Quantum Threats and State-Backed Cyberattacks Are Forcing a Rethink of Digital Security
Issued on behalf of Scope Technologies Corp.
VANCOUVER – Baystreet.ca News Commentary – Amid rising geopolitical tensions, experts are warning about dangerous cyber security threats on the horizon. Federal officials have signalled alarm of increased risk for cyber attacks, specifically coming from Iran. These warnings come from the Department of Homeland Security, while other attacks are already happening around the world, such as a cyber attack on Glasgow City Council in Scotland, and major attacks on US insurers, including Aflac. On top of this, the Government Accountability Office just issued a report titled Quantum Computing: Leadership Needed to Coordinate Cyber Threat Mitigation Strategy, highlighting quantum computing power in the wrong hands as one of the biggest threats out there. At the innovation level, tech developers are working diligently to better secure digital data at all levels, with recent updates from Scope Technologies Corp. (CSE: SCPE) (OTCQB: SCPCF), Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRWD), A10 Networks, Inc. (NYSE: ATEN), and Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT).
Analysts at Grand View Research expect the post-quantum cryptography market to grow at 37.6% annually through 2030, while Research and Markets projects an even steeper CAGR of 41.47%, hitting US$17.69 billion by decade’s end. For retail investors, the shift is already creating new entry points.
Scope Technologies Corp. (CSE: SCPE) (OTCQB: SCPCF) has been invited to present at DEF CON 33’s Quantum Village this August in Las Vegas - an announcement that places the company in rare company among post-quantum security innovators.
The session, titled “Quantum Malware: The Emerging Threat Landscape of Post-Quantum Cryptographic Exploits,” will be delivered by newly appointed CEO Ted Carefoot, and will explore how quantum algorithms like Shor’s and Grover’s are enabling the next generation of malware. Topics include real-time session hijacking, Grover-powered brute-force password cracking, AI model poisoning, and crypto wallet keybreaking—all reimagined through the lens of quantum computing.
“This isn’t theoretical anymore,” said Carefoot. “Quantum-powered adversaries will soon be able to bypass encryption, hijack sessions, and poison AI classifiers at a pace defenders have never seen. Our goal at DEFCON is to help the security community understand these risks and how they may impact their current cryptographic systems"
The DEF CON announcement follows Carefoot’s recent elevation to CEO, after previously serving as Scope’s VP of Product. With past cybersecurity leadership roles at Electronic Arts and Disney Online Studios, and certifications in Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC), Integrated Data Privacy, and RMF implementation, Carefoot brings deep technical credibility to the company’s next phase.
The company’s flagship platform, QSE (Quantum Security Entropy), combines decentralized encrypted cloud storage with true quantum entropy generation, providing a scalable defense against modern and next-generation threats. QSE features include round-trip encryption, zero-trust architecture, HIPAA-aligned compliance, and no metadata retention—designed specifically to neutralize the “harvest now, decrypt later” risk increasingly flagged by industry experts and government agencies. Internal benchmarks indicate that QSE can handle millions of encrypted messages per second, combining the scale of high-volume platforms with end-to-end quantum-resistant encryption.
Earlier this year, Scope completed significant upgrades to the QSE platform to improve performance, redundancy, and cross-platform load balancing. A brand and interface relaunch for QSE Group followed shortly after, making the platform more accessible to enterprise clients and white-label partners through tools like the Quantum Preparedness Assessment (QPA). The upcoming QSE Mobile App will bring the platform’s core encryption and secure messaging features to iOS and Android, including support for regulated verticals like healthcare, legal, and financial services.
Scope’s growing ecosystem also includes international collaborations. The company recently joined forces with World Cyber Health (WCH), the global nonprofit behind Malware Village, to contribute QSE expertise to public and private sector readiness efforts. The company has also expanded its enterprise distribution reach, including reseller agreements with Asia-Pacific distributor COGITO and Swedish Microsoft partner Coegi Cloud AB—together opening access to more than 40,000 institutional users.
On the capital side, Scope completed a $2.8 million raise earlier this year, backed in part by First Majestic Silver Corp., a former pilot customer that has since become a strategic investor. The second tranche closed in April and will fund client onboarding, mobile development, and continued scaling of the company’s infrastructure and partner channels.
With analysts projecting post-quantum cryptography to become a multi-billion-dollar market before 2030, Scope’s early positioning as a purpose-built, quantum-resilient platform is drawing increasing attention. Its invitation to DEF CON’s Quantum Village isn’t just a validation of technical leadership—it’s a signal that the broader security community is beginning to prioritize the very challenges QSE was designed to solve.

Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) and CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRWD) have partnered to roll out Falcon for AWS Security Incident Response, a bundled program offering Falcon’s AI-powered protection to AWS customers at preferred rates.
"Speed is everything in cybersecurity," said Daniel Bernard, Chief Business Officer at CrowdStrike. “When cloud intrusions spread at ever-accelerating speeds, organizations can’t afford to wait hours – or days – for help. Falcon for AWS Security Incident Response puts the proven protection of the Falcon platform into the hands of AWS customers the moment they need it – making AI-powered incident response faster, smarter, and more accessible than ever."
The initiative delivers faster breach detection, improved triage, and seamless deployment through the AWS Marketplace, enhancing both security posture and operational efficiency. CrowdStrike’s Falcon platform is now verified as “Deployed on AWS,” ensuring compatibility across enterprise-scale environments.
"In the evolving threat landscape, cloud security needs to be powerful, practical, and properly priced," said Hart Rossman, Director of Security Incident Response at AWS. "Falcon for AWS Security Incident Response checks all three boxes – integrating CrowdStrike's AI-native Falcon platform with our enterprise-grade security services at optimized pricing through AWS Marketplace, creating exceptional value for our joint customers."
With reported detection improvements of 96% and significantly shorter investigation times, the solution addresses growing demand for real-time, cloud-native security tools. This collaboration highlights how both companies are advancing cybersecurity integration at the infrastructure level to meet rising threats.
A10 Networks, Inc. (NYSE: ATEN) has been tapped by Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT) to deliver advanced cybersecurity for its most sensitive AI infrastructure. The partnership supports real-time protection for mission-critical generative AI workloads, including DDoS mitigation and high-performance application defense.
A10’s expertise in securing hybrid, edge, and hyperscale cloud environments makes it well-suited to meet the resilience demands of AI-driven systems.
"We’re proud to support the buildout of the world’s most advanced AI platforms as part of a collaboration and help ensure continuous protection for billions of transactions powering tomorrow’s innovation," said Dhrupad Trivedi, Board Chair and CEO of A10.
