1Kosmos to Discuss Role of Digital Identity at 2023 Texas Bankers Association Cyber Tech Conference

Former Head of Information Security at Lehman Brothers Mike Engle will explain how to get digital identity right to increase customer satisfaction and security

1Kosmos, the only company that unifies identity proofing and passwordless authentication, today announced that Mike Engle, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer, will present a session on getting digital identity right at the Texas Bankers Association Annual Cyber Tech Conference. This two day event will feature educational sessions and peer networking opportunities to help bank executives increase productivity, customer satisfaction and profitability.

WHO: Mike Engle, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of 1Kosmos is a proven information technology executive, company builder and entrepreneur, as well as an expert in information security, business development and product design/development. He was previously head of information security at Lehman Brothers and co-founder of Bastille Networks.

WHAT: Synthetic identity is the leading source of fraud losses for banks. Until recently it was virtually impossible for banks to verify whether online banking users were who they claimed to be. Advances in technology, including biometrics, identity proofing, multi-factor passwordless authentication and digital wallets, have changed the playing field. This session will explain how to get digital identity right in order to eliminate friction for customers and workers, make passwords a thing of the past, reduce fraud and eliminate the high cost of cyber insurance.
