Identity Management Career

Identity theft prevention and fraud detection are some of the major identity management challenges affecting millions of customers and costing billions of dollars in fraud management expenses. The increase in identity theft cases have led to increased regulations which requires many companies to develop and implement effective identity theft prevention programs.

Any business which manages internal or external identities for identification and authorization purposes must employ knowledgeable professionals with general or specific identity risk management skills to design and implement programs, tools and processes for properly managing business and customer information. Most recently, new identity management careers are introduced in the areas of identity theft prevention and regulatory compliance within organizations where the risk of identity theft is heightened due to their business nature. Increasingly, new and consolidated skill sets are required to combat identity theft and fraud, maintain privacy, and ensure compliance.
