ID Dataweb to join Sept. 17 panel on AI-augmented identity fraud in Tallahassee

ID Dataweb said on Sept. 3 that its Chief Cybersecurity Evangelist, Dr. Torsten George, will take part in a panel at the Florida Public Sector Cybersecurity Summit on Sept. 17 in Tallahassee, Florida.

The session, titled “Fraud in the Age of AI: Defending Against Deepfakes and Social Engineering,” is set for 1:40 p.m. EDT at the Florida State Conference Center. The company said the discussion will focus on how government agencies can respond to AI-augmented identity attacks.

The panel comes as public agencies are facing more attention on identity fraud methods that can include deepfakes, voice cloning and social engineering, according to the release. ID Dataweb said the session is intended to offer attendees guidance on identity threat detection and risk mitigation for government services and citizens.

The panel will also include Brian Abbondanza, chief information security officer for the Florida Department of Children and Families’ Office of Information Technology Services. Phil Bertolini, chief delivery officer at Government Technology, will moderate.

ID Dataweb said it will also serve as an anchor sponsor and exhibit on the show floor. The company said its SaaS platform uses adaptive identity verification, behavioral analytics, device and credential intelligence, and dynamic risk scoring.

In a quoted statement in the release, George said AI has “dramatically lowered the barrier for cybercriminals to create convincing identity-based fraud.” He also said agencies should not rely solely on credentials to establish trust.

The summit is set for Sept. 17 at the Florida State Conference Center in Tallahassee. ID Dataweb said its team will be present as an exhibitor and sponsor.
