<p>The Federal Trade Commission recently estimated that nationwide fraud tops ten billion dollars. Most of the efforts to stop this abuse start with identification.</p>
<p>However, the federal response has been weak.</p>
<p>Today, we have a former federal leader and current Vice President and Head of Public Sector Strategy for Society on the podcast, Jordan Burris. He opens with the obvious – if <a href="https://www.socure.com/glossary/bad-actor">malicious actors</a> are leveraging <a href="https://www.socure.com/glossary/artificial-intelligence">artificial intelligence</a> to attack identities, then the only logical response is to use AI against AI.</p>
<p>AI allows malicious actors to assemble identity information for fast access. Recent reports highlight a concept called an “identity access broker.” This is a company that stores compromised credentials and sells them like one would buy shoes.</p>

<h3>&#8220;We adopt artificial intelligence and machine learning in order to build models that we&#8217;re using to assess the risk of an applicant or an individual as they&#8217;re engaging with an online digital service,&#8221; said Burris.</h3>

<p>From his perspective, the federal government has not moved away from legacy systems fast enough and is leaving itself vulnerable. For example,<a href="https://www.socure.com/blog/digital-intelligence-suite-beyond-traditional-digital-identity"> a traditional system may approve an identity, but not be able to continuously maintain that identification</a>. It has been shown that Multi-factor Authentication can leave sessions open where an initial valid identity can be compromised.</p>
<p>Identity is not stagnant and innovative approaches can look at many aspects of identity, including <a href="https://www.socure.com/glossary/liveness-detection">liveness detection</a>.</p>
