Appearances:

Identity Week Europe 2026 Day 1 @ 11:40

Panel: Online fraud

Discuss the increasing threat of synthetic identity fraud, where fraudsters create entirely new identities using a combination of real and fake information to open fraudulent accounts.
Discuss how continuous authentication goes beyond a one-time login check by using passive behavioral biometrics to monitor user activity throughout a session, flagging suspicious behavior in real-time.
Debate the necessity of cooperation between governments, law enforcement, and private tech companies to share intelligence, disrupt criminal networks, and coordinate responses to large-scale cyberattacks.
