Quantum. Zero Trust. Edge.
The cybersecurity buzzwords keep coming—but for federal agencies, the real challenge is knowing which innovations truly matter, and how to apply them to today’s missions and tomorrow’s threats.
Cipher Summit 2026, hosted by Thales TCT and Carahsoft, brings federal cybersecurity leaders together for a focused, high-impact event designed to cut through the noise. This is your opportunity to connect with peers, industry leaders, and technology experts who are actively shaping the federal cyber landscape.
Attendees will gain practical insights into the strategies and solutions needed to address today’s most urgent cybersecurity challenges—while preparing for what’s next. The agenda will explore critical topics such as AI security, quantum-resistant cryptography, edge security, zero trust and more.
In addition to dynamic general sessions, Thales TCT customers are invited to participate in interactive Study Hall sessions—a deeper dive into existing solutions, best practices, and upcoming product roadmaps, with direct access to Thales experts and fellow users.
Join us at Cipher Summit 2026 to gain clarity, share perspectives, and walk away with actionable guidance to help build secure, resilient federal systems for 2027 and beyond.
