The Quantum Computing Boom: Innovations, Investments, and Cybersecurity Risks

Issued on behalf of Scope Technologies Corp.

VANCOUVER, BC, Dec. 16, 2024 /CNW/ -- USA News Group News Commentary – Now that quantum computing capabilities are becoming a reality, thanks to another breakthrough, the future frontier of software innovation is nearer than ever. However, with the advent of the new Google Willow Chip, another very real concern is arising—the urgency of post-quantum cryptography migration. Quantum computers are likely to pose a severe threat to currently-used encryption practices. Behind the scenes, several innovative tech companies are working on quantum computing's capabilities both in problem solving and in cybersecurity, with recent developments coming from Scope Technologies Corp. (CSE: SCPE) (OTCQB: SCPCF), SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES), Arqit Quantum Inc. (NASDAQ: ARQQ, ARQQW), Quantum Computing Inc. (QCi) (NASDAQ: QUBT), and D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS).

The article continued: Experts are already saying that the new Willow Chip accelerates the time to market for quantum computing. According to a new report from Verified Market Research, the Cloud-Based Quantum Computing Market is expected to generate US$55.22 billion in revenue by 2031, growing at a 38% CAGR. As well, analysts at S&S Insider are projecting the Cloud Encryption Market to reach US$42.5 billion by 2032, growing at a 30.1% CAGR.

Scope Technologies Corp. Signs First Majestic Silver Corp. as Enterprise Client for their Quantum-resistant Encryption and Decentralized Data Vault Solutions

Scope Technologies Corp. (CSE: SCPE) (OTCQB: SCPCF), a pioneering technology company specializing in quantum security and machine learning (ML), today announced that First Majestic Silver Corp. has signed as an enterprise client for Scope's round-trip encrypted, immutable decentralized data storage and quantum-resilient security solutions.

"As we enter an age where quantum computing advancements, like Google's recent progress with their Willow project, accelerate the urgency for businesses to adopt quantum-resistant encryption and storage, companies must act decisively to future-proof their critical data," said James Young, CEO of Scope Technologies. "First Majestic's decision to utilize our quantum resistant encryption and data vault services underscores the growing recognition of the need for proactive measures in the face of rapidly evolving technology."

As part of Scope Technologies' comprehensive engagement process, First Majestic Silver Corp. underwent a custom Proof of Concept process, specifically designed to meet their stringent performance and security standards. This process included Scope's Quantum Preparedness Assessment, a rigorous evaluation of potential data vulnerabilities in a future quantum computing landscape. By addressing both present and anticipated risks, the assessment ensures that Scope's solutions integrate seamlessly with First Majestic's IT infrastructure while aligning with future-proofed quantum-resilient standards. This level of security reinforces data integrity across all stages of technological evolution, allowing Scope's enterprise clients to operate with confidence in a rapidly advancing digital era.

"Our solutions are designed to withstand both classical and quantum-level threats, ensuring the highest standards of encryption, immutability, and decentralization," said Sean Prescott, Founder of Scope Technologies. "We're proud to engage with First Majestic and support their commitment to quantum-resilient data protection."

The engagement represents a significant validation of Scope's technology.
