Thales Security Sessions Thales Group

Cloud technology may be efficient and vital to the global economy, but it comes at a substantial cost in terms of the power to make it run. This will only increase as more sophisticated forms of computing such as AI become normalized. But there are solutions for making this elastic and ubiquitous technology more ecologically responsible, ranging from using innovative cooling techniques through to shared responsibility and even Carbon FinOps. Our guests from AWS and Thales will make it all clear.

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?
