A global warning on the eve of the quantum era
"Quantum disruption will not begin with critical-infrastructure giants. Small and midsized businesses that connect those large systems will experience the first impacts."
— Eric Adolphe, CEO
SAN ANTONIO, TX, UNITED STATES, December 10, 2025 — Forward Edge-AI announced today that Chief Executive Officer Eric Adolphe will speak at the WISeKey Davos Roundtable, where leaders in government, defense, and advanced technology will address the accelerating reality of quantum enabled cyber threats. Adolphe’s remarks will highlight the rapidly growing national-security risk facing the world’s middle-market businesses, a segment now recognized as the most vulnerable point in the global digital economy.
Quantum computing is advancing faster than many anticipated, and adversaries are already harvesting encrypted data to decrypt once quantum capability matures. As regulations tighten and quantum timelines contract, middle-market operators, including manufacturers, eCommerce platforms, logistics networks, and point-of-sale systems, face a perfect storm of limited resources, outdated encryption, and deep reliance on interconnected supply chains.
Middle-market businesses now represent the weakest link in the global economy, and 2026 marks the point where action becomes unavoidable or a cascading failure across the digital marketplace becomes inevitable. Fortune 100 enterprises can field teams of cryptographers, while the middle market cannot. Yet these organizations move the goods, process the payments, and uphold the digital trust on which every major economy relies. Adolphe’s remarks will highlight the urgent need for affordable, drop-in post-quantum protection, engineered specifically for the constraints of the middle market.
