Researchers Map Six-Stage STRIDE Threats Across Quantum-as-a-Service Pipeline
Researchers from the University of Jyväskylä have released a six-stage STRIDE threat model that maps attack surfaces across the full Quantum-as-a-Service pipeline used by IBM Quantum, Amazon Braket, and IonQ. The matrix organizes published quantum attacks, classical inheritances, and under-studied gaps, while identifying three cross-stage chains that elevate overall risk. Full technical details and the threat matrix appear in the arXiv preprint accepted as a QCE26 poster.
