Presentation Topic: State of Digital Trust 2023: An ISACA Global Research Report

Digital trust can make or break an organization. It is fundamental to all enterprises and is a critical factor in the ability to innovate, expand and be resilient in a turbulent, highly connected global marketplace. Digital trust brings together many of the disciplines already vital to an organization— security, risk, privacy, quality, compliance, communications, information technology, marketing and operations. All these areas have a significant and direct impact on how others perceive an organization, especially its brand and reputation, and are integral to adding value to the organization and its future digital transformation initiatives.

To gain insights into global approaches and perceptions about digital trust, ISACA® conducted the State of Digital Trust 2023 survey in the first quarter of 2023. It is the second annual administration of this survey and contains both year-over-year and new data exploring areas such as familiarity, priority, confidence, maturity, obstacles and responsibility related to digital trust across the globe. In addition to survey data insights, the report also includes practical guidance and perspectives from industry professionals. It concludes with five key takeaways to help organizations strengthen digital trust as they move forward with digital transformation.

During this session Rishad Smartt & Jason Wood will summarise the main findings contained in the state of Digital Trust 2023 survey.
