Clément DOMINGO, aka SaxX, Lays Bare AI-driven Cyber Threats Live

An expert in cybersecurity and digital forensics, Clément Domingo, will speak at the ‘AI & Hacking’ session on 2 December. Also known as SaxX, Clément co-founded Hacker Without Borders, an NGO providing humanitarian organisations with free cybersecurity expertise and services to protect them against cyber threats. A regular contributor to mainstream media across Europe and Africa, this experienced speaker combines technical expertise with an engaging, accessible approach, incorporating quizzes and hacking demonstrations into his talks. At TRUSTECH, he will turn this attention to a major issue: the changing nature of cybercrime in the age of AI. Deepfakes, voice cloning, identity theft and payment fraud: through a live demonstration, he will show how AI is expanding cybercriminals’ capacity to cause harm. He will also share practical tactics to help anticipate these threats and guard against them. A must-attend session to understand how these attacks work and what they mean for digital trust.

Digital Identity, Connected Services and Interoperability in Practice

Healthcare, mobility and public services: digital identity is helping to transform everyday services. TRUSTECH 2026 will open with a conference track on ‘Human-centric digital ecosystems by 2030’. Speakers will include Hadhemi Kaddour Robin, Neuroscience Project Manager at France’s Agence de la Biomédecine; Bernard Billoud, Head of Open Data and Content Platforms at SNCF; William Rolland, Deputy Director for Digital Health at SNITEM; and Pierre Philipp, Professor of Physiology at the University of Bordeaux. Securing health data and managing identity throughout the patient journey will be central to the discussions.

On 2 December, discussions will explore the theme of ‘Shaping identity as a sovereign infrastructure’ and its role in supporting growth, with particular attention to digital wallets, interoperability and services that remain accessible in low-connectivity environments.

In partnership with Secure Identity Alliance and the OSIA community, TRUSTECH will host live interoperability demonstrations in a dedicated area at the heart of the event, as well as in a conference room on 3 December, with EUDIW Unfold, Aptitude and ID Campus. These sessions will bring together industry leaders, technology providers and public sector stakeholders to address a shared challenge: building trust and managing identities in an environment where humans and agents interact.
