  1. Protecting Your Company, Employees and Customers from Identity TheftPresented by: Bill MorrowCSIdentity Chairman and CEO

  2. Agenda • Risks Businesses Face Today • Identity Theft Overview • Identity Theft Protection and Data Security • Questions & Answers

  3. Risk and The Opportunity Cost • With RISK taking there is an opportunity or payback for a sacrifice OR consequences to pay for not taking a risk. In today’s business environment and with identity theft, there is an opportunity cost -- the cost of doing nothing. • There is no payback for accepting or allowing the RISK to occur. • Risk: to expose oneself to the chance of injury or loss, to venture upon, take or run the chance of an outcome; put oneself in danger or hazard. • Consequences for inaction are greater than ever before – not just from a lost revenue perspective but also from a legislative point of view with state and federal regulations setting compliance standards.

  4. Managing Risk • Identity theft is ever-evolving and criminals are becoming more sophisticated, scheming ways to infiltrate businesses, find the gaps in security, manipulate the system and discover ways to further deceive consumers. • Businesses need to be ahead of the curve, and stay ahead of criminals, to protect their assets including revenue, customer base and employees. • Legislation is established as a result of incidents - reacting to discovered threats. However, today there are unrealized threats and areas where your company is unknowingly unprotected. • It’s important to be proactive versus reactive when it comes to fraud and identity theft. • Manage risk & close the gaps.

  5. Identity Theft and Related Fraud Risks • Hiring employees who use false identity data to mask a criminal history and gain access to your networks and data from the inside • Retaining employees who have committed criminal offenses after being hired and screened • Employee errors, loose policies or internal fraud causing data breaches of company, customer and employee data • Thieves or hackers externally accessing your network and data • Criminals buying and selling your company and customer data to other criminals who use it to commit more crimes • Maintaining incomplete current safeguards that may allow for gaps in security

  6. Spear-phishing & Whaling Do you know who your colleagues report suspicious e-mails to? Would you or your senior management team recognize a whaling e-mail or use a USB from an unknown source?

Survey results include some cases of identity theft where the individual was impacted by more than one area (i.e. credit take-over and credit new account).  For purposes of presenting in a pie chart, survey results were pro-ratably adjusted for these cases in order that a relative comparison of types of identity theft could be presented.

Identity Theft Defense Framework • Understand environment, criminals, and motives • Why would the data you control be desired? • How would a criminal conduct transactions with your organization using a stolen identity? • Are you vulnerable to internal risks from employees, contractors, and vendors? • Understand risk areas • What types of transactions are high risk and where would they occur? • Are their gaps between systems or organization silos that can be exploited? • Install controls to identify and prevent theft and fraud • Who do you hire? • Who has access? • Who conducts transactions – who authorizes, who overrides, and who is responsible? • Who monitors and audits? • Plan for post-fraud response • What constitutes a breach and what defines the severity of breach? • Who is notified and how is information conveyed to exposed victims? • What victim protection solutions will be extended based on data exposed and severity of breach?

  20. Identity Data Security Requirements • Thirty-nine states (including Texas) have data security and privacy legislation. • Federal legislation mimicking California data security and privacy legislation is pending • Define data requiring compliance – Personal Confidential Information (PCI). • Name associated with Social Security number, driver’s license, account data (debit or credit), usernames and passwords, and other sensitive data • Protect PCI data from exposure. • Storage – database, desktop, laptop, paper • Transfer – e-mail, other network, backup tape (other medium), physical • Destruction – data storage timelines, physical storage and destruction policies • Define a policy for responding to data security breaches. • Proactively develop data breach response plan as part of overall disaster recovery efforts • Promptly implement breach plan upon breach identification • Notify consumer victims and extend victim protection services in response to a breach
