Impersonation is at the core of digital fraud—whether it's phishing via email, vishing with spoofed CLI, or smishing through SMS and messaging apps. Fraudsters exploit these channels by posing as trusted entities: government agencies, businesses, even individuals.
With low-cost AI tools, massive troves of breached personal data, and ubiquitous access to digital communications, bad actors are more effective than ever.
The issue isn’t gullibility—it’s the lack of access to verifiable identity and trust attributes that signal whether a message or call is legitimate. Without that, even savvy users are left guessing.
That’s where Digital Identity comes in.
When identity can be verified—and paired with meaningful trust attributes—recipients can confidently decide which communications to trust and which to treat with caution.
In this session, we’ll break down what Digital Identity really is, how it helps mitigate fraud across digital channels, and what’s ahead for building a more trustworthy telecom ecosystem.
