Join Thales and A24 for an exclusive, invitation-only roundtable designed for senior leaders overseeing the secure and compliant operation of payment cryptography. This session will be facilitated by Kite Distribution, a specialist independent cyber security distributor focused on the UK & Ireland.

“Who’s Keys Are They Anyway?” is a highly interactive discussion designed to explore the real-world challenges of managing cryptographic infrastructure in modern payment environments. This is not a sales presentation, but a collaborative forum where participants can share experiences, exchange ideas, and gain insights from peers and subject matter experts.

Building on the success of last year’s “Who’s got your keys?” event, this session will dive deeper into the evolving complexities of payment security, with a particular focus on:

 

The Future of Payment Hardware Security Modules (HSM’s)
Managing Cryptography in Multi-Cloud Environments
Preparing for Emerging Quantum Risks in Payments
Balancing Security, Compliance, and Cost in Modern Payment Ecosystems

The River Room, Raddison Blu

Overlooking the iconic O2 Arena across the River Thames, the River Room provides an impressive yet intimate setting for focused executive discussion, with a breakfast buffet and refreshments provided for guests.

  • Expert insight into the future of payment cryptography and HSM strategy from Thales
  • Practical guidance on managing cryptography across increasingly complex multi-cloud environments
  • Early perspectives on quantum computing risks and how organisations should begin preparing
