• Future-proof your authentication strategy with a scalable, interoperable approach jointly delivered by Thales and Microsoft.

Fast Track to Passwordless at Scale: Simplified FIDO Management for the Enterprise

With 80-90% of data being unstructured and created in the cloud , Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) is becoming essential for organizations to understand what data they have, what the risks are to their sensitive data, and understand the journey data takes in their business environment. While this initial visibility and understanding about data and data risks are valuable, it's what comes next that helps you to achieve an outcome for a particular use case. 

Join our featured speakers, Todd Moore, Thales VP of Data Security, and featured speaker Heidi Shey, principal analyst, Forrester, as they discuss how organizations must evaluate automated data security technologies like data security posture management to track and protect data throughout its life cycle.

Attendees will learn:
• Where to look for security gaps in your organization’s current data protection strategy
• Which data security use cases should be prioritized for successful DSPM adoption
• Why DSPM needs to go beyond cloud-centric visibility and native controls
• How artificial intelligence (AI) and post-quantum cryptography (PQC) will impact your data security strategy.
• Plus, Todd Moore will share how Thales can help your team and organization proactively protect your most critical data and prioritize risk mitigation.

Whether you are planning a deployment or refining your current data security strategy, you’ll gain actionable steps to drive better security outcomes and maximize value.

Securing AI: Mitigating Cyber Risks from DevSecOps

Many organizations plan on maintaining on-premises resources for the foreseeable future—either because of logistical or security reasons. Whether applications live in the cloud or on-prem, securing authentication and access is non-negotiable. However, security teams struggle to adopt MFA methods that are both resistant to modern attack tactics, while also maintaining a consistent and intuitive user experience, regardless of what (or where) your employees are accessing.  

In this webinar, we will discuss why some forms of MFA fall short, and how FIDO security keys have become the new industry standard for phishing-resistant authentication—now supported and supplied by Thales for all your applications in the cloud and on-prem. Get a first-look at these latest innovations and explore what’s possible with passwordless authentication.

Extending FIDO Authentication from On-Prem to the Cloud

Identity is no longer just about security in the Banking, Financial Services & Insurance (BFSI) sector — it’s a business-critical priority. 

As institutions grapple not only with AI-driven threats, third-party identity sprawl, eroding customer trust, and intensifying regulatory demands, but also with explosive growth in the number of identities to manage, identity now sits at the core of operational resilience, and if done right, can be turned into a profit center.

This webinar shares key findings from nearly 500 senior executives across the U.S., U.K., Singapore, captured in Thales’ latest survey conducted by ESG: “Identity & Access in Banking, Financial Services and Insurance:” This is one of the largest survey of its kind.

As 2026 roadmaps come into focus, discover how leading institutions are reframing identity, not just as a risk to manage, but as a lever for agility, compliance, and competitive advantage.

Key Takeaways: 

1. Industry Snapshot - An overview of how BFSI organizations are managing CIAM, workforce IAM, and third-party access, highlighting key maturity gaps.

2. Emerging Pressures - An exploration of evolving risks, including regulatory demands, AI-driven threats, and operational challenges impacting identity strategy.

3. Forward-Looking Priorities - Insight into where peers are focusing their identity modernization efforts, and the strategic drivers shaping the 2026 planning.

4. Strategic Guidance - Practical advice to help you refine your IAM roadmap, closing critical gaps while aligning identity with broader business goals.

How Leading Financial Institutions Are Eliminating Friction and Fraud in Digital Access

Data security has shifted from being a bit-part player among a broader cybersecurity discussion to become a standalone discipline, assuming its logical place as the foundation of a wider, multi-tier cybersecurity posture. When organizations can map out and understand their data landscape, they are more confident in their security measures to defend it and reduce the risk of non-compliance —resulting in significant sanctions or penalties from regulators.
In 2026, data security is projected to be the most critical aspect of a digital asset strategy. Data security posture management (DSPM) can provide a firm foundation as your organization builds out transformation projects, including AI and Quantum. 

Join our speakers as we discuss Omdia’s assessment of the DSPM market, qualified vendors, and real-world use cases, including:
• How Omdia defines DSPM into two capability areas: data security and posture management.
• Why AI and quantum introduce new complexities to IT and the DSPM infrastructure.
• What to look for when selecting a vendor.
• How Thales can help build customer-centric business value.

DSPM at a Turning Point: 2026 Outlook for Data Security Posture Management

Finance and insurance firms face a clear and present danger: expanding third-party and B2B risks are stretching identity perimeters to the breaking point. With 74% of organizations seeing surging third-party identity growth and 89% citing external access as a major risk, legacy IAM can no longer keep pace.

In this webinar, you’ll learn how modern B2B IAM serves as financial services’ shield, protecting against breaches while enabling business growth. We’ll explore how risk-based, adaptive IAM can secure vendors, partners, supply chain and external networks, bridging Zero Trust security with business continuity to protect without blocking. Through real-world case studies, expert perspectives, and a practical roadmap, you’ll learn how to balance resilience, compliance, and business growth by modernizing IAM for external and B2B use cases.
