Trust begins with identity. As bad actors become more sophisticated and regulatory standards increase, organisations can no longer rely on isolated identity checks and legacy authentication methods. A trusted identity foundation, combining biometric verification, identity proofing, and continuous assurance, is essential for securing access, combating impersonation, and enabling trusted digital interactions. This presentation will explore how organisations can build and scale trust in an increasingly connected world.

As organisations become increasingly dependent on connected systems, cyber security threats can have consequences far beyond computers and networks. This talk explores how cyber-attacks can directly impact physical security systems and how utilising cloud technologies can help mitigate some of the risk.
