Trust in the digital world — the Digital Trust -, how is it built? In the near future we will have to interact with millions, billions of connected machines: have we learned to trust people, will we invent a way to trust machines? Not yet, but innovative realities such as InfoCert and AWS are working to make it possible.

These are the challenges discussed at the fourth and final event of “Wine for Thought - A glass to savor the future”, the event organized by Crclex and Blum in collaboration with IBM, Infocert and Sanmarco Informatica, the event that yesterday November 25 brought together entrepreneurs, industry professionals and major international players at the Massimago Wine Tower.

“What are the tools that give us confidence? — you ask Igor Marcolongo than InfoCert — Over time we have learned to know the subjects with whom I am transacting, in years of the market we have realized that it is not the norm per se that creates trust, digital trust: we need clear governance schemes, understand what is happening, and connect them to what has happened in the past. The next challenge is to be able to regulate the Internet of Things and Industry 4.0: we are trying to work to bring the logic of “natural” trust to digital, going from Human to Human unto Machine to Machine”.

“Trust in the digital world is already a complex challenge for humans - he underlines. Fabrizio Leoni than InfoCert -, but even more complex for the things, objects, machines that we find in our industrial plants: millions, billions of objects connected to the Internet. Their communication is on the one hand a resounding opportunity, on the other hand a risk. Some sectors have been more interested in knowing how to create trusts, others will see an explosion of connected objects, we will have to learn to trust the clouds behind us, and the people who work there. It is a challenge that starts now, and it will certainly be among the global security issues of the coming years.”

The intervention of Dario Regazzoni than AWS — Amazon Web Services, the cloud computing platform of the homonymous company — focused on the importance of cloud services, on how they can guarantee data security — like a bank does for money -. Regazzoni also spoke about how in the future we will try to implement the regulations, first for the customer and then to extend them to the whole world.

Wine for Thought will return after the Christmas holidays, for other appointments with large international companies, always on the themes of digital, innovation and the future.
