Protecting Digital Identity When Disasters Strike

Mar 8, 2025

4:00pm – 5:00pm CT

Disasters don’t just destroy physical infrastructure—they open the door to digital exploitation. Scammers prey on vulnerable populations, exploiting compromised ID systems and fractured communication. In this session, a digital ID expert will take you inside the mind of a scammer, showing how they target crises and what steps we can take to protect digital identities. From emergency data protocols to privacy-focused technology, explore how we can outsmart malicious actors before they strike, ensuring people don’t face a digital crisis on top of other disasters.
