Ensuring access to digital identities with Ping Identity’s Richard Bird – Podcast Episode 46

In episode 46, Oscar and Richard discuss how the Decentralized Identity Foundation is helping people gain control of their online identities and why an open-standards based approach to identity management is the key to better privacy, lower fraud, and a more ethical user experience. "Decentralised identity will create an empowerment framework for people to have a part to play in their digital identity." Richard Bird is the Chief Customer Information Officer for Ping Identity, a leading identity solution and access management platform. An internationally recognised data privacy and identity-centric security expert, Richard leverages his diverse experiences as a strategic advisor, solutions provider and former global head of identity for JP Morgan Chase’s consumer businesses to challenge current notions about cybersecurity. He is a Forbes Tech council member and has been interviewed by the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, The Financial Times, Business Insider, and the NYSE on topics ranging from data protection regulations to cybersecurity enabled consumer protection. The Decentralized Identity Foundation aims to develop an open ecosystem for decentralised management of digital identities and ensure interoperability between all participants.
