Government and Industry Tackle Identity Management Crisis

TAMPA, Fla., Sept. 18, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Presidential candidates confronting questions about the issue of illegal immigrants agree that the solution requires a multipronged approach. Ensuring well-maintained physical barriers and enforcing laws are only two tactics that must be deployed. Technologies also must be employed to support visa tracking, manage a multitude of databases and facilitate identification authentication from the time individuals enter a country until they either become legal citizens or leave.

To examine the biometrics and identity management challenges and explore some of the technical solutions, experts from government, industry and academia will gather at the Global Identity Summit (GIS) September 21-24 at the Tampa Convention Center in Florida. Among the speakers will be:

• Mark DiFraia, senior director of solutions strategy, MorphoTrust USA
• Peter Swire, professor, Georgia Institute of Technology
• Mark Branchflower, head of fingerprint unit, Interpol
• Michael Garris, biometrics senior scientist, NIST/ITL/IAD
• Don Thibeau, president and chairman, Open Identity Exchange

Session, roundtable and workshop topics include:

• Biometrics for Department of Defense Law Enforcement
• The Future of Tactical Identity Operations
• Global Commerce: The Importance of Identity Within the Financial Services Sector
• DNA: Next-Generation Sequencing Technology Application to Human ID
• Identity Theft: Win, Lose or Draw?
• Killing the Password

Summit attendees can take advantage of 25 GIS sessions that qualify as continuing education to maintain certifications related to U.S. federal government requirements. These session also may support (ISC)² , National Contract Management Association (NCMA), Project Management Institute (PMI), GAGAS and Defense Acquisition Workforce continuing education and/or certification maintenance requirements.
