Thales Security Sessions Thales Group

Information and communication technology (ICT) risk management is a vital part of daily practice for organizations in any industry. For those in the EU financial sector, a new set of regulations is being put in place in the form of the Digital Operational Resilience Act aka DORA. But it doesn’t just affect European financial companies – it affects anyone in the world that does business with them, as well as being a good lesson in ICT overall.

In discussing the recent acquisition of Imperva into the Thales fold, Nanhi Singh, VP Application Security and Customer Success at Imperva, and Todd Moore, Global Head of Data Security Products at Thales, dive deep into the many areas of security that will be positively affected, including APIs, bots and of course, generative AI. This is not a self-congratulation conversation: it’s a roadmap for heightened data security, with host Steve Prentice.

Guests: James Leaton Gray, Director at The Privacy Practice, a firm that specializes in privacy and data protection and Haider Iqbal Manager of Product Marketing for Thales Identity and Access Management business.

Trust is vital to the relationship between companies and their customers, especially when it comes to protecting data. But companies have been traditionally confronted by a resistance on the part of consumers to adopt safe online practices like MFA. But is this changing now. James and Haider join host Steve Prentice for a lively discussion on the nature of trust, security technology and the findings within the Digital Trust Index report. They present some intriguing new strategies for companies looking to keep their customers and their operations safe.

We had a great year talking with experts on a range of security topics, so who better to turn to for prognostications for the new year? Here’s a collection of predictions from some of our guests.

The practice of using different passwords for the hundreds or thousands of online locations we visit has grown quite out of control and long ago fell short of being a practical or secure process. In this episode, we discuss the practicality of Self-Sovereign Identities, in which a person’s individual, identifiable self is based on attributes and behaviours rather than centrally stored data. Is this the future of secure identity online? And if so, who gets to run it?

The data about ourselves is willingly submitted to organizations every time we make a purchase, open an account, or simply move around, online and in-person. Where does it go? Who owns it? What do they do with it? Steve Prentice talks with Justin Sherman, who thinks we should be more proactive about understanding the roles data brokers play in our lives and our futures.
