Wake Up Call to Alarming Increases of Cyber Threats

A recent study from CrowdStrike reported that customers faced more cyber intrusions in the first six months of 2020 than in ALL of 2019. Researchers observed an increase in malicious activity by 154% compared to 2019. This is a wake up call to your cybersecurity!

Remote work forced by the pandemic has compromised network securities, companies and government agencies are seeing system failures on a day-to-day basis. Recently ransomware took a cruel turn costing a patient her life in Germany. ZDNet reported, “…. the woman, who needed urgent medical care, died after being re-routed to a hospital further away, as a nearer hospital was in the midst of dealing with a ransomware attack.” We can be better prepared.

As we know quantum computing power is rapidly accelerating. IBM just launched a quantum computer that can solve real world problems. However, cyber threats will also amplify in the world of quantum computers and it is ignorant to believe our current security systems, such as RSA can continue to protect us.

Quantum-safe encryption is the only solution to the cyber threats in this digital age. You can be cybersmart by using IronCAP encryption. IronCAP’s cryptographic technology will provide a quantum-safe, bulletproof shield for your data today and in the quantum future.

Quantum-Safe Encryption Wake Up Call

There is an urgent need for quantum-safe encryption. This is a fact based on information from industry leaders, investments made by government agencies and large corporations. Here are some facts from 2020:

  1. The U.S. Department Of Energy (DOE) invested $625 million on Quantum Research Science Centers and awarded $115 million to Quantum Systems Accelerator (QSA).
  2. Honeywell just launched its latest quantum computer with a quantum volume of 64 qubits and said it will increase its quantum volume 10-fold every year.
  3. IBM research director predicts a Quantum App store is arriving soon – a code repository where software developers can make their written code available to anyone.
  4. And IBM just committed to a functioning quantum computer with a 1,121 qubits quantum volume by 2023. A quantum computer that can tackle genuine real-world calculations.

From Google declaring Quantum supremacy in October 2019 to IBM claiming that we are already in the decade of Quantum Computing at the CES 2020 to then all of the quantum advancements above, we are certain the Quantum Computing revolution is accelerating dramatically! In fact, quantum hacking may be happening already. The world needs to be quantum-safe for pre and post quantum threats NOW.

Back in 2016, the National Security Agency (NSA) asked government agencies and companies to ACT NOW and be quantum-safe. Even industry expert Jeremy Kahn has said, “Quantum computers threaten to end digital security.” Our current securities systems such as RSA cannot protect you from quantum hacking.

IronCAP provides cryptographic quantum-safe encryption for your most valued asset AKA data. It can provide bulletproof encryption at a low cost for businesses and individuals. IronCAP’s technology is quantum-safe, fast, secure and has been vetted by industry leaders and corporations.

IronCAP’s encryption is the “vaccine” to the upcoming “Quantum Pandemic”.  Get your “immunization” TODAY!

Cyber Attacks Have No Boundaries

There are cyberattacks on corporations and government bodies daily. We have all heard of the famous Twitter hack where a number of high-profile politicians and tech leader accounts were hacked to scam people into transferring their cryptocurrency. Blockchain and cryptocurrency are not immune to hacking. A newly discovered family of malware, KryptoCibule, has been stealing cryptocurrency from users since December 2018, as per security firm ESET.

Quantum computing is now accelerating rapidly into commercial applications and that unfortunately will also include quantum hacking. The good news is that IronCAP has already successfully built a quantum-safe encryption that protects you from pre-quantum and post-quantum threats.

Clearly, cryptography is the key and quantum-safe encryption is the bulletproof vest for your data. Your traditional computers are not quantum-safe and cannot withstand the power of quantum hacking.  BUT IronCAP’s patent-pending cryptographic technology can make you quantum-safe.

If the year 2020 has not opened your eyes on the urgency to make your data quantum-safe, then nothing will. Quantum cryptography is a foolproof way to prevent hacking. Implement IronCAP’s cryptographic technology and be QUANTUM-SAFE, today and tomorrow.

Want To Encrypt Against Phishing Scams?

A cyber cold war is here so we need to encrypt our data. This week Bloomberg reported phishing hacks on European government officials, diplomats, and other global players to gather economic intelligence about the pandemic.

COVID-19 has reset our thinking on email security, end-to-end email encryption is now critical more so with the imminent arrival of quantum technology. Today, most cyber-attacks begin with a simple phishing email designed to hack all your data and it will be easier in the post-quantum world BUT quantum-safe, end-to-end email/file encryption can protect your organization and data from “Phishermen”. IronCAP X is the world’s first commercialized quantum-safe application for end-to-end email encryption AND it is FREE for personal users.

IronCAP X will change your outlook on email security and end phishing scams. Sending sensitive information such as legal documents, financials and other business contracts will be 100% secure as IronCAP X’s encryption ensures that only the intended recipients can read the messages. Easily accessible, IronCAP X email encryption software is FREE for personal usage and comes with a “seamless invitation” mechanism that will automatically insert an invitation message to non-IronCAP X recipients facilitating them to sign up easily for IronCAP X in order to read the encrypted message.

So stop sweating data security, its 100% safe, here right now and even in the future quantum world. Use it…(IronCAP X) or lose it..(your data)
