Top 10 Asia/Pacific FoT predictions for 2022 and beyond: IDC
IDC Asia/Pacific shares the top 10 predictions for the Future of Trust point to a new normal as the world continues to navigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Organizations in Asia/Pacific – private sector, government, and educational institutions – have reached a digital transformation tipping point and are aggressively embracing digital-first strategies.

Whilst building trust is essential, maintaining positive trust levels is the key challenge for Asia/Pacific organizations ” says Jeff Xie, Senior Market Analyst for Security and Trust Research, IDC Asia/Pacific. “Managing the various elements of Trust creates trust outcomes that go beyond the individual entities and Asia/Pacific organizations that leverage these predictions positively can gain a competitive advantage.”
