Registration, badging, networking coffee. 

Framing the event: the quantum threat is both a strategy problem and an execution problem. How QuantumBasel and Fortinet have joined forces to address both.

Where quantum computing stands today and why it matters now. The intersection with AI., roadmaps of leading quantum hardware suppliers, and recent signals from Google, the G7 central banks, FINMA, and the EU.

Fortinet's view of the global threat landscape, the product and service portfolio behind it, and Fortinet's strategic position on quantum security. Why a unified security fabric is the foundation for any quantum-safe migration. Relevance to cryptography: harvest-now-decrypt-later, NIST PQC standards (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA)

A Swiss enterprise approaches the quantum revolution from a risk-based yet fully holistic perspective, demonstrating that the roadmap to post-quantum security is complex, but ultimately “just” one element of a broader journey into the quantum era.

The consulting half. Cryptographic inventory, risk assessment, crypto-agility, prioritisation by data lifetime and regulatory exposure, and how to build a credible migration roadmap that boards can sign off on.

Coffee, refreshments and conversations on the campus floor.

Where Switzerland stands on post-quantum readiness, and the findings of the FINMA readiness questionnaire, presented first-hand.

Quantum computing promises to transform fields ranging from science to cybersecurity. But how does it actually work? This technical session starts with the principles of quantum mechanics and explains why qubits behave so differently from classical bits. It then shows the interdependency with different kinds of network architecture, where the vulnerabilities lie, and which options exist. 

Where Europe stands on post-quantum readiness: the G7 Cyber Expert Group report, the EU coordinated PQC roadmap, and the Frankfurt consortium around Deutsche Börse.

Modern cybersecurity depends on mathematics—but what happens when quantum computers change the rules? This technical session explains how today’s public-key cryptography works, why powerful quantum computers threaten widely deployed algorithms, and how post-quantum cryptography addresses the challenge. We’ll explore the mathematical ideas behind the new quantum-safe algorithms, why they resist quantum attacks, and what organizations need to know as the industry prepares for one of the biggest cryptographic transitions in decades.

Bringing consulting, execution and the customer perspective together. How to start, how to structure the programme, who owns it internally, and what to expect from vendors and partners.

Call to action: how to engage with QuantumBasel and Fortinet for a joint quantum-safe assessment, and what the follow-up programme looks like.
