It Takes a Network to Beat a Network: How Agencies Can Protect Constituent-Facing Services

The explosion of online identity theft and pandemic-related benefits fraud is evolving into a threat to American national and economic security. Better deployment of today’s digital identity verification solutions can reverse the current trajectory while also having the added benefit of increasing access to benefits for those that need them most.

Domestic and foreign crime rings that drove the fraud in unemployment benefits are moving to other sectors. Digital identity providers are the first line of defense against this fraud. During this webinar we’ll explore the link between equity and fraud in online government services delivery, as well as offer recommendations on how industry and government can partner to improve the path ahead for identity verification.

Highlights:

• A detailed look at what controls proved effective at stopping different types of fraud during the pandemic
• The current challenges associated with providing equitable access for our most vulnerable populations while also stopping the crime rings that would exploit them
• Recommendations for what we, as an industry, can do to overcome our current challenges, including refined NIST standards, a push for common metrics, enabling consumer choice, and more.
