Fighting Unemployment Fraud: Identity Modernization Punches Above Its Weight

Fraudsters fight dirty. They steal identities, exploit outdated systems, and siphon off vital funds that people desperately need. They punch too fast for understaffed state agencies. Yet the hardest hits always seem to land on the deserving and the innocent, particularly when it takes weeks or months for aid to arrive.

Online unemployment claims aren’t going away, so how can agencies tell the deserving applicant from the fraudster? When identity modernization enters the ring, it knocks fraudsters out with a powerful combination of identity proofing, strong authentication, analytics, and intelligence.

• How analytics-based identity proofing ensures people are who they claim to be
• How phishing-resistant multifactor authentication keeps people in control of their accounts
• How pre-authentication threat intelligence fends off bots, social engineering, and other malicious logins
