Launching the Global Assured Identity Network (GAIN) with Elizabeth Garber – Podcast Episode 52

In episode 52, Elizabeth explores the recently announced Global Assured Identity Network (GAIN) initiative. She fills us in on what the GAIN project is, explaining how it's different from other trust networks and why GAIN is good for financial institutions. She also discusses the role of the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF) in the project, and what's next GAIN.
