How to Ensure Trust in a Digital World?
My latest article:
We have a trust issue. In our digital world, it has become increasingly difficult to trust each other. Whether it is another person, an organisation or a device, trust is no longer a given online.

They have to work together to ensure trust in a digital world, because vulnerabilities, privacy violations or data leaks cannot be solved in isolation.
