Trust Never Sleeps - Thales Security Sessions

What this episode covers

In this episode, host Steve Prentice talks with Ant Allan, former VP Analyst at Gartner, to explore a future where identity is no longer a single moment at login, but a continuous, evolving signal. As AI agents begin acting on our behalf, and deepfakes challenge the very idea of “proof,” traditional authentication models are breaking down. Ant explains why biometrics, from device‑bound fingerprints to vein patterns and continuous ECG, are becoming essential evidence in the identity equation. He also reveals why friction still matters: not as an inconvenience, but as a psychological anchor that reassures users during high‑risk actions. If you want to understand where authentication is truly headed - beyond passwords, beyond factors, and into a world where trust never sleeps, this conversation is essential listening.

NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next.
