Bangkok – Thailand is bracing for a technological shift as TRIS Corporation prepares to host “TRIS FORUM 2026: THE DAY AFTER QUANTUM” on April 2, 2026, at the Conrad Bangkok. The forum aims to raise awareness and build defenses against the coming wave of quantum computing, a technology poised to reshape the digital landscape with both unprecedented opportunities and significant security risks.
The event comes at a critical juncture. Even as still largely in development, quantum computing promises to revolutionize fields like medicine, materials science, and artificial intelligence. However, its potential to break current encryption standards poses a serious threat to data security and national infrastructure. TRIS Corporation recognizes the urgency of preparing Thai organizations for this paradigm shift, and the forum is designed to be a starting point for that process.
Understanding the Quantum Threat
A key component of TRIS FORUM 2026 will be a keynote address by Air Marshal Amorn Chomchey, Secretary General of the National Cyber Security Agency (NCSA). Chomchey will deliver a presentation titled “The Countdown to a Changed World,” outlining the timeline for quantum computing’s arrival and its potential impact. Dr. Amporn Sangmanee will follow with an in-depth analysis of the “Quantum Threat Landscape” and the broader “Digital Tsunami” expected to impact the digital economy. The NCSA’s role in coordinating national cybersecurity efforts will be central to the discussion.
The potential for disruption is substantial. Current encryption methods, which protect everything from online banking to government communications, rely on mathematical problems that are difficult for classical computers to solve. Quantum computers, leveraging the principles of quantum mechanics, could solve these problems exponentially faster, rendering existing security protocols obsolete. This vulnerability extends beyond data breaches; it threatens the integrity of critical infrastructure and national security.
Expert Insights and Practical Solutions
TRIS FORUM 2026 isn’t solely focused on identifying the problem; it’s about exploring solutions. The event will feature a lineup of leading Thai experts, including Wannawit Akkhubut of Privy, Nonthawat Saraman of the Digital Council, Dr. Nipon Nachin of AlphaSec, Adis Prukpatthanarak of dss+ Thailand, and Nachapol Songthit of Sustainitex. These individuals will share insights into organizational adaptation, risk assessment tools, and preventative measures.
A significant focus will be on Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), a new generation of encryption algorithms designed to resist attacks from quantum computers. Experts will discuss the implementation of PQC standards and the challenges of transitioning existing systems. Beyond security, the forum will too explore how organizations can leverage Agentic AI – a more autonomous and proactive form of artificial intelligence – to transform their operations and gain a competitive edge in the evolving technological landscape.
Preparing for Agentic AI
Agentic AI represents a shift from AI systems that simply respond to commands to those that can independently set goals, plan actions, and execute tasks. This capability has the potential to automate complex processes, improve decision-making, and unlock new levels of efficiency. However, it also raises questions about control, accountability, and ethical considerations. The forum will address these challenges and provide guidance on responsible AI implementation.
Registration and Access
TRIS Corporation is offering free registration to TRIS FORUM 2026, encouraging broad participation from businesses, government agencies, and technology professionals. The event is scheduled to run from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM on April 2, 2026, at the Conrad Bangkok. Interested individuals can register at http://bit.ly/4rTdP3q.
The forum represents a proactive step towards ensuring Thailand’s readiness for the quantum era. By fostering collaboration between industry leaders, cybersecurity experts, and government officials, TRIS Corporation aims to equip organizations with the knowledge and tools they need to navigate the challenges and capitalize on the opportunities presented by this transformative technology. The next key date for attendees will be the release of the full forum agenda and speaker details in the coming months.
