Join us on February 4th and 5th as we come together to present “Identity, Authentication, and the Road Ahead.”
About this event
2021 brings a new Biden Administration and a new Congress – and many of the same old problems when it comes to digital identity and authentication. If anything, things got worse over the last year; the COVID-19 pandemic and the shift to virtual laid bare the inadequacies of the nation’s digital identity infrastructure. Passwords keep getting phished, new account fraud keeps growing, and companies and consumers continue to struggle to prove that they are not a proverbial “dog on the Internet.”
On February 4th and 5th, join us as the Better Identity Coalition, the FIDO Alliance, the ID Theft Resource Center (ITRC) come together to present “Identity, Authentication, and the Road Ahead.”
This two-day virtual policy forum will bring together leaders from government, industry, and non-profits to discuss topics including:
- What to expect on identity and authentication in a Biden Administration
- How COVID-19 has transformed the identity landscape
- Ways that government can help address pain points in our identity infrastructure
- Updates on new products and standards like FIDO that can make authentication both more secure and easier to use for industry and government alike
- Discussions on what can be done to drive better identity in America
Keynote Speakers Include:
- Congressman Bill Foster (D-IL)
- Congressman John Katko (R-NY), Ranking Member, U.S. House Homeland Security Committee
- Michael Mosier, Deputy Director and Digital Innovation Officer at the U.S. Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).
