Cybersecurity in the Post-Quantum AI Era: SEALSQ Hosts Thought-Provoking Roundtable in Davos

Geneva, Switzerland – January 10, 2025 – SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES), a leader in semiconductors, public key infrastructure (PKI), and post-quantum technology, is joining forces with its parent company WISeKey International Holding Ltd to host a critical roundtable at Davos on January 22, 2025. The event will explore one of the most pressing issues of our time: “Cybersecurity in a Post-Quantum AI Era: What Happens When You Mix Generative AI with Quantum Computing?”
Event Details and Expert Panel
The roundtable will be held at the Morosani Schweizerhof in Davos, Switzerland from 10:30 am CET – 2:00 pm CET. This highly anticipated event will bring together a distinguished panel of thought leaders to examine how quantum computing and generative AI could reshape the future of cybersecurity and data protection.
The event’s focal point will be the challenges and opportunities posed by quantum computing’s ability to break classical encryption systems, which are vital to the security of sensitive data across industries. Discussions will address the need for post-quantum cryptography (PQC) solutions to safeguard against both current and future cyber threats.
Navigating the Quantum Threat
While it’s widely believed that quantum computing may take decades to mature fully, the urgency of its threat to conventional cryptographic systems cannot be ignored. Current cryptographic algorithms, such as RSA and ECC, may eventually be broken by powerful quantum computers, posing a serious risk to digital security. Experts at the roundtable will argue that organizations should start adopting post-quantum cryptography solutions now to stay ahead of quantum-based cyberattacks.
SEALSQ is at the forefront of providing quantum-resistant encryption technologies, helping organizations to ensure their data remains protected even in a post-quantum world. The roundtable will discuss the seamless transition to a quantum-safe era, emphasizing the importance of securing critical systems and data now rather than waiting for the quantum revolution to unfold.
Generative AI: Double-Edged Sword for Cybersecurity
While generative AI holds promise for enhancing creativity and automation, it also introduces new risks to cybersecurity. The ability of AI to generate realistic deepfakes, automate cyberattacks, and craft sophisticated malware puts organizations at greater risk. During the roundtable, panelists will discuss how AI can both strengthen cybersecurity by identifying vulnerabilities and threaten it by enabling attackers to scale up attacks at unprecedented speeds.
The discussion will also explore the ethical implications of generative AI and the regulatory frameworks needed to mitigate its potential for abuse. With AI potentially amplifying both the benefits and risks of cybersecurity, understanding this dual-edged nature is essential for shaping a secure future.
The Convergence of Quantum Computing and AI: A New Frontier
As quantum computing and generative AI converge, the potential for groundbreaking advancements in fields like healthcare, finance, and climate science is immense. However, this merger also brings new challenges. For example, quantum-resistant malware and AI-generated cyber tools could pose severe threats to global security.
Panelists at the roundtable will delve into the security risks associated with this fusion of technologies, exploring how institutions, governments, and private sector organizations must prepare for this rapidly evolving technological landscape.
