The days of asking your users to hold up an ID on a Zoom meeting should be over. Traditional identity verification practices struggle to keep pace with sophisticated threats and rising user expectations. This session, "Modernizing Identity Verification: Beyond Legacy Practices," examines why organizations across industries must rethink how they establish and maintain digital trust. Legacy practices, even from two or three years ago, often create vulnerabilities that bad actors exploit, from high-stakes environments like banking, which demands rigorous identity proofing, to retail, where a lighter approach is often sufficient.

We'll explore strategies that balance robust security with seamless user experience, using banking as a case for high-verification requirements and retail for lower-verification needs. Attendees will gain insights into advanced identity proofing techniques, adaptive risk-based authentication, and the use of AI in fraud detection. We’ll cover practical challenges and opportunities, highlighting tools like biometrics, decentralized identifiers, and FIDO2 that can scale to meet both stringent and minimal verification demands.

Join us for actionable steps to future-proof your verification strategy, enhancing security and user satisfaction alike. Whether your organization is aiming to prevent fraud, streamline onboarding, or comply with regulations, this session provides a comprehensive roadmap for building resilient, flexible identity solutions suited to today’s security and business needs.
