As AI blurs the line between real and synthetic, trust can no longer be assumed—it must be deliberately designed. In this keynote, Tony Ball, CEO of Entrust, proposes identity security as the foundation of trust for the digital age. Drawing on global examples across banking, travel, and digital government, the keynote explores how leading institutions are embedding identity security into in every interaction—protecting organizations and the people they serve by verifying identity at key "moments of truth" in the digital experience — and in doing so, transforming identity security from a control function into a leadership imperative.
