Identity & Access Governance – Is it a NEED or a WANT?

Identity Fraud Costs

McKinsey estimates that synthetic identity fraud – in which criminals use fictitious IDs to secure credit is the fastest-growing type of financial crime in the United States. In the year 2016, synthetic identity fraud was responsible for up to 20% of defaulted credit card debt, costing lenders worldwide estimation of $6 billion.

During the pandemic, as the majority of the economy relied on the internet for everyday tasks, the prevalence of online fraud spiked by a third, and reported consumer losses of £2.3bn. Hence imperative to ensure the adoption and promotion of safe and secure means of identity
verification across society and the economy.
