VANCOUVER – Baystreet.ca News Commentary — Autonomous AI-driven cyberattacks are executing multi-step intrusions without human intervention as December 2025 marks what security experts call a critical inflection point requiring governed AI defense systems[1]. The industrial cybersecurity market is expanding rapidly as manufacturing, energy, and infrastructure sectors adopt digital technologies while facing sophisticated threats targeting control systems and encrypted data[2]. Companies advancing quantum-secure platforms and AI-powered defense architectures are gaining momentum, including Scope Technologies Corp. (CSE: SCPE) (OTCQB: SCPCF) (FSE: VN8) (now operating as QSE - Quantum Secure Encryption Corp.), Quantum eMotion Corp. (TSXV: QNC) (OTCQB: QNCCF), Palo Alto Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: PANW), CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRWD), and Fortinet, Inc. (NASDAQ: FTNT).
Quantum-safe encryption market projections forecast growth to nearly $10 billion by 2034 at 39.5% CAGR as organizations face mounting pressure from cryptographic upgrade timelines that will take years rather than months[3]. Security experts predict machine-versus-machine warfare where AI systems engage in real-time combat with adversarial AI[4], requiring security operations centers to make complex tactical decisions at machine speed against attackers using AI to analyze security postures and self-modify behavioral patterns in real time.
Scope Technologies Corp. (CSE: SCPE) (OTCQB: SCPCF) (FSE: VN8)—now operating as QSE - Quantum Secure Encryption Corp—just launched QSE-Chat, a quantum-secure mobile messaging app now available on both Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Built exclusively for enterprise clients on the QSE Vault platform, the app enables fully encrypted one-to-one messaging and secure file sharing designed for government agencies, healthcare systems, financial institutions, and large enterprises requiring high-security communication tools.
Unlike traditional messaging apps relying on legacy encryption, QSE-Chat uses quantum-resilient entropy and zero-trust architecture to protect every message and file against both modern and emerging threats, including Harvest-Now-Decrypt-Later attacks. While publicly available for download, access requires an active QSE Vault enterprise account and tenant, ensuring all communications remain contained within each organization's encrypted environment. Version 1 features include quantum-secure peer messaging with all messages encrypted using post-quantum entropy, and secure file sharing with a copy-only architecture that ensures permanent audit trails and tamper-proof documentation retention.
"The launch of QSE-Chat marks a major step toward providing enterprises and government agencies with true quantum-secure communication," said Sean Prescott, Quantum Evangelist of QSE Corp. "Version 1 delivers the essential foundation, with future features already in development to become one of the world's most secure and fully controlled communication platforms."
The company recently announced a corporate rebrand from Scope Technologies Corp., with the ticker symbol transitioning to QSE on the Canadian Securities Exchange, subject to regulatory acceptance. The rebrand aligns the corporate identity directly with its core focus on quantum-secure data protection for the post-quantum era.
Earlier in November, QSE achieved Level 2 Certification under the CyberSecure Canada program, validating advanced cybersecurity controls and enabling engagement with government stakeholders at all clearance classification levels, including Secret Level on cybersecurity-related projects. The company also formed a strategic partnership with Urban Defense Tactics (UDT), extending presence into Cambodia and Hong Kong with an anchor deployment serving multiple Cambodian clients across casino, banking, and financial-services sectors. As part of the collaboration, QSE will co-architect UDT's planned Level-3 data centre, integrating post-quantum cryptography directly into the facility's core design.
The QSE Group division signed a distributor agreement with Enzo Plus, representing quantum-resilient technologies across more than 300 channel partners throughout Southeast Asia. In October, QSE released QSE.API, the first publicly accessible interface delivering quantum-secure entropy to developers and enterprise security architects.
The company strategically acquired Cloud Codes for CAD $1.78 million, bringing established SSO infrastructure and revenue-generating capabilities into the ecosystem. The global SSO market is projected to exceed US$6 billion by 2032, while the post-quantum cryptography market is expected to reach $17.69 billion by 2034. Earlier this year, the company secured expansion capital through a C$2.8 million financing round backed by institutional investors.
