In state and local government, confirming who’s on the other end of a login isn’t just an IT concern—it’s a frontline security issue. As fraud tactics grow more sophisticated, traditional defenses are no longer enough. Spoofed devices, synthetic identities, and even deepfakes are making it harder than ever to separate legitimate users from malicious actors.

Join Government Technology and ID Dataweb for a live webinar on how agencies can confidently verify users without disrupting access to critical systems. Whether you're responsible for managing benefits portals, employee access, or constituent-facing services, you'll learn how today’s identity checks are designed to keep pace with modern threats.

This session isn’t just for security pros. It’s built for cross-functional teams—from leadership to analysts—who need to understand where vulnerabilities exist and what tools actually close the gaps.

Why Attend?

  • Understand where fraud is entering your systems: Learn how attackers are exploiting help desks, call centers, and even mobile networks to bypass traditional security checks.
  • See how identity threat detection really works: Walk through how agencies are using AI, device data, and behavioral signals to tell real users from fake ones in real time.
  • Know what your compliance team needs: Get practical guidance on what standards like NIST SP 800-63A IAL2 actually require—and how to meet them without overcomplicating your workflows.
