Identity fraud is not a single threat with a single definition. It’s an evolving spectrum of attacks that range from opportunistic misuse of personal information to highly coordinated, AI-enabled operations designed to exploit systemic vulnerabilities at scale.

In this webinar, experts from Socure and the Center for Digital Government will break down the stages of identity fraud and examine the tools, controls and governance strategies required to mitigate risk at each level of sophistication. They will examine trending and emerging attack vectors such as contact center fraud, fake job applicants and fraudulent job postings, and coordinated identity manipulation powered by automation and AI. You will gain insight into how modern fraud schemes operate in practice and how agencies and organizations can strengthen their defenses without sacrificing user experience or equitable access.

We’ll cover:

  • How identity fraud evolves — from basic misuse to highly sophisticated, coordinated attacks
  • The mechanics behind common and emerging fraud schemes
  • How to evaluate your organization’s position on the fraud maturity spectrum
  • How to adopt a structured, proactive approach to manage identity risk in a complex digital environment
