Like any enterprise initiative, the overall strategy will need to come from executive leadership. Many
organizations are establishing Chief Digital Trust Offers, or DTOs. The primary mission of a DTO is
assuring that the organization’s digital assets and services can be trusted by customers and partners.
They focus on ensuring that trust is integrated into every digital interaction, and work to keep the
organization’s digital presence secure and dependable. A DTO leader sends a strong message about a
company’s commitment to the security and trust of its digital infrastructure—and reassures internal
employees as well.

With forward-focused leadership, good communication and proactive strategies, organizations can meet
AI and quantum computing challenges in the years ahead—and be ready for new ones on the horizon.
