ID:Talks are bonus presentations in the exhibit hall and are not components of the formal agenda produced by the FedID Planning Committee.

If you're still using traditional passwords or 2FA to authenticate users, go ahead and invest resources in a crisis management plan for the inevitable hack coming your way. Cyber espionage is a rapidly growing industry and passwords, in the traditional sense, are dead. Compromised passwords have accounted for 81 percent of data breaches and Cybersecurity Ventures predicts that cybercrime will cost the world around $6 trillion annually by 2021, up from $3 trillion in 2015. So how can your organization safeguard data and information without passwords? This session will educate attendees on the most advanced multi-modal, biometric MFA with frictionless anti-spoofing. Mr. David Harding, SVP and Chief Technology Officer at ImageWare® Systems, a leader in identity proofing and biometric authentication solutions, will discuss the current landscape of cybersecurity threats and guide the audience through a discussion about biometric security methods. Facial recognition with frictionless anti-spoofing enables true identity assurance and mitigates the risk of costly data breaches and identity fraud. Frictionless means users aren’t subjected to additional or unnatural movements such as smiling, tilting their head, or following a dot to verify their liveness. Attendees will learn how anti-spoofing technology prevents hackers from surreptitiously impersonating someone by using a photo, video, or 3D mask to fraudulently access systems and accounts. Passwords are vulnerable to brute force and social engineering. 2FA is subject to phishing and man-in-the-middle attacks. And now biometric authentication is the target of presentation attacks known as spoofing. Only advanced liveness assurance capabilities can prevent such presentation attacks. And only frictionless, liveness assurance provides the ease of use needed for full user adoption. ImageWare developed Biointellic(TM), an industry-leading anti-spoofing and frictionless liveness assurance solution. Its initial integration is with facial biometrics, but soon will be expanded into voice, palm, and other biometrics. Mr. Harding will compel attendees to shred their black books of passwords. He will outline how the strategic deployment of biometrics will empower enterprises to cut the cord - once and for all - from these antiquated security practices. With the implementation of biometrics, enterprises now have the capability to seamlessly and securely mitigate breaches, secure consumer data and improve processes.
