Today’s data leaders must navigate a difficult balancing act between the demands and strategies of their organization’s past and its future. On the one hand, legacy tech stacks and silos of data. On the other hand, the opportunities and risks around AI, global privacy regulations, and a user, citizen, or customer base with high expectations and lessening trust.

Organizations, enterprises, and governments that do business or deliver services online are at the point of diminishing returns for the current approach to handling data, which was created two decades ago at the dawn of the Web 2.0 era.

But the web itself has evolved since then, and now provides a path forward for CDOs that must marry today’s operational realities with tomorrow’s transformative business opportunities.

In this session, John Bruce, CEO of Inrupt, and Bruce Schneier, Chief Security Officer and renowned author/security expert, will explore:

• Solid, the open source update to the web protocols created by the inventor of World Wide Web, Sir Tim Berners-Lee
• How governments and businesses are transforming data relationships with citizens, users, and customers using Solid
• The emergence of Data Wallets (beyond payments), and what this means for enterprise data infrastructures
• The new security model resulting from a user-centric approach to data
• And finally, AI as an accelerant for these changes.

Participants will leave with a unique understanding of the gaps in today’s data practices, ecosystems, and infrastructure, as well as the most promising pathways to an innovative, compliant, and secure future of data.
