Session Description

Session Description

The mobile industry is uniquely positioned to tackle identity challenges, underpinning digital safety and trust. The Mobile Identity Summit will showcase the sector’s momentum and shed light on the many dimensions where mobile and identity converge and evolve. 

With the rise of advanced cyber threats, evolving user expectations, and new regulatory demands, the digital environment demands innovative approaches to trust and identity. Fraud is moving faster than digital transformation, with AI now amplifying the risks whilst enabling novel defences. Every channel faces a growing pressure to enable trusted engagement between users and organisations. Enterprises and governments need improved approaches in authentication, age assurance, fraud detection and digital identity.  

Against this backdrop, mobile technology is establishing the essential identity layer needed to foster trust. At this intersection of mobile and identity, the industry is taking a pivotal role in shaping the digital trust landscape. 

Industry experts will share real-world examples of solutions addressing identity challenges across sectors today, alongside thought-provoking perspectives on the future direction of mobile identity. 

Join our summit and connect with industry leaders as mobile takes centre stage in the digital trust conversation. 

Session 1: Trust Built In: Enhancing Identity with Mobile Networks

With growing demand for security and seamlessness throughout the customer lifecycle, mobile identity verifies users to transform digital engagement. The mobile industry is opening up previously untapped capabilities embedded in mobile networks, providing enterprises with new opportunities for digital transformation through improved authentication and fraud detection.

Session 2: Identity in Users' Hands: Mobile as the Trust Platform

At the heart of digital trust are end-users, who expect robust protection for their interactions with organisations and increasingly take an active role in confirming their identity. As spoofed calls and impersonation scams fuel a crisis of trust in voice communication, businesses are challenged to reconnect with customers and protect their reputation. Globally, digital identity is increasingly being placed directly in the hands of users through solutions like identity wallets and mobile identity.

“Imposter scams have led to significant financial losses for consumers and reputational damage for businesses around the world. Given TransUnion’s unique position as a trusted source of identity, we help address gaps in the verification process by enabling businesses and carriers to authenticate communications. That way, branded communications can be trusted and spoofed calls stopped before reaching customers, allowing people and businesses to connect with confidence.”
