Keyfactor Connect 2026 Zurich

Thursday 15th October, 2026
Arrival: 13:00, Program begins: 11:30
overview

Join us for an interactive experience with fellow Keyfactor customers and end users. Bring your challenges, swap stories, and dive into hands-on workshops with our experts.

During this meeting, you will receive first-hand updates on the current state of quantum computer development and post-quantum cryptographic standardization and implementation progress.

Technology providers have made significant advances in preparing quantum-resistant solutions to protect today’s systems from tomorrow’s threats. However, in practice, several use cases could not yet be realized end-to-end due to missing architectural or operational building blocks. We will provide an update on implementation readiness, practical migration approaches, and why Crypto Discovery is essential to understand your cryptographic exposure before defining priorities and allocating resources.

The tools exist. The roadmap is emerging. The time to act is now.

Learn

Go deeper on the topics shaping digital trust—from post-quantum readiness to cryptographic discovery and regulatory change. Hear directly from our experts, explore what’s on the 2026 roadmap, and walk away with insights you can turn into action.

Engage

Go beyond the slide deck. Roll up your sleeves in interactive workshops designed to surface real challenges and produce tangible next steps, ideas, and assets you can take back to your team.

Connect

Meet the people behind the products and the peers facing the same challenges. Share stories, spark new ideas, and build real connections—set in distinctive spaces designed to make it easy.

Implementation

Technology is available and it is now essential to actively plan and promote their implementation to ensure long-term digital trust and resilience.
