Zero Trust Architectures and Digital Trust Frameworks: A Complementary or Contradictory Relationship?

Feb 26, 2025

Abstract

This session explores the foundational concepts and practical applications of Zero Trust Architectures (ZTA) and Digital Trust Frameworks (DTF), two paradigms gaining traction in cybersecurity. While Zero Trust challenges the traditional notion of trust by enforcing strict access controls and authentication measures, Digital Trust seeks to build confidence through data integrity, privacy, and ethical considerations. Through this talk, we will investigate whether these approaches intersect, complement, or diverge, and what this means for the future of cybersecurity. Attendees will gain insights into implementing these frameworks to enhance both security and user confidence in digital environments. In addition to a practical overview, this talk will highlight emerging research areas in both domains.
