VANCOUVER – Equity Insider News Commentary – Yesterday’s widespread Cloudflare outage took X, ChatGPT, and critical services offline for hours, exposing how single infrastructure points can cripple the digital economy[1]. Meanwhile, security researchers warn that threat actors are actively harvesting encrypted data today to decrypt later with quantum computers, creating urgent demand for next-generation defenses[2]. Organizations are responding with quantum-resistant cryptography, AI-powered threat detection, and pre-emptive security platforms from innovators including Scope Technologies Corp. (CSE: SCPE) (OTCQB: SCPCF), Gen Digital Inc. (NASDAQ: GEN), Science Applications International Corporation (NASDAQ: SAIC), OneSpan Inc. (NASDAQ: OSPN), Cognyte Software Ltd. (NASDAQ: CGNT).

Analysts at MIT Technology Review project that 73% of organizations recognize quantum computing will force cryptographic overhauls, with most expecting major transitions within 18 to 24 months[3]. Recent breaches at Logitech, Harvard University, and federal agencies through Oracle zero-day exploits demonstrate that infrastructure vulnerabilities and emerging quantum threats are converging faster than legacy security can adapt.

Scope Technologies Corp. (CSE: SCPE) (OTCQB: SCPCF) (FSE: VN8) announced a strategic partnership with Urban Defense Tactics (UDT), a security and infrastructure consultancy serving enterprise, gaming, and financial organizations across the Asia Pacific region. The partnership immediately extends the company’s presence into Cambodia and Hong Kong, beginning with an anchor deployment for multiple Cambodian clients. This installation establishes a reference site that UDT will leverage across its broader customer base, supporting potential follow-on projects within the region’s casino, banking, and financial-services sectors.

As part of the collaboration, Scope will co-architect UDT’s planned Level-3 data store centre, integrating post-quantum cryptography and the company’s Quantum Random Number Generator technology directly into the facility’s core design. Embedding quantum-resilient infrastructure from the outset creates a repeatable architecture for organizations seeking to modernize their data-protection practices. Building on UDT’s established presence in physical and venue security, the partnership extends capabilities into cybersecurity and quantum-safe data-centre infrastructure.

“This collaboration supports organizations that are beginning to evaluate how quantum-era risks will affect their existing security frameworks,” said Ted Carefoot, CEO of Scope Technologies Corp. “Working with UDT allows us to contribute to regional infrastructure projects where quantum-safe design can be implemented from day one, rather than retrofitted after vulnerabilities emerge.”

Earlier this month, Scope achieved Level 2 Certification under the CyberSecure Canada program, administered by Cyber Security Canada and recognized by the Standards Council of Canada. Building on its Level 1 certification earned in September 2025, this milestone validates that the company has implemented and verified advanced cybersecurity controls, risk-management processes, and governance frameworks. The Level 2 Certification, combined with the company’s team of CSP-accredited professionals, enables Scope to engage government stakeholders at all levels of project clearance classifications, including Secret Level on cybersecurity-related projects.

Also this month, Scope’s QSE Group division signed a value-added distributor agreement with Enzo Plus, a regional technology provider operating in Malaysia and Singapore. Through this partnership, 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.

Late in October, Scope announced the release of QSE.API, the first publicly accessible interface delivering quantum-secure entropy to developers and enterprise security architects. The API enables organizations to autonomously generate and deploy true quantum entropy for encryption key creation without requiring new hardware or external dependencies.

The company strategically acquired Cloud Codes, an India-based SSO and cloud platform, for CAD $1.78 million, bringing established infrastructure and revenue-generating capabilities into the Scope ecosystem. Market positioning appears compelling as 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, providing runway for continued product development and market expansion.

Gen Digital Inc. (NASDAQ: GEN) has launched AI-powered Scam Guardian for Android and iOS devices, responding to escalating mobile threats where over 80% of all attacks blocked by Gen Threat Labs have been scams and social engineering attempts. The company blocks four scam attacks on mobile every second, with the new solution proactively identifying and stopping threats across calls, texts, emails and web browsing before they reach users.

