Digital Identity Protection is One of the Top Issues for Federal Agencies at FedID 19
September 25 2019 - 7:05AM
As more than 1,200 government officials gather at the Federal
Identity Forum & Exposition (FedID 19), TransUnion’s (NYSE:
TRU) public sector business unit today unveiled at the conference
its enhanced fraud identity management solutions. The solutions
help solve one of the largest challenges facing federal government
agencies – managing, protecting and providing improved visibility
for digital identities.
In today’s digital world, public sector agencies and
constituents need a trusted data steward to safely and easily
transact with each other. TransUnion’s IDVision® with iovation®
suite of solutions, working within the latest National Institute of
Standards (NIST) and Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
guidelines, assist agencies in fighting fraud across the identity
risk management lifecycle, helping verify constituent data in real
time with prevention, detection and mitigation
capabilities.
“Our TransUnion public sector team is proud to support the
digital public-facing needs of government with market leading
identity verification and device reputation strategies that address
various risks across federal and state and local user account
management programs,” said Jonathan McDonald, executive vice
president of TransUnion’s public sector business unit. “Our
approach provides a low-friction user experience while ensuring
compliance and resilience to our clients’ systems, which provides
critical access and services to consumers and constituents.”
Digital identities in online applications are rapidly evolving
with new approaches enabling easier transactions, yet this
expansive use also opens the door to fraud. Cyber criminals are
exploiting systems and emerging digital processes and systems to
steal identities.
Education is a critical part of understanding the process and
helping mitigate the risk. Geoff Miller, senior vice president
& global head of fraud and identity solutions for TransUnion,
will be part of a panel at FedID 19, in a session titled: “Identity
Use and Applications.”
“The agenda at FedID 19 is in lock-step with the public sector’s
need to help agencies address and prevent identity fraud.
Regardless of device, location or role, federal agencies today want
a 360-degree view of consumer identity that includes online and
offline datasets,” said Miller. “This gives them a truer single
view of personal and digital identities that will signal fraud in
its earliest possible stages, helping to proactively detect,
prevent and even remedy the situation.”
TransUnion’s IDVision with iovation assesses fraud risk based on
traditional identity information while adding a powerful
device-based view of online interactions. More information about
