VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 2, 2024 /CNW/ — USA News Group News Commentary – Ransomware is on the rise, according to the IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report 2024, with the global average cost of a data breach reaching $4.88 million this year, for a 10% increase over 2023. As computing power and technology advances, so too does the ability of cybercriminals to penetrate vulnerabilities, with 55% of companies reporting modern cybercriminals are now more advanced than their internal teams. With the rise of quantum computing the G7 Cyber Expert Group (CEG) recently advised the G7 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors encouraging jurisdictions to monitor quantum computing development, and begin planning for the potential risks quantum computing poses on some current encryption methods. Several tech developers are currently working on AI-powered, and future-proof quantum computing security to protect data today and tomorrow, with recent developments coming from, including: Scope Technologies Corp. (CSE: SCPE) (OTCQB: SCPCF), Gen™ (NASDAQ: GEN), Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE: PLTR), Veritone, Inc. (NASDAQ: VERI), and SentinelOne, Inc. (NYSE: S).

The article continued: Swedish multinational telecom Telia has warned that the rise of AI technology has increased the risk of cyber-attacks targeting businesses. The Federal Communications Commission addressed the need for better telecom security, forcing T-Mobile to pay $31.5 million in data protection and cybersecurity settlements after investigations into data breaches that impacted millions of US consumers.

Scope Technologies completes updates for Retail User Subscription Model for Fully Encrypted, Quantum-Resilient, and Decentralized Cloud Storage

Scope Technologies Corp. (CSE: SCPE) (OTCQB: SCPCF), a pioneering technology company specializing in quantum security and machine learning, today announced the successful completion of updates for its new retail subscription model, offering full access to its industry-leading encrypted, quantum-resilient, and decentralized cloud storage solutions. Having reached this key milestone, Scope Technologies is now in closed user group testing gearing up for the official launch, which will deliver top-tier data protection solutions to individual users and small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs).

As the global demand for secure, immutable data storage continues to rise, Scope Technologies’ QSE (Quantum Security & Entropy) platform delivers enhanced protection through a combination of post-quantum encryption and decentralized storage, ensuring data is safeguarded against both current and future cyber threats. Unlike standard cloud backups, QSE’s decentralized approach ensures that data remains immutable and resistant to ransomware and denial of service attacks, among many others.

“Data protection should not be a luxury,” said Sean Prescott, Founder and CTO of Scope Technologies. “Having completed the updates to our decentralized storage network, we are excited to bring the power of quantum encryption and decentralized storage to a wider audience. This solution ensures that individuals and businesses can protect their data not only from current threats but also from the unprecedented risks posed by quantum computing and ransomware.”

With updates now complete, Scope Technologies is gearing up to launch its decentralized cloud storage service, QSE, for retail users. This service provides robust data security through quantum-proof encryption, utilizing quantum entropy to create unbreakable encryption keys, even against future quantum computing threats. The decentralized infrastructure ensures that data is immune to tampering, over-encryption, or corruption, offering far superior protection compared to traditional cloud backups. Additionally, the service is designed for seamless integration with existing systems, allowing for easy setup and scalability via simple APIs. Scope’s affordable subscription plans make enterprise-level security accessible to individuals and small to medium-sized businesses, ensuring comprehensive data protection at competitive rates.

The upcoming retail subscription model will offer tiered pricing plans based on storage needs, with access to additional services such as increased entropy calls for enhanced encryption. This flexible pricing structure allows users to scale as their storage demands grow, all while maintaining the highest level of data security available today. Unlike traditional storage services, QSE’s decentralized, immutable infrastructure ensures that data remains secure and untouchable by attackers, offering a significant improvement over centralized cloud backups.
