Dear ala,

We are pleased to introduce the Thales Trust Horizon program, developed specifically for our valued customers, prospects, and channel partners seeking the latest insights into key emerging topics. These include the impact of quantum technologies on security, governance and risk management in artificial intelligence, evolving regulations concerning AI transparency and data usage, as well as quantum-safe technologies and compliance challenges associated with the adoption of new technologies.

This quarter, we have launched two initiatives, with additional programs planned for subsequent quarters, each thoughtfully designed to equip security leaders with the strategic insight, influence, and recognition necessary to meet the demands of this critical moment.

18 June
Trust Horizon: Quantum Now & Forever

with "TV Rock Star Scientist" Professor Brian Cox
2:00 PM CEST | Virtual Executive Session

Quantum computing is no longer theoretical risk — it's an active planning horizon for data protection, cryptographic migration, and long-term resilience. This session cuts through the noise.

Featuring Professor Brian Cox alongside quantum strategy leaders Dr Michele Mosca (CEO, evolutionQ), Louise Davey (Board Director, LDIQ), Zygmunt Lozinski & Lory Thorpe (IBM), and Blair Canavan (Thales).

What you'll gain:

• A clear-eyed assessment of quantum threat timelines and what they mean for your cryptographic estate
• Practical guidance on quantum-readiness planning — what to prioritise now vs. what can wait
• A live panel with Brian Cox and all speakers — direct Q&A on the strategic implications

20 May
The Trusted Boardroom: Certified Executive Masterclass

2:00 PM CEST | Virtual | Certified by Columbia University

Boards want cyber risk translated into financial exposure, operational continuity, and regulatory liability — not technical dashboards. This masterclass teaches you how.

Featuring Professor Arthur Langer (Associate Vice-Provost) and Nick Donofrio (Board Director, AMD & BNY; Honorary IBM Fellow).

You'll take away:

• A framework for translating cyber risk into board-level language
• Insight into what boards actually want from their CISO — and what loses their attention
• Strategies to position security as a value driver, not a cost centre

All participants receive a Columbia University certificate of completion.

Each of these programmes reflects Thales's commitment to elevating cybersecurity leadership — not just protecting data, but empowering the people responsible for it.

Warm regards,
The Thales Trust Horizon Team
