VANCOUVER – USA News Group News Commentary – Organizations managing enterprise cloud infrastructure are confronting a certificate management emergency as industry mandates reduce TLS certificate validity periods from 398 days to just 47 days by 2029, with machine identities now outnumbering human identities 82 to 1 and threatening system-wide outages that cost organizations millions per hour[1]. Security teams struggle as cloud environments grow increasingly complex, with 81% of enterprises experiencing cloud-related security breaches in the past year while juggling hybrid architectures, distributed workloads, and authentication mechanisms across thousands of applications and users[2]. Companies advancing quantum-resilient platforms, automated certificate lifecycle management, and unified security architectures are drawing institutional attention, including Scope Technologies Corp. (CSE: SCPE) (OTCQB: SCPCF), CyberArk Software Ltd. (NASDAQ: CYBR), Zscaler, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZS), Marvell Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRVL), and Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT).
Federal agencies face urgent post-quantum cryptography requirements as CISA prepares December 2025 product category lists establishing standards across data management, networking, and enterprise endpoint security ahead of quantum computing threats. The quantum-safe encryption market is projected to reach nearly $10 billion by 2034 at 39.5% annual growth as organizations face cryptographic upgrade timelines requiring years of infrastructure transformation rather than months, with industry experts estimating government and enterprise networks may need a decade or more to fully transition due to legacy system complexity.
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.

In other industry developments and happenings in the market include:
CyberArk Software Ltd. (NASDAQ: CYBR) has unveiled free tools to help organizations prepare for dramatic reductions in TLS certificate lifespans, which will shrink from 398 days today to just 47 days by 2029. The TLS Certificate Renewal Impact Calculator and TLS Certificate Discovery Scan address a looming operational crisis where companies managing 500 certificates could see labor requirements surge from 2,000 hours annually to over 24,000 hours, while CyberArk research shows 72% of security leaders experienced certificate-related outages in the past year.
“Shorter certificate lifespans are more than a compliance shift — they are a business risk,” said Kurt Sand, General Manager of Machine Identity Security at CyberArk. “Organizations will face a surge in renewals that manual processes simply cannot keep up with. The result is higher costs, operational strain, and potential system outages that can result in financial and reputational impact. Our new tools make it simple for security leaders to understand their exposure and build a strong case for automation before disruptions occur.”
The new tools are part of CyberArk’s broader Identity Security Platform capabilities, helping organizations transition to automated certificate management before the CA/Browser Forum’s phased mandate requiring at least eight renewals per year takes effect. With 67% of organizations already facing monthly certificate outages and 45% experiencing them weekly, the shift to automation is becoming critical for maintaining system uptime and reducing operational costs.
Zscaler, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZS) has published findings revealing a 67% year-over-year surge in Android malware transactions alongside a 387% spike in attacks targeting the energy sector’s critical infrastructure. The Zscaler ThreatLabz 2025 Mobile, IoT, and OT Threat Report identified 239 malicious applications on the Google Play Store that collectively garnered 42 million downloads, with India accounting for 26% of mobile attacks and the US representing 54% of IoT attack activity.
“Attackers are pivoting to areas with maximum impact. We’re seeing a YoY rise of 67% in malware targeting mobile devices and 387% in IoT/OT attacks on energy sectors often hosting critical infrastructure, which is a massive swing,” said Deepen Desai, EVP and Chief Security Officer at Zscaler. “A Zero Trust everywhere approach, combined with AI-powered threat detection, is imperative to reducing the attack surface, limit lateral movement, and provide organizations the defense they need against ever-evolving attacks.”
The report revealed that Manufacturing and Transportation sectors each accounted for 20.2% of IoT malware attacks, representing over 40% of total incidents, while the Mirai, Mozi, and Gafgyt malware families collectively account for roughly 75% of all malicious payloads in IoT environments. Zscaler’s Zero Trust Branch and Cellular offerings address these mounting threats by delivering comprehensive security for mobile, IoT, and OT technologies through continuous verification and AI-driven threat detection across the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange platform.
Marvell Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRVL) has expanded its collaboration with Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT), bringing Marvell LiquidSecurity hardware security modules to Microsoft Azure customers in Europe following two new European certifications achieved earlier this year. The expansion enables Microsoft Azure to deliver cloud-based services for certifying cross-border contracts and verifying identification documents with a single LiquidSecurity 2 HSM adapter capable of managing up to 1 million encryption keys while processing more than 1 million operations per second.
“We congratulate Marvell on achieving eIDAS and CC EAL4+ certification of its LiquidSecurity HSMs, which power our Azure Key Vault, Azure Key Vault Managed HSM and Cloud HSM services,” said Soumya Subramanian, vice president of Cloud Security Engineering at Microsoft Azure. “Through our collaboration with Marvell, we are able to offer Azure’s customers working in the electronic identity and passport space the most secure and compliant key management services available in public, sovereign or government clouds today.”
The certifications under eIDAS and Common Criteria EAL4+ frameworks position Marvell’s cloud-based HSMs to replace traditional 1U and 2U server appliances with PCIe-based devices powered by Marvell OCTEON DPUs that consume a fraction of the power and rack space required by legacy systems. The partnership enables cloud service providers to deliver HSM services across dense, multi-tenant environments while helping users transition from managing complex hardware to subscribing to automated HSM services that support secure medical records and other high-volume transactions.
