Thales Cybersecurity Products and Blue Fortress recently exhibited at the Executive Cyber Leadership Series 2026. Throughout the day, our teams connected with fellow security leaders to explore the transition toward high-assurance defense and robust data sovereignty. Attendees visited the joint Thales and Blue Fortress booth to discuss high-level strategies for [...]
At Blue Fortress, we set out to do more than just discuss the “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” threat—we brought together the brightest minds in the industry to build a blueprint for national and corporate survival. The consensus from the day? Quantum readiness is no longer a roadmap item for the future; it is a critical mandate for today.
📌 Key Takeaways from the Summit:
🔍 A National Vision: We were honoured to have Ms. Hazlin binti Abdul Rani (#PTPKM, National Cyber Security Agency (NACSA), Malaysia) in setting the strategic tone. As highlighted by Ms. Hazlin A., we are now entering a critical window for the 2024–2030+ National Quantum Roadmap. This is a structured move from foundational preparation and algorithm selection into large-scale implementation across our National Critical Information Infrastructure (NCII).
🔍 The Threat Landscape & Readiness Roadmap: We were privileged to host invited guest speaker Mr. Keith Foo (EY), who provided a insights on the technical reality of quantum computing. He demystified how quantum computing algorithms undermine existing security, framed the urgency of the “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” risk, and shared a structured readiness roadmap—from cryptographic inventory to full migration—to guide organizations through this transition.
🔍 Deep-Tech & Implementation: Building on that foundation, Mr. James Sortino, CISSP (ISARA Corporation)detailed the critical discovery layer needed to map “dark” cryptography, while Mr. Ivan Tan (Thales)delivered a blueprint on building crypto-agile data protection architectures that stand the test of the quantum era.
🤝 Overcoming Migration Hurdles: The Panel The highlight of the afternoon was our panel discussion, “Overcoming Migration Hurdles,” where our moderator Mr. Steven Gan, CISM (GM, #BlueFortress) facilitated a gritty, practical look at implementation. A sincere thank you to our esteemed panellists for cutting through the noise: Keith Foo (EY),Jim Sortino (ISARA Corporation)
Ivan Tan (Thales Cyber Security), Dr. Mohamed Anwer Yusoff (Pro-tem Chairman, MyQSIA). Their collective expertise provided the clarity needed to bridge the gap between theory and real-world deployment.
🤝 A Milestone Partnership The day was capped by the formal Signing Ceremony between ISARA and Blue Fortress, officially witnessed by Ms. Hazlin. This partnership is more than just a business agreement; it is a commitment to ensuring that Malaysia’s critical infrastructure has immediate, localized access to world-class, quantum-safe solutions.
A massive thank you to our keynote speaker from #PTPKM, guest speakers from #EY, our technology partners at #Thales and #ISARA, panelist #MyQSIA and most importantly, to our delegates. Your commitment to securing our digital future is what makes this ecosystem thrive.
16th-18th March 2023, Leveraging on the day before fasting month started, The Blue Fortress Management organised a Team Building at Damai Laut, Perak with the theme of Stronger Together. Through ...
