The hyperconnectivity of the (industrial) Internet of Things (IoT) enables industrial applications to benefit significantly from the integration of networked processes driven by AI innovations.

However, this unprecedented growth also brings significant challenges, including fragmented data silos, limited interoperability, and a lack of user control over sensitive information. Decentralized Idnetities offer a robust solution to these problems by enabling individuals and organizations to control exactly when, how, and with whom their information is shared. By leveraging decentralized technologies it supports trusted data exchange, collaboration, and greater autonomy. In this way, companies not only expand their capabilities, but also lay a solid foundation for new regulations such as the Cyber Resilience Act and the EU Data Protection Act. This session will demonstrate how owner-centric identity technologies and standards break down data silos, ensure compliance, improve interoperability, and create secure IoT ecosystems. Learn more about the regulatory requirements that technology meets, and how it helps to ensure future-proof and efficient solutions.
