IDC Future of Trust Forum

IDC believes that industries across all sectors have passed the tipping point for implementing digital trust programs. 

Businesses that lag in this area will struggle to scale and grow their digital business, and will also compete at a major disadvantage compared with rivals that are advanced in their Digital Trust understanding and adoption.

Traditional approaches towards security, risk, compliance, and privacy are no longer fit for purpose; lacking in both scope and scale to meet today's challenges. Customers, partners and stake-holders need full confidence in digital and online interactions and transactions. They must feel that the platforms and services are safe, transparent, ethical and fully secure and private. 

Join this keynote by Joel Stradling, Research Director, European Security and Privacy to learn about:

• IDC's digital trust framework, how to define Digital Trust.
• What are the main challenges that cause businesses to fail on Digital Trust programs.
• And finally hear IDC's recommendations for a robust Digital Trust strategy and roadmap.

Regulatory bodies, government agencies and CIOs continue to mandate Zero Trust as a key cyber security framework. But what are the main considerations and how do you achieve this vision without sacrificing productivity?

With many definitions and different interpretations of Zero Trust as well as ways to communicate its importance, it is key to understand the critical steps.

This session gets back to basics, covers the fundamentals and helps uncover the reality check on what Zero Trust really means along with the path to success.

This is a talk that gives a brief overview of the case that hit the Swedish news in April 2022 that led to Apoteket reporting itself  for a privacy breach, and a walkthrough of the functionality of the Metapixel and the importance of understanding how your marketing tools works and how it impacts information sharing.

Too little, too late, and insufficient. Or too much, too expensive and overkill. There is always a risk of building security programmes that mismatches your needs. Some choose generic programmes, but miss the most critical risks. Others target all employees with every little detail from the security policy.

How about taking a risk based approach and only focus on risks that call for actual behavioral change? 

With the 5 steps to create a risk based security culture programme, you get the framework to build an execution plan that provides efficient security improvement when it comes to information and cyber secure behaviour, compliance and culture.

Denmark, one of the most advanced digital societies globally, are facing decreasing trust levels among citizens to digital solutions!

Why and what are the root causes, what are to be avoided and why is Digital Risk Management (and the role of the CDRO - Chief Digital Risk Officer) crucial for the future of trust.

The EU’s updated directive for the Security of Networks and Information Systems, NIS2, came into force in January 2023. EU Member States have 21 months to transpose the Directive into their national laws. 

21 months may seem like a long time, but lessons learned from GDPR tell us that the sooner organizations begin incorporating regulatory requirements into their strategy and planning, the more likely they are to hit their targets and deadlines. 

So what are the aims of NIS2, who’s running the show, and which organizations are going to be affected?

Representing both sides of the supply chain, both as a buyer and supplier of technology, Johan will share experiences from both preventative measures as well as actual incidents and encryptions.

• Leading incident response and crisis management from a supplier perspective during a major incident, what is the most important thing and when and how do you maintain and restore trust during and following such a major incident?
