Identity Theft: What Agencies Need to Know about the Threat Landscape

Every year, identity theft causes untold anguish and millions of dollars lost to stolen goods and services. Identity theft as related to government agencies and government employees takes on a greater urgency considering the data to which government employees have access. And the problem is not going away or mitigating. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has ranked identity theft as the number one complaint for 15 years in a row. And identity theft related fraud occurring against government agencies is now the leading complaint, overtaking credit card fraud. How can government agencies best protect their programs from identity fraud? And how can government agencies help protect consumers/individuals against nefarious identity thieves? In this special Webcast, subject matter experts from both the Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC) and the FTC will offer their perspectives on the current identity theft related fraud "threatscape."

Topics to be addressed include:

  • Insights from the recent FTC Consumer Sentinel Network Databook findings, covering the research results and key findings.
  • Updates on current trends in identity theft and identity fraud and how it’s affecting government programs.
  • The role of agencies in working with individuals whose identities have been compromised, including a review of the new IdentityTheft.gov initiative.

Presented by:

  • Eva Velasquez, CEO, Identity Theft Resource Center
  • Lisa Schifferle, Attorney in the Bureau of Consumer Protection, FTC
  • Larry Benson, Author of Fraud of the Day and Director of Strategic Alliances, LexisNexis Risk Solutions
