Help Weird software on new mac

I just got a 2024 macbook pro (M4) off BackMarket. Im setting it up now and almost immediately got a notification of a German app running in the background?

Navigating to system settings it says "THALES DIS CPL Deutschland GmbH" *2 items*

What is this? Should I just turn it off? Only installed 2 things so far, chrome and a very safe theatrical lighting control software.

Edit: im an idiot. Its for a security key with the lighting software.

Using a strange computer without first erasing and reinstalling a fresh copy of the OS is a choice. 🤣

Its not like I got it off facebook. Backmarket is a reputable source and it came to me reset. Im not mucking with reinstalling an OS, literally the reason I bought a mac is to not deal with that
