The less known side of identity theft: What every InfoSec professional should know about identity theft
January 9th, 2009
On Tuesday, January 13, I will be talking about Identity theft at ISSA DC Chapter monthly meeting. Come and join us. Everyone is welcome.
This is a good opportunity to learn something about an issue that impacts all of us today and collect a few CPEs.
The aim of this presentation is to help security professionals to better understand identity theft, and to differentiate it from other related crimes. The presentation begins by describing the history of identity theft and explains how the process takes place. It introduces the notion of identity theft enablers, and identifies those that make the United States the most seriously affected country by this crime. We will see how legislation deals with the problem and how official statistics fail to properly account for the magnitude of the crime. Finally, we will learn about the real costs and recovery of the crime; both tangible and intangible.
