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 that has publicly committed to a quantum-safe roadmap shares what triggered the decision, how the programme is structured, what has been learned, and what they would do differently.

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.

The execution half, designed to dovetail directly with the QuantumBasel session. Post-quantum cryptography deployed in network and security infrastructure, hybrid and pure PQC modes, key management, and what a phased migration project actually looks like in production.

Quantum computing promises to transform fields ranging from science to cybersecurity—but how does it actually work? This engaging technical session demystifies the principles behind quantum mechanics, explains why qubits behave so differently from classical bits, and explores where quantum computers excel, where they don’t, and why every security professional should understand the coming post-quantum era. No background in quantum physics required - just an inquisitive mind

Where Switzerland and Europe stand on post-quantum readiness: the FINMA questionnaire, the G7 Cyber Expert Group report, the EU coordinated PQC roadmap, and what this means for regulated and non-regulated industries.

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.
