Trust as Currency: Cybersecurity in a Decentralized Age

This keynote marked the opening of DITTO’s exclusive Secure Horizons leadership conference in Manila in September 2024. Speaking to an audience of decision-makers from around the globe, I explored the role of trust in redefining cybersecurity in a decentralized world. With a focus on practical insights and visionary solutions, this event was a unique opportunity to address the pressing challenges and opportunities of cybersecurity at a time when innovation and trust have never been more critical.

In a world where uncertainty is the norm, trust is our greatest asset—and our most powerful currency. As Web3 and AI revolutionize cybersecurity, they redefine how we build systems of trust that protect and empower us. Explore how trust becomes the foundation for resilience, innovation, and progress. It’s not about fear—it’s about creating a future where security drives connection, empowers communities, and inspires confidence. Uncover the tools and mindsets needed to navigate this decentralized age and build a world where trust shapes everything we do.
