Potential AI-Driven and Quantum Attacks Skyrocket—These Future-Ready Platforms Aim to Stop Them

Issued on behalf of Scope Technologies Corp.

VANCOUVER – Baystreet.ca News Commentary – Computing power is racing ahead faster than ever, and the danger to our data is rising with it. In Germany, 74% of firms in the 2025 Data Threat Report rank rapid AI advances as their biggest GenAI risk. The United Kingdom’s new 10-year economic plan centers on AI, cybersecurity, and quantum computing, while Singapore’s ST Engineering just hosted its largest Cybersecurity Summit, attracting more than 1 000 leaders to tackle quantum- and AI-driven threats. As risks spread worldwide, forward-looking players are rolling out next-generation defenses, including Scope Technologies Corp. (CSE: SCPE) (OTCQB: SCPCF), Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN), Rubrik, Inc. (NYSE: RBRK), Palo Alto Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: PANW), and SentinelOne, Inc. (NYSE: S).

Grand View Research says sales of post-quantum cryptography will climb 37.6% a year through 2030. Research and Markets is even more optimistic, predicting 41.47% yearly growth and a market worth about US$17.7 billion by the end of the decade. That rapid rise is already opening fresh doors for retail investors.

Scope Technologies Corp. (CSE: SCPE) (OTCQB: SCPCF) is a quantum-focused cybersecurity company best known for Quantum Security Entropy (QSE), its cloud platform that locks files and messages inside quantum-resilient encryption and a zero-trust framework. QSE uses randomness drawn from quantum processes to stop both today’s hackers and tomorrow’s “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks.

Earlier this week, Scope strengthened its team for the second time in a month, tapping Microsoft and Electronic Arts alumnus Andrew Knight to serve as Vice-President of Product—a hire that caps six weeks of rapid leadership change and signals fresh momentum for the company’s quantum-ready security platform.

Knight’s task is clear: accelerate the road map for Quantum Security Entropy (QSE), the cloud platform that stores files and messages inside quantum-resilient encryption. QSE pairs zero-trust architecture with true entropy—randomness drawn from quantum processes—to stop both today’s hackers and tomorrow’s “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks.

"I'm incredibly excited to join Scope Technologies at such a transformative time," said Knight. "The rise of quantum threats demands proactive solutions, and QSE is uniquely positioned to deliver. I look forward to helping shape its next evolution—bringing together my experience in scalable production pipelines, external ecosystems, and secure product innovation."

Knight brings almost twenty years of experience guiding cross-functional game and cloud projects, most recently at Microsoft’s Coalition Studios. At Scope he will channel that know-how into speeding up the road map for QSE, the firm’s quantum-resilient encryption platform. His brief covers everything from new feature design to partner integrations, giving QSE a product chief who speaks the language of both engineers and enterprise buyers.

His arrival follows the June promotion of long-time product lead Ted Carefoot to Chief Executive Officer, a move that shifted the company’s focus from R & D to go-to-market execution. Carefoot’s background in governance, risk, and compliance shaped QSE’s zero-trust architecture and HIPAA-aligned security posture, and industry watchers expect that focus on regulation to continue under his watch.

Together, the newly-appointed duo brings decades of game-scale infrastructure, compliance, and enterprise sales experience to a platform already benchmarked at millions of encrypted messages per second.

"As Scope Technologies scales its business, having the right leadership at the intersection of technology, operations, and strategic partnerships is key," said Carefoot. "Andrew brings a rare combination of deep technical execution and commercial strategy honed across several sectors such as digital interactive media. Procurement, and partner relationships. His leadership will be central as we evolve QSE's architecture and expand its adoption across enterprise security environments."

At the upcoming DEF CON 33 conference in Las Vegas in August, Scope Technologies will step onto the main stage at Quantum Village to outline how quantum algorithms could power a new wave of malware that cracks passwords, hijacks live sessions, and breaks crypto-wallet keys in real time. The talk, led by Carefoot and titled “Quantum Malware: The Emerging Threat Landscape of Post-Quantum Cryptographic Exploits,” puts the company in a short list of post-quantum security players chosen to brief the global hacker community—an endorsement that underscores the market’s growing focus on quantum-ready defenses.

Scope Technologies’ upcoming QSE mobile app will carry the platform’s encryption and secure messaging to iOS and Android, with features tuned for healthcare, legal, and financial users.

The company is also widening its global footprint. It has teamed up with nonprofit World Cyber Health, the group behind Malware Village, to share QSE expertise with public and private security teams. New reseller deals with Asia-Pacific distributor COGITO and Swedish Microsoft partner Coegi Cloud AB open access to more than 40 000 institutional users.

On the financing front, Scope Technologies secured a $2.8 million raise earlier this year, supported in part by First Majestic Silver Corp., a former pilot customer that is now a strategic investor. The second tranche, closed in April, will fund client onboarding, mobile rollouts, and further scaling of infrastructure and partner channels.

By pairing fresh executive talent with a live, quantum-ready product, Scope is positioning itself as a go-to provider for businesses that need to secure data long after today’s encryption standards expire.

Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN) has teamed its SealingTech unit with NCS Technologies to ramp Cyber Hunt Kit production for the U.S. Department of Defense, targeting a five-times increase to meet urgent demand. NCS will mass-produce standardized server nodes at its 108 000 sq ft facility in Manassas, while SealingTech handles final integration at a 35 000 sq ft site in Maryland.

Co-located teams enable real-time decisions and faster delivery, and the partners’ ISO-certified supply chains promise mission-ready hardware. The expansion underscores Parsons’ role in supplying frontline cyber-operations tools as defense agencies brace for more sophisticated digital threats.

Rubrik, Inc. (NYSE: RBRK) has again been named a Leader, ranked furthest for completeness of vision, in Gartner’s 2025 Magic Quadrant for Backup and Data Protection Platforms—its sixth straight year in that spot.

"We believe our position as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant validates our comprehensive approach to cyber resilience across cloud, SaaS, and on-premises data," said Bipul Sinha, CEO, Chairman, and Co-founder of Rubrik.

SentinelOne, Inc. (NYSE: S) is integrating its AI-powered threat-detection engine into OPSWAT’s Metascan Multiscanning under a new OEM deal aimed at hardening critical-infrastructure networks. Layering SentinelOne analytics on Metascan’s 30-engine array pushes detection accuracy past 99 percent and stops polymorphic malware that evades signature-based tools. The cloud-independent solution supports both Windows and Linux and rolls out immediately across MetaDefender Core, ICAP Server, and Kiosk offerings.

"OPSWAT's mission is to ensure the secure and compliant flow of data across the world's critical infrastructure," said Tom Mullen, Senior Vice President, Business Development, OPSWAT. "Integrating SentinelOne's AI detections strengthens Metascan's multilayered defense, giving our customers faster, smarter protection against today's most sophisticated threats."

The partnership expands SentinelOne’s multi-layered, AI-driven security footprint as zero-day and ransomware attacks continue to rise.
