ID Talk: Walking the Privacy Tightrope in Identity Fraud Prevention with AuthenticID’s Chris Borkenhagen

On the latest episode of the ID Talk podcast, hosts Tony Bitzionis and Alex Perala are joined by Chris Borkenhagen, the Chief Digital Officer and Chief Information Security Officer of AuthenticID. With a cybersecurity-focused career stemming from his early days in the Canadian navy, Chris brings a level of IT security expertise that clearly comes through in his discussion with Alex and Tony, which touches on a range of topics, including centralized versus decentralized data storage, the threat of account takeover attacks, the benefits and drawbacks of comprehensive data privacy legislation, and the implausibility of claims to “unhackable” security.

AuthenticID has a winding corporate history – as Chris details early in the interview – and today stands as a leading voice in the fight against fraud, and a key provider of identity assurance systems for the enterprise. Just in the last few months, the company has unveiled a sophisticated new deepfake detection system, and provided insight into salient cybersecurity trends with its 2024 Mid-Year Identity Fraud Review.

In his appearance on ID Talk, Chris Borkenhagen underscores that technological expertise while bringing a refreshing candor and humility to these topics, emphasizing that there’s no easy, “silver bullet” solution to fraud and other cyber threats, which instead must be addressed through constant, thoughtful cybersecurity efforts.
