Forum Systems Launches QS Platform 10, a Sovereign AI Platform for Running Enterprise AI Agents Across Private and Public Models

Unifies API security, AI orchestration and governance in one platform that deploys on-premises, in private cloud or hybrid, licensed by capacity rather than tokens. Domain solutions for healthcare, contracts and finance follow, beginning in Q1 2027.

BOSTON, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Forum Systems and its subsidiary Quantum Gears today announced the immediate availability of QS Platform 10, a sovereign AI platform that lets enterprises and governments run AI agents and intelligent workflows on their own terms, across both private and public large language models.

QS Platform 10 unifies QS Sentry, QS Cortex and QS DevX into one foundation for connecting enterprise systems, orchestrating AI and governing every action AI takes. Organizations can deploy it on-premises, in private or public cloud, or across a hybrid of all three, and build on the applications, APIs and information assets they already have instead of standing up a separate stack for AI.

Sovereign by choice, not by isolation

For most enterprises, sovereignty does not mean giving up public models. It means deciding where each workload runs and enforcing that decision consistently, across every application and agent.

QS Cortex routes each request to the appropriate private or public model based on the customer's data policies, quality requirements and cost, and records where each request ran. Sensitive workloads can stay on infrastructure the customer controls, while others draw on leading commercial models where they add value. The same governance applies everywhere: private where it matters, public where it helps, governed throughout.

One platform, three capabilities

QS Sentry — secure connectivity and execution. Built on Forum Sentry, QS Sentry provides the API gateway, integration and security layer through which applications and AI agents reach enterprise systems. Authentication, authorization, policy enforcement, message transformation and transaction logging keep agent actions inside controlled interfaces. QS Sentry deploys as software, virtual images or hardware appliances, including in air-gapped and federal environments.

QS Cortex — enterprise intelligence and agent runtime. QS Cortex combines enterprise knowledge retrieval, agent orchestration and policy-driven routing across private and public models. It brings forward the guardrails, data-loss prevention, role-based access and multi-model capabilities proven in production with QS SecureGPT, now extended to governed agent execution.

QS DevX — unified development and management. QS DevX gives developers, AI engineers and platform teams one place to discover, build, document and monitor APIs and AI agents, so enterprise capabilities are built once and reused across teams.

Security that lives in the platform, not the code. In QS Platform 10, authentication, access control, encryption, certificate rotation and consumer onboarding are managed once, in the platform, rather than written into each API or AI application. Whether code is written by developers or generated by AI, it stays focused on business logic, and a security change is made in one place instead of across every service and agent.

For organizations that need dedicated sovereign compute, QS Platform 10 can run on QS Nano, Quantum Gears' AI infrastructure deployed within the customer's own facilities.

QS Platform 10 architecture: Unifies secure connectivity, AI orchestration and governance across private and public models.

"Enterprises shouldn't have to choose between the capability of public models and control over their own data, systems and costs," said Mamoon Yunus, President and CEO of Forum Systems. "QS Platform 10 lets them use both, under one set of policies, on infrastructure they choose. That is what sovereignty means in practice."

"We expect 2027 to be a year of reckoning," Yunus continued. "Boards will scrutinize the cost, risk and maintainability of AI initiatives, particularly in regulated industries like healthcare. Generating code with AI has become easy; operating it securely and accountably for years has not. We believe the pendulum will swing back toward proven enterprise software vendors that combine decades of product engineering with AI to deliver that accountability."

Predictable AI economics

QS Platform 10 is licensed by capacity, not by token. As AI adoption grows, customers expand usage within their licensed capacity without a per-token platform bill, and QS Cortex's routing between comparable private and public models is designed to keep AI economics predictable.

Every edition includes QS Sentry, QS Cortex and QS DevX.

Capacity, entitlements and model consumption terms are defined in the enterprise agreement.

Built on a proven foundation
QS Platform 10 brings together technologies already operating in some of the most demanding regulated environments:

• QS Sentry secures more than 10 billion transactions daily for government and commercial enterprises worldwide.
• QS Platform 10 is HITRUST r2 certified and has run in production in regulated environments since mid-2023.
• At Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, featured in a Harvard Business Review case study on enterprise AI, QS Contracts has contributed to $300,000,000 in cost savings and avoidance.

A foundation for domain solutions

QS Platform 10 is the foundation for a series of Quantum Gears solutions for healthcare, contract management, finance and other regulated domains. The first, QS Axiom, is planned for Q1 2027. Each solution runs on the same connectivity, intelligence and governance layer, so customers extend one platform rather than adopting a new stack for every use case.

For existing customers, the path to QS Platform 10 starts with what they already run. Forum Sentry deployments become the QS Sentry foundation, so APIs, security policies and integrations carry forward without re-platforming. QS SecureGPT capabilities are now delivered through QS Cortex, and QS Contracts becomes a solution on the platform. Quantum Gears will work with each customer on its transition to the unified platform.
