As cyberthreats grow more sophisticated, higher education institutions face increasing risks from fraudulent digital activity across a wide range of applications, including financial aid, vendor onboarding, research grants, and internal systems access.
Cybersecurity solutions that detect and prevent fraudulent applications are essential to protecting institutional data, resources, and reputation.
In this session, we cover Verified Credentials (VCs), a cryptographically indisputable credential that proves who you are without relying on shared secrets. They are issued by a trusted authority (e.g., employer, government) and stored securely in your digital wallet. VCs support passwordless login, multi-factor, and zero-trust principles.
Key session topics include:
- What is a Verified Credential?
- Verified Credentials vs. Passwords
- Benefits of Verifiable Credentials
- VO Verified Credential Demos
- Ghost Student Fraud Problem
- Why Traditional Controls Fail
- How Verified Credentials Prevents Ghost Students
- Operational Improvements for Institutions
- Additional High Value Use Cases
- Q&A
