At the outset of 2025, there is a natural convergence of payments and identity happening that is transforming the consumer and citizen experience.

Central to both is trusted digital identity which has become the cornerstone of our digital universe.

In this podcast, we’ll delve into some of the opportunities, risks, and challenges facing payments and identity players including digital wallet adoption, fraud intensification, quantum ...

Among many other milestones, 2024 was the year generative AI went mainstream, identity fraud went digital first, and the first post quantum cryptography (PQC) standards were issued by NIST. As we look ahead to 2025, which cyber trends will gain momentum? And which will fall to the wayside? In this podcast, we’ll delve into our top cyber predictions for 2025 including the possible evolution of AI, quantum computing, digital identity...

In this episode of the Entrust Cybersecurity Institute Podcast, we delve into the evolving landscape of cybercrime, highlighting how advancements in technology, particularly GenAI and biometrics, are ending the era of amateur cybercriminals. Drawing insights from the 2025 Identity Fraud Report, now in its 6th year, we explore the rise of cybercrime-as-a-service, the increasing sophistication of attacks, and strategies to combat the...

Quantum computing will revolutionize industries and break conventional encryption, threatening the world’s digital economy and upending global power dynamics. With “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” style attacks that target long-life data and devices, along with the availability of new PQC standards from NIST, we are at the dawn of the PQ era. In this podcast episode, we delve into global PQ preparedness, post-quantum cryptography, and ...

Identity is essential to accessing education, employment, financial services, and much more. But, with disruptive technology forces like AI, biometrics, and quantum computing on the horizon, is it time to reimagine the future of trusted identity? This episode delves into the opportunities, risks, and differing approaches shaping the future of trusted identity including the impact of AI and quantum computing, along with the role of ...

What if you could ditch your passwords and still have a secure and seamless online experience? That's the vision of the FIDO Alliance, a group of industry leaders who are developing standards and certifications for passwordless and phishing-resistant authentication solutions. In this podcast, our host, Ken Kadet, talks to Andrew Shikiar, the executive director and CEO of the FIDO Alliance, about how these solutions work, why they a...

In this podcast episode we look at the dark side of generative AI – the destructive ways criminals are utilizing it to create deepfakes, optimizing phishing techniques and creating synthetic IDs at scale. We also take a look at new updated stats, in a special RSAC edition of Onfido's (an Entrust company) Identity Fraud Report and discuss how CISOs/CROs can set their companies up for success in the fight against these new security t...

• The use of biometrics has become a flash point for discussion in efforts to regulate AI around the globe. While different biometric use cases present with different risk profiles, the use of biometrics to protect individual consumers and citizens from identity theft and fraud should be a core component of any organization’s deep fake defense strategy. In this podcast, we’ll delve into the legal, ethical, and even moral consider...

In this episode, our guests Samantha Mabey, Entrust Director of Digital Security Solutions, and Tushar Tambay, VP of Product Development at Entrust, unravel the risks of misconfigured systems, interoperability gaps, and compliance lapses in IT security. Join us as we discuss the diverse array of cybersecurity tools and the necessity of routine discovery checks to avert breaches. We also dive into the Zero Trust journey, discovering...
