Digital identity assurance is a way of verifying that a citizen’s claimed identity really matches with their digital footprint online.
You need fast, automated, digital authentication to differentiate a trusted citizen from a cybercriminal, beginning with account origination to every visit and transaction that follows. From a high-level perspective, digital identity verification is using analytical models to match digital intelligence that’s gathered during that online event with known digital identities and threat intelligence. For example, these analytical models might look to see if a citizen is: • Gaining access using the same device they’ve used before • Located in the typical places where they normally access government services • Employing similar typing patterns that they usually do • Using a direct connection or is it going through an unusual route to get to the site The models also look for any signs of compromise around the device that may have put it at risk.
