Thematic Signals #45 Vol.6
Traditionally, data privacy and the safeguarding of digital identity products and services have been lumped within the broader scope of Cybersecurity. Tematica recently launched the Tematica Bita Data Privacy and Digital Identity Index. It is our view that traditional cybersecurity is increasingly focused solely on the protection of large stores of data. Protecting personal privacy and digital identity data is more focused on what is known as Zero-Trust Environments or even passwordless access which help provide ring-fenced protection where humans, devices, and other devices can interact in a much more fluid environment. Bio-Key (BKYI) is an index constituent that we think best exemplifies the direction this emerging branch of cybersecurity is heading.
