Communication on various platforms such as video conferencing, social media, messaging apps and emails necessitates a sufficient level of privacy. As a result, end-to-end encryption is required, rendering data incomprehensible when in transit, with only communicating users able to read data exchanged between them. This prevents information from being stolen and read by a third party. Secure provisioning and storage of identifiers and credentials is integral to provide a secure deployment in order to achieve trust and security. Hardware technologies such as HSMs need to be utilised.

Strengthened connectivity, secured digital identities and an expansion of services become imperative in order to support the digitisation within this industry.
