Identity has become the connective tissue of modern security. Whether defending government systems, protecting executives, preventing fraud, or safeguarding national infrastructure, identity sits at the center of every adversarial action. Today’s threats move seamlessly between physical spaces, digital ecosystems, and geopolitical domains and synthetic identities, deepfakes, and AI-enabled operations are accelerating that convergence.

Drawing on experience in the U.S. Secret Service, the intelligence community, and advanced risk and identity analytics at LexisNexis Risk Solutions, Paul Eckloff will explore how identity innovation is redefining trust in an era of hybrid threats. He will discuss how organizations can leverage behavioral intelligence, cross-domain analytics, and forward-looking technologies to detect and stop increasingly sophisticated adversaries.

Participants will gain insights into:

• Identity as a Security Backbone: Why identity intelligence matters as much to national and physical security as it does to cybersecurity.
• The Future of Digital Trust: How real-time data fusion, risk scoring, and continuous identity assurance enable high-confidence decisions in high-stakes environments.
• Privacy, Precision & Public Trust: How organizations balance responsible data use with the need for strong fraud prevention and threat detection.
• What’s Next: Over-the-horizon challenges — quantum resilience, state-sponsored synthetic identities, and emerging biological/organic computing risks.
