The European Cyber Security Community Project (ECCO), led by ECSO, announces its new knowledge-sharing webinar on Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI), focusing on how it enhances privacy and security by giving individuals control over their digital identities, taking place on 19 November 2024, from 11:30 to 12:30 CET. This online discussion is organised by the ECCO Community Group on Human Factors.
Summary
In an increasingly digital world, enabling privacy-focused and user-controlled identity management is essential. Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) is a decentralised approach that empowers individuals by giving them control over their digital identities without relying on centralized authorities. This Webinar explores how SSI fosters privacy and security by design, promoting trust and supporting digital sovereignty across sectors such as healthcare, IoT, and beyond. Through real-world applications, we will examine SSI’s potential to address critical security challenges, ultimately empowering end users and strengthening digital ecosystems.
