applications on the horizon, businesses need to assess their risks now and take action before these threats become a reality.

To help companies stay ahead, QSE Group, the quantum security division of Scope Technologies, has developed an AI-powered assessment tool that simplifies the process of evaluating quantum-related risks. This automated tool provides clear, actionable insights to help businesses protect their sensitive data and infrastructure—without requiring a large investment.

Scope’s upgraded Quantum Preparedness Assessment (QPA) offers key advantages, including full integration with widely used risk management frameworks. Its AI-driven automation helps businesses identify vulnerabilities faster and with less manual effort. The tool also features an easy-to-use questionnaire system that customizes assessments based on each organization’s needs. Now market-ready, this solution allows companies to proactively strengthen their quantum security before threats become urgent.

Prior to the QPA incorporation, Scope affirmed that its Quantum Security Entropy (QSE) platform is fully aligned with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) proposed updates to the HIPAA Security Rule. These updates are designed to strengthen protections for healthcare data against growing cybersecurity threats.

Shortly after this announcement, the company demonstrated strong market confidence in its progress by securing $2.8 million in new funding. This includes a $1.8 million private placement and a $1 million debt financing deal with its first enterprise-level client, First Majestic Silver. These funds are now available to support further growth and innovation.

Scope Technologies is rapidly expanding its team and product lineup, reinforcing its leadership in next-generation quantum-proof security. With QSE already in the market and gaining traction, the company remains focused on delivering practical, real-world solutions to safeguard critical data now and in the future.
