VANCOUVER, March 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — USA News Group News Commentary – The pace of technological change is accelerating fast—reshaping how we compute, analyze data, and create. But as quantum computing inches closer to reality, cybersecurity experts are raising serious red flags. One major concern? “Q-Day”—a looming event where quantum-powered attackers could crack today’s strongest encryption in mere seconds. With that threat on the horizon, regulators and privacy watchdogs are urging organizations to adopt quantum-resistant encryption before 2035. Although some still treat it as a long-term risk, analysts are warning that quantum computing deserves immediate attention. Recent developments in both quantum innovation and next-generation cybersecurity underscore that this is no longer just a theoretical issue. Over the past few weeks, several key players have made strategic moves in the space—among them Scope Technologies Corp. (CSE: SCPE) (OTCQB: SCPCF), Qualys, Inc. (NASDAQ: QLYS), CyberArk Software Ltd. (NASDAQ: CYBR), Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CSCO), and NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA).

The article continued: According to Research and Markets, the Post-Quantum Cryptography market is on track to surge at a 41.47% CAGR, reaching an estimated US$17.69 billion by 2034. Meanwhile, Market.us projects the Quantum Computing Software market will expand at a 40% CAGR over the same period, climbing to US$31.8 billion.

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.

By tapping into Qualys’ enterprise base, MSSPs gain new revenue opportunities while enabling CISOs to shift from reactive defense to proactive, data-driven risk management.

CyberArk Software Ltd. (NASDAQ: CYBR), is sounding the alarm on a growing cybersecurity blind spot—machine identities. In its newly released 2025 State of Machine Identity Security report, the company found that 72% of organizations suffered at least one certificate-related outage in the past year, while half reported breaches tied to compromised machine identities.

“Machine identities of all kinds will continue to skyrocket over the next year, bringing not only greater complexity but also increased risks,” said Kurt Sand, GM of Machine Identity Security at CyberArk. “Cybercriminals are increasingly targeting machine identities – from API keys to code signing certificates – to exploit vulnerabilities, compromise systems and disrupt critical infrastructure, leaving even the most advanced businesses dangerously exposed. This research highlights the urgency for security leaders to establish a comprehensive, end-to-end machine identity security strategy that tackles the non-human identities that matter most to prevent potential attacks and outages—especially as AI agents continue to rise and the quantum attack timeline shortens.”

As AI and cloud-native adoption accelerate, machine identities like API keys and tokens are exploding in number—outpacing humans and creating blind spots across fragmented security teams. With nearly 80% of leaders expecting a 150% surge in machine identities this year, CyberArk is positioning itself as a critical safeguard in an era where identity is the new cybersecurity perimeter.

Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CSCO) and NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA) are doubling down on secure enterprise AI with the launch of the Cisco Secure AI Factory—an end-to-end infrastructure solution purpose-built for AI workloads. Designed to embed security at every layer, from the hardware stack to the application level, the platform will combine Cisco’s AI Defense tools and Hybrid Mesh Firewall with NVIDIA’s accelerated compute and networking capabilities to help organizations scale AI without compromising security.

“AI can unlock groundbreaking opportunities for the enterprise,” said Chuck Robbins, Chair and CEO, Cisco. “To achieve this, the integration of networking and security is essential. Cisco and NVIDIA’s trusted, innovative solutions empower our customers to harness AI’s full potential simply and securely.”

This architecture arrives at a critical moment, as data centers transform into “AI factories” and demand soars for infrastructure that can support model training, deployment, and governance at scale. Cisco and NVIDIA’s approach offers both pre-configured and modular options, giving enterprises the flexibility to integrate their existing systems while aligning with AI security frameworks like NIST and OWASP. By merging high-performance networking with real-time threat detection and workload protection, the companies are laying the groundwork for a new category of infrastructure—one where AI innovation and zero-trust security go hand in hand.

“AI factories are transforming every industry, and security must be built into every layer to protect data, applications and infrastructure,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO, NVIDIA. “Together, NVIDIA and Cisco are creating the blueprint for secure AI—giving enterprises the foundation they need to confidently scale AI while safeguarding their most valuable assets.”

In the news release, Applied Intuition Collaborates with Heidelberg Materials to Advance Innovation in Quarry Operations with Autonomous Haulage Fleets, issued 30-Apr-2026 by Applied Intuition, Inc. over PR Newswire, we are advised by the company that changes have been made. The complete, corrected release follows, with additional details at the end:

Applied Intuition Collaborates with Heidelberg Materials to Advance Innovation in Quarry Operations with Autonomous Haulage Fleets

Deployment brings intelligent, vehicle-based autonomy to Australia, establishing a new operating model for construction and mining environments.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 30, 2026 /CNW/ — Applied Intuition, Inc., a leader in physical AI, today announced its collaboration with Heidelberg Materials, one of the world’s largest integrated manufacturers of building materials and solutions, to deploy autonomous haulage systems for Heidelberg Materials’ quarry operations, starting at a site in Australia.

Applied Intuition will provide its Self-Driving System (SDS) for Construction to support autonomous haulage operations within Heidelberg Materials’ fleet of construction and mining vehicles in Australia. The deployment marks the next real-world application of Applied Intuition’s autonomy platform in industrial environments. Upon successful completion, it will support the expansion of autonomous operations within Heidelberg Materials’ broader Australian network.

The collaboration also challenges the standard industry model. While autonomy solutions traditionally target the largest quarry sites, this system is designed for smaller operations, including those running just two 40-ton trucks, making it deployable across quarry sites of varying size worldwide.

“No two quarry or construction sites operate the same way, with different layouts, constraints and economics,” said Qasar Younis, co-founder and CEO of Applied Intuition. “We’ve built our platform to adapt to that reality. This partnership shows we can take the same core system used in large mining operations and apply it to smaller, infrastructure-constrained quarry sites, scaling it across hundreds of unique locations.”

For Heidelberg Materials, the partnership is aimed at enhancing safety and operational performance. It also reflects the need for an autonomy solution that can operate at large sites and smaller ones too, whereas traditional autonomous haulage systems are often too infrastructure-heavy or costly to scale. For Applied Intuition, it serves as a proof point that its autonomy platform is designed not just for one-off deployments, but for global scale across construction, quarry and mining environments of any size.

Applied Intuition’s system runs directly on the vehicle, with integrated perception, decision-making and safety systems onboard, enabling reliable operation without constant connectivity or heavy site infrastructure.

The collaboration builds on Applied Intuition’s growing presence in construction and mining autonomy and reinforces its broader physical AI strategy. The same core platform has already been deployed in other industries, including trucking and defense, with learnings from each domain contributing to continuous system improvements. Applied Intuition’s SDS platform strategy also enables the company to bring technologies proven in other domains into construction and mining, helping accelerate development and deployment.

Through this project, Applied Intuition demonstrates the range of its autonomy platform, from some of the largest mining trucks in the world to smaller quarry vehicles operating in constrained, lower-infrastructure environments. Together, these deployments highlight the company’s approach to building scalable autonomy for construction and mining from the ground up.
