Trust but Verify: Balancing Seamless Access and Robust Security
As digital credentialing and self-service learner accounts grow, so does the risk of identity fraud and “ghost student” activity. In this session, we will share how identity verification can be integrated into learner registration and credential request processes to foster better security and trust for vital learner credentials. Attendees will learn:
- how modern ID verification works
- how to embed it into existing workflows
- practical lessons for protecting institutional integrity without creating friction for legitimate learners
Presenters:
Kristie Lindell, Vice President, Product
Jesse Parrish, Product Manager
