Thales is a global leader in cybersecurity, helping the most trusted companies, organizations and governments around the world protect critical applications, sensitive data, and identities anywhere at scale. Through our innovative services and integrated platforms, Thales helps customers achieve better visibility of risks, defend against cyber threats, close compliance gaps, and deliver trusted digital experiences for billions of consumers every day.

As you would have discovered in our first webinar, the state of Digital Trust is in decline. At the core of trust issues is customer experience, whether it be around a complicated onboarding process, the customers feeling forced to share data that they may deem unnecessary, or problems with logins or authenticating themselves. 

This second episode of the 2025 Latte & Learn webinar series explores findings focused on customer experience issues from the 2025 Digital Trust Index survey and introduces best practices that brands and business can deploy to gain consumer trust. 

Key Takeaways:
       - Best practices for a secure, seamless, onboarding and registration experience  
       - Progressive Profiling as a key business enabler to gather data, progressively 
       - Consent & Preference management as a tool to empower customers with how their data is used

The cloud accelerates innovation, but without the right strategy, it can compromise control. Is a “good enough” approach to cloud security exposing your data, and ultimately your business, to unnecessary risk? Join us for a practical, honest conversation where we explore: 
• How to maintain data control in a multi-cloud environment 
• Why cloud-native security tools alone may not be enough 
• Common cloud encryption myths and how external key management amplifies data protection 
• How to close security gaps without adding complexity

Cloud Security: Are You in Control or Just in the Cloud?

With the sheer number of new platforms and technologies being adopted by the healthcare and life sciences industry, it dramatically expands the attack surfaces and making these industries more vulnerable to attacks by cybercriminals.

This results in more sensitive data could be at risk in more platforms. 68% of healthcare and life-sciences organizations reported that more than 40% of their data in cloud is sensitive. However, on average, only 45% of sensitive data is cloud is encrypted*.

Now is the time to take charge of your sensitive data, join this webinar to learn the following:
- Top data security risks that come with digitalisation in the healthcare industry
- Common challenges to protect data in different environments
- How to secure sensitive data at scale with a data security platform with risk and threat identification and data protection capabilities

In this webinar you will learn more about the benefits of Google External Key Manager. The Google Cloud Platform allows users to use Cloud External Key Management (EKM) in the Google Cloud Key Management Service (KMS). Thales's CipherTrust Key Broker for Google Cloud EKM protects your data in the GCP while your encryption keys are stored in the key management service outside of the GCP. In this webinar, you will see a demonstration of how to create encryption keys in Key Broker for Google Cloud EKM, create a Cloud EKM key, use a key URI to identify the externally-managed key in Google Cloud KMS, and use the keys to protect data in ComputeEngine or BigQuery, or to encrypt data using a symmetric key. In this scenario, Google Cloud KMS does not store the external key material. In addition, you will see a demonstration of how to "lift & shift" VM workloads to the Google Cloud Platform.
