The emerging ethics of digital identity with Jessica Figueras, Hither Strategy – Podcast Episode 64

In episode 64, Oscar and Jessica explore the ethical issues surrounding digital identity, and what's happening to ensure ethical use of identity in the UK and globally. Plus, how organisations can continue to protect themselves while staying on the right side of this ethical minefield. "These issues are just too important to leave to business as usual. These issues are everyone's responsibility to fix." Jessica is a strategist specialising in trust and security, governance, and the role of tech in civil society. She works with start-ups and scale-ups on commercial strategy, and advises UK Government on technology and policy issues relating to cyber crime and online harms. Previously Jessica led multi-million pound research and data programmes for companies including Dods, GlobalData and Ovum, and has advised senior executives in large established tech companies as well as many VC-backed scaleups. She is currently Vice Chair of the UK Cyber Security Council, and was previously Chair of the Board at NCT, the UK's largest charity for parents. She is a sought-after speaker and commentator, and has published extensive research on the application of emerging technologies across government, telecoms and other regulated industries.
