Background of the Study
Cybersecurity is a critical concern for financial institutions, especially in the age of digital banking, where data breaches, identity theft, and cyberattacks have become increasingly common. In Nigerian banks, including Zenith Bank in Sokoto State, protecting sensitive financial data and ensuring the security of online banking platforms is paramount. Traditional cybersecurity methods, such as firewalls, encryption, and intrusion detection systems, have served their purpose, but the rapid evolution of cyber threats requires more advanced techniques. Quantum computing, with its ability to process vast amounts of data in parallel and solve complex problems at unprecedented speeds, offers promising solutions for enhancing cybersecurity.
Quantum machine learning (QML) combines the power of quantum computing with machine learning techniques to create more efficient and secure models for detecting threats and preventing attacks. By leveraging quantum algorithms to analyze large datasets, QML can potentially identify cybersecurity risks that classical machine learning models might miss. This study aims to explore how quantum machine learning algorithms can be applied to strengthen cybersecurity in Nigerian banks, with a focus on Zenith Bank in Sokoto State.
Statement of the Problem
The rise in cyberattacks targeting Nigerian banks has led to concerns over the effectiveness of traditional cybersecurity methods. As cybercriminals employ increasingly sophisticated techniques, banks must adopt more advanced technologies to stay ahead of potential threats. While machine learning has made strides in improving cybersecurity, its limitations in handling large datasets and identifying new, evolving threats remain. Quantum machine learning, however, holds the promise of transforming cybersecurity by offering faster, more accurate threat detection capabilities. This study seeks to address the need for a more robust cybersecurity framework at Zenith Bank by analyzing the potential of quantum machine learning algorithms to enhance the bank's security infrastructure.

Significance of the Study
This study is significant as it explores the potential of quantum machine learning to revolutionize cybersecurity in Nigerian banks, specifically at Zenith Bank. By incorporating quantum computing into their security systems, Nigerian banks could improve their ability to detect and mitigate cyber threats, ensuring the safety of customers' financial data and maintaining trust in digital banking systems. The findings could also pave the way for the broader adoption of quantum machine learning in the banking sector.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study will focus on the application of quantum machine learning algorithms to enhance cybersecurity at Zenith Bank in Sokoto State. Limitations include the availability of quantum computing resources and the integration of quantum algorithms with existing cybersecurity infrastructure at the bank.
