The AIBC Eurasia Expo set the stage for a compelling discussion on How to Build Trust and Secure Data in the Entertainment Landscape, bringing together a distinguished panel of experts to navigate the complexities of consumer security and regulatory frameworks. Taking place on February 24th at 10:10 AM, the session at Festival Arena, Dubai, featured Oliver De Bono, CEO of Quantum Gaming, Nadim Bardawil, Partner at BSA Law, Yuliya Khrenova, Head of Compliance at IGA, and Joe Pisano, Founder and CEO at Jade Entertainment Technology. Together, they examined how media platforms can fortify data protection measures while fostering consumer trust in an increasingly interconnected world.

The conversation explored the delicate balance between security and user autonomy, with panellists sharing insights on regulatory strategies, technological solutions, and the evolving expectations of consumers. Joe Pisano, Founder and CEO at Jade Entertainment Technology, underscored the significance of consumer choice, stating: Consumer choice is keyopting in brings benefits, but rigid rules can hurt them long-term. With multiple APIs to manage, flexibility in handling data is essential. His remarks highlighted the need for adaptable data policies that align with both security imperatives and user convenience.

A key theme was the growing role of decentralised security models, which distribute risk across multiple infrastructure points rather than centralising sensitive consumer information. Speakers also addressed cross-border data compliance, stressing the need for businesses to implement multi-jurisdictional security strategies that cater to varying regulatory landscapes.

As the industry continues to evolve, the session concluded with a consensus that collaborative frameworks between regulators, businesses, and technology providers will be essential in crafting sustainable security solutions.

The conversation does not end here. Stakeholders are also looking forward to the networking drinks and dinner happening this evening, and even more for Day 2, February 25th, of the summit, which will bring more top-of-the-line and trendy topics of the industry. With SiGMAs global roadshow spanning seven destinations in 2025, key discussions on compliance and consumer security will continue to drive industry progress worldwide.
