"In a knowledge based economy, with governments and businesses continuing to invest heavily in critical technology deployments, utilities companies looking at forming utility grids allowing them to virtualize and scale their resources at record pace and end users adopting the latest technology devices, a growing concern remains on the underlying threat of digital security to new technology adoption and the increasing channels of communication that have been created to communicate with it," said Savio Coutinho, CEO at Ideanomics.

"The Digital Security Summit will provide a unique platform for various verticals to come together to discuss and address key challenges faced with growing data and look at the role both government and service providers can take, in protecting its critical data and users at large," he added.
