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