The EU's GDPR puts the spotlight on the topic of personal data, and individuals are concerned about big tech companies monetizing their data and privacy. Businesses struggle with regulations like Know-Your-Customer requiring them to collect and verify tremendous amounts of personal user data while also trying to comply with GDPR's requirements. This panel explores how enterprises are trying to marry conflicting goals regarding data collection with individual desire for privacy and control. Panelists will discuss how blockchain helps businesses authenticate and verify individuals' identities in ways that traditional systems can't do. Explore how enterprises can benefit from privacy-enhanced identity data methods to improve business and also improve security efforts. See examples of how blockchain-based identity is used in financial services, supply chain/logistics, and IoT environments.

IoT solutions are generating more and more data. This data is being collected and stored in blockchain systems. These blockchain systems are now allowing individuals to have control over their data in a way that hasn't happened before. This panel of experts will explore how consumers can monetize their data without giving up their privacy.

In the world of business identity there are many efficiencies to be gained if you knew exactly who was giving you information on the other side of that internet connection. Frameworks can be built to allow these communications to happen, but larger market agreements and protocols have to be put in place to establish that level of trust between parties. Come and see how Dun & Bradstreet is leveraging the open DID protocol to build a platform to serve as an Anchor of Trust to speed up a more trusted way of doing business.
