Houston we have a Problem – An Identity Problem in the Oil and Gas industry

Houston we have a Problem – An Identity Problem! Enabling Verifiable Credentials in the Oil and Gas industry

The volume of people working remotely peaked during the pandemic and more than ever security leaders need to know exactly who is logging into critical systems and accessing role-appropriate data. Now, nearly two months after President Joe Biden signed his cybersecurity executive order enterprises, financial institutions and energy companies are racing to form a long-term vision for hardening their security posture and implementing zero trust adoption, resulting in aggressive modernization strategies and complex transformation roadmaps.

So how does decentralized identity fit into the next generation of security practices?

Decentralized identity is the quick, secure, and simple way to control data access with verifiable digital credentials and distributed multiparty ledgers to reduce fraud, maximize efficiency, and bring zero trust to Governments, enterprises and businesses of all sizes. In this session, we’ll discuss:

– President Biden’s cybersecurity executive order
– The security landscape for global enterprises
– Decentralized identity, what it is and how it fortifies existing data infrastructure
– Case study: applying zero trust and decentralized identity to energy firms
