Hackers Log In While Quantum Looms: Why 83% Are Scrambling To Upgrade

Issued on behalf of Scope Technologies Corp.

VANCOUVER – Baystreet.ca News Commentary — Businesses are racing to protect their data from two massive security threats converging at once. Quantum computers expected by 2035 will be powerful enough to crack today's encryption in hours[1], while hackers are increasingly bypassing security by simply stealing login credentials rather than breaking through firewalls[2]. The combination is forcing companies to completely rebuild how they protect sensitive information and control who gets access to their systems. This shift is creating opportunities for companies building next-generation security platforms, with recent developments from Scope Technologies Corp. (CSE: SCPE) (OTCQB: SCPCF), Jamf Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: JAMF), ADTRAN Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADTN), Zscaler, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZS), and CyberArk (NASDAQ: CYBR).

The numbers show how urgent this has become. Deloitte reports that 83% of organizations are already evaluating quantum risks, yet most still lack clear plans for upgrading their systems[3]. At the same time, critical infrastructure from telecommunications to healthcare is being hit with attacks that exploit weak authentication, with hackers now "logging in" rather than "breaking in" to steal data[4]. Companies that can deliver both quantum-resistant encryption and modern access control are positioned at the center of a security transformation that analysts expect will generate billions in spending over the next decade.

Scope Technologies Corp. (CSE: SCPE) (OTCQB: SCPCF) (FSE: VN8) recently announced its QSE Group division has signed a non-exclusive value-added distributor (VAD) agreement with Enzo Plus Asia Pte Ltd., a regional technology provider operating in Malaysia and Singapore.

Through this collaboration, Enzo Plus will represent QSE Group's quantum-resilient data protection technologies across more than 300 channel partners and system integrators throughout Southeast Asia, significantly strengthening the company's reach in one of the world's fastest-growing technology markets.

By leveraging Enzo Plus' established presence, including local offices, sales teams, and technical personnel in Malaysia and Singapore, QSE Group gains scalable regional coverage and faster customer response times without substantial fixed operational costs.

"This collaboration is a meaningful step forward in our mission to make enterprise-grade quantum security a global standard," said Ted Carefoot, CEO of QSE Group — a Scope Technologies Division. "Enzo Plus provides the regional expertise, partner network, and on-the-ground support necessary to help organizations across Southeast Asia adopt true quantum-resilient protection today—not years from now."

The collaboration provides immediate access to localized market intelligence and regional credibility, lowering customer acquisition costs, shortening sales cycles, and accelerating adoption among enterprise and government clients.

Enzo Plus' developing footprint in Indonesia further expands reach across the region, positioning QSE Group to capture opportunities in emerging markets where digital transformation, government modernization initiatives, and data sovereignty requirements continue to drive demand for advanced security solutions.

“We see this as more than a distributor agreement—it’s a regional alliance built on shared vision and innovation,” said Desmond Teo, Founder and CEO of Enzo Plus. “Together with QSE, we aim to make quantum-resilient security a practical reality for every organization in Southeast Asia.”

The Southeast Asia expansion builds on recent momentum as the company released QSE.API, the first publicly accessible interface delivering quantum-secure entropy to developers, IT teams, and enterprise security architects across industries.

The API enables organizations to autonomously generate and deploy true quantum entropy for encryption key creation and secure communications without requiring new hardware, middleware, or external dependencies. Key features include NIST SP 800-22 compliant quantum entropy on demand with low latency and high throughput, hardware-free integration, and enterprise-grade controls with statistical verification and performance monitoring.

"The release of QSE.API marks a pivotal step in our mission to make quantum-resilient security accessible and autonomous," said Carefoot. "By enabling organizations and developers alike to generate and manage their own quantum entropy keys directly within their systems, we're empowering them with independence and control --- the cornerstones of true data security. This API is the cornerstone of our broader mission to democratize post-quantum security."

Scope Technologies also released QSEaaS V2, an enhanced version offering user experience comparable to mainstream cloud services like Google Drive or Dropbox while maintaining zero-trust, quantum-secure foundation. The integrated Decentralized Cloud Storage network leverages IPFS-based encryption and data distribution with regionalized redundancy for compliance, high availability, and total data sovereignty.

The company achieved Level 1 certification under the CyberSecure Canada program, validating adherence to robust cybersecurity practices and positioning it for government and enterprise contracts requiring verified security frameworks. As an active member of the Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries (CADSI), Scope continues building credibility within defense and critical infrastructure sectors.

The company also recently acquired Cloud Codes, expanding its authentication and storage ecosystem through established infrastructure and revenue-generating capabilities. Market positioning appears compelling as the global SSO market is projected to exceed US$6 billion by 2032, while post-quantum cryptography is expected to reach $17.69 billion by 2034.

Now, moving forward, the company earlier this year secured C$2.8 million in expansion capital backed by institutional investors, providing runway for continued product development and market expansion.
