The European Identity and Cloud Conference 2016 provides an overall perspective on the future of information security. There rarely has been so much disruptive change driven by innovations in IT ever before. Distributed Ledgers and Blockchain are at the forefront of these changes and will massively impact the business models of many organizations, well beyond the Finance industry and FinTechs. IoT is becoming a standard element, closely connected to Smart Manufacturing and Industry 4.0. Again, business processes and business models will change massively in the hyper connected world. The relationship to customers is already changing and we are about to enter the post-app era. Device mesh is a reality in today’s user behavior. Machine learning and deep learning open new opportunities, well beyond Big Data Analytics. Business is changing and IT has to change as well. IT organization, IT processes, and the underlying technology. On top of this, as the sword of Damocles there are the ever-increasing challenges of security, privacy, data protection, and last not least compliance in this brave new world. These are further key topics of this year’s European and Cloud Conference presentations.
The conference will run until Friday, May 13, 2016. There is still time to register for the remaining days online at www.id-conf.com or on-site in Munich. Press, journalists and bloggers can register directly and for free.
