Our journey began with Quantum Shield, a potential Data Assurance application designed to tackle data poisoning by protecting machine learning models from adversarial attacks. Quantum Shield leverages Quantum Machine Learning (QML) techniques to enhance model resilience. While a promising solution, our market validation process revealed that there was a limited user understanding of data poisoning risks, lack of data management practices and scepticism around AI’s “black box” nature. Additionally, the absence of urgent demand for data assurance limited Quantum Shield’s immediate desirability as a standalone commercial product.
The Cybersecurity quantum algorithm could be run on HPC using classic computing for now but wouldn't be as fast or be able to keep up with the threat of super-fast quantum computers in the next 5-10 years which bad actors will also have access to. With advancements happening at lightspeed it's important for companies to start thinking about quantum cybersecurity now.
