Importance:
Digital trust brings the confidence in users have in the ability of people, technology and processes to create a secure digital world. Digital trust is given to companies who have shown their users they can provide safety, privacy, security, reliability, and data ethics with their online programs or devices.
Digital Trust is a necessity in a global economy reliant on ever-increasing connectivity, data use, and new innovative technologies. To be trustworthy, technology must be secure (ensuring connected systems’ confidentiality, integrity, and availability) as well as responsibly used. The lack of assurances regarding these two aspects has led to a digital trust deficit.
