It will dive deeper into the principles of digital identities\, the use of biometrics in this context and  potential attack modes that organisations should prepare for.  \nFor over 20 years\, the Biometrics Institute has provided guidance and education on biometrics helping its members to deliver on our mission of promoting the responsible\, ethical and effective use of biometrics. The Biometrics Institute Three Laws of Biometrics stresses that policy must come first\, followed by process and then technology – which should be guided by policy and process.  \nOur workshops provide a trusted platform to learn about new developments in biometrics and outline how we can advance security and good practice to identify and verify people.   \nIn May 2024 the Institute released a members-only paper on Mitigating Biometric Vulnerabilities in Digital Identity which is an executive briefing on critical things to consider when using biometrics in digital identity.   \nThis workshop will be an essential tool to understanding the latest developments\, the content of the paper and how to be better prepared.  \nThe session will provide deeper insights into three important guiding documents:   \n\n Mitigating Biometric Vulnerabilities in Digital Identity – Executive Briefing \n\n Digital Onboarding and Biometrics paper \n\n Digital Identity and Biometric Authentication paper \n\nIt will address issues such as:  \n\n Security before convenience: While powerful\, biometrics systems can nonetheless be attacked. The types of attack and their mitigation must be considered. \n\n Balance risks and outcomes: Protections may add cost and friction to customer experiences which need to be carefully balanced. \n\n Manage risks in context: If vulnerabilities are managed\, today’s biometric systems can make it much cheaper\, easier and safer to implement robust digital identity systems. \n\n Different attack points: These vary in accessibility to bad actors\, the resources needed for the attack\, scalability of attack volume\, and the types of mitigations required. \n\n Use available tools: The Biometrics Institute offers a range of material on vulnerabilities in biometric technologies. \n\n Allocate resources to manage risk: Proactive monitoring is essential to stay ahead of evolving security challenges. \n\nWORKSHOP PRESENTER \nBrett Feldon is a Biometrics Institute Advisory Council member and is Head of the Biometrics Institute’s Digital Identity Expert Group (DIG). He was previously on the board of the Institute from November 2011 until March 2019 and is based in Sydney\, Australia. Brett’s professional experience includes management and oversight of deployments of voice biometrics solutions in Australia\, New Zealand\, Hong Kong and the US\, across a range of industries and government departments. The DIG has worked on a range of topics with regards to biometrics and digital identity and helped release the Digital Onboarding and Biometrics guiding paper in 2021\, the Digital Identity and Biometric Authentication paper in 2023\, and the Mitigating Biometric Vulnerabilities in Digital Identity – Executive Briefing in 2024. \n  \nREGISTRATION FEES \nMember – A$620 (incl.
