Grip on the future: Security and innovation in a digital world

Robert Garskamp, Founder of IDNext

Digital transformation is accelerating faster than ever, with AI playing a central role. But without a solid foundation in digital identity and access management, organizations risk losing control over data, privacy, and trust. Digital identity, data, and AI together form the keys to a secure and innovative future, where both organizations and individuals maintain control over their digital presence.

This talkshow explores how smart strategies around digital identity and AI reinforce each other, creating a future where security, trust, and innovation are perfectly balanced.
