ATREYD Featured in Forbes: Rising Drone Threats Ahead of Global Events

ATREYD was included in a Forbes article examining the rising drone threat facing high-profile U.S. events in 2025 and beyond. With the FIFA World Cup, Olympic Games, and America 250 celebrations all drawing massive crowds, experts warn that low-cost drones are becoming one of the most accessible and dangerous tools for bad actors. Forbes tapped ATREYD CEO Jean-Marc Pizano for insight on how modern conflicts are reshaping counter-UAS preparedness at home.

What the Company Said

“For years, the warning signs have been clear: drones have become cheap, weaponizable, and scalable faster than traditional defense systems can adapt,” said Jean-Marc Pizano, CEO of ATREYD, which builds next-generation anti-drone systems deployed in Ukraine and other conflict zones. “Jamming does not work anymore… technology is cheap and devastating, causing 70% of human losses on the battlefield.”
Pizano emphasized that events like the World Cup and Olympics cannot rely on legacy defenses: “The technology exists today, but delaying deployment leaves major events exposed to low-cost, high-impact attacks.”

About the Article

In the Forbes piece, reporter Peter Suciu explores how drone incursions have spiked across the U.S. – from NFL stadiums to civilian airspace – and why large gatherings now represent a prime target. The reporting highlights gaps in current detection and mitigation capabilities, the slow pace of legislation, and new vulnerabilities emerging from cheap commercial drones, swarms, and even fiber-optic-controlled systems that can’t be jammed.

ATREYD’s inclusion provides real-world perspective from active conflict zones, reinforcing how quickly adversarial drone tactics are evolving and why U.S. venues must adapt before 2026 and 2028 global events.

Why It Matters

Public safety officials and venue operators are under increasing pressure to secure skies that are more congested, more autonomous, and more unpredictable than ever. ATREYD’s appearance in Forbes underscores several industry-wide truths:

• Drone threats are no longer theoretical — they’re growing faster than current defenses.
• Major global events in the U.S. will face unprecedented airspace risk in 2025–2028.
• Legacy counter-UAS systems cannot detect or stop emerging tactics.
• New capabilities already exist.

This feature helps establish ATREYD, and Jean-Marc Pizano, as a critical voice and thought leader, in counter-UAS innovation at a moment when national attention is intensifying. This was a prime opportunity to position a client as a leader in a space where swift changes are happening to regulations and investment in the drone space.