“Scams don’t shout anymore – they whisper,” said Leena Elias, Chief Product Officer at Gen. “They sound like a normal phone call, look like a text about a parcel you’re expecting, or an email from someone you trust. They blend into the rhythm of everyday life – across the same inboxes, web pages, and calls you rely on to stay connected. Avast Scam Guardian Pro works proactively to block scam calls before they ring, and flags suspicious texts and emails before they reach you.”

The solution combines Call Guard for automatic scam call blocking, Email Guard for context-aware threat detection, and SMS Guard for sophisticated text message scam identification. Initially available in France and Germany, Avast plans to roll out these scam protection features globally soon as mobile threats continue to intensify.

Science Applications International Corporation (NASDAQ: SAIC) has partnered with OpsHub to operationalize a fully automated digital thread inside ReadyOne, the company’s digital engineering ecosystem, directly addressing Pentagon mandates under DoDI 5000.97 and MOSA for modular, open architectures. The collaboration enables government agencies and enterprises to create complete digital threads across software development, product engineering, MBSE, and change management without requiring teams to abandon existing toolsets, as OpsHub connects over 70 platforms out-of-the-box.

“This partnership with OpsHub provides our nation’s armed forces and intelligence agencies with expanded solution offerings to accelerate their adoption of SAIC’s ReadyOne digital engineering practices,” said Chris Finlay, Vice President of Innovation at SAIC. “Missions are quickly evolving and we must bring in advanced technologies that enhance transparency, improve collaboration and deliver greater impact – all while being scalable and maintainable.”

The solution delivers vendor-agnostic integration that aligns with the Pentagon’s Data Strategy (VAULTIS) and Digital Engineering Ecosystem (DEE) requirements, treating data as a visible, linked, and trusted asset rather than scattered documents. By enabling automated data flow across multi-tier, multi-contractor programs without performance impact, SAIC and OpsHub are positioning the offering as compliant-on-paper and actionable-in-practice for defense and intelligence applications.

OneSpan Inc. (NASDAQ: OSPN) has been selected by Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank and SCSK Corporation to deploy the first cloud-based FIDO authentication solution for mobile banking in Japan, addressing account takeover fraud losses totaling approximately ¥690 billion in 2025 alone. The implementation comes as Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) has proposed amendments to supervisory guidelines that would make phishing-resistant authentication mandatory for financial institutions.

“We are proud to be chosen by SuMiTB and SCSK for this landmark project,” said Victor Limongelli, CEO at OneSpan. “This selection not only underscores OneSpan’s leadership and credibility in Japan’s rapidly evolving FIDO market, but also demonstrates our ability to deliver enterprise-scale, phishing-resistant authentication that meets the highest regulatory standards. We are committed to helping financial institutions protect their customers and set new benchmarks for digital security.”

Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank is taking authentication beyond traditional login verification by integrating FIDO directly into mobile banking transactions, designed to eliminate account impersonation risks and sophisticated phishing schemes. OneSpan Cloud Authentication provides rapid deployment scalability while enabling organizations to meet strict regulatory requirements across digital channels, with the platform supporting multiple authentication protocols including FIDO UAF, passkeys, and Cronto solutions.

Cognyte Software Ltd. (NASDAQ: CGNT) was recognized as a Sample Vendor in the 2025 Gartner Emerging Tech Impact Radar: Preemptive Cybersecurity report in the Cybersecurity Precrime Platforms category, acknowledging the company’s GenAI-powered approach to anticipating threats before they materialize. The recognition comes as cyber threats become increasingly AI-driven, with the rapid adoption of GenAI by threat actors intensifying the challenge of fragmented visibility and slow response times.

“As threats become increasingly AI-driven, organizations need to stay one step ahead with proactive, intelligence-led defense,” said Gil Cohen, Chief Product Officer at Cognyte. “LUMINAR, Cognyte’s external threat intelligence solution, harnesses GenAI-powered analytics and capabilities to deliver contextual, actionable insights that can change the game. This approach is called ‘preemptive cybersecurity’ that helps our customers predict, investigate and neutralize emerging threats before they materialize.”

Cognyte’s LUMINAR solution unifies cyber threat intelligence, digital risk protection, and external attack surface management into a single threat exposure management view powered by GenAI. Unlike solutions providing early warnings based solely on raw data, LUMINAR delivers actionable contextualized threat intelligence that enables customers to reduce risk, accelerate investigations, and strengthen operational resilience across increasingly complex threat landscapes.
