According to Shirley Inscoe, strategic advisor at Aite-Novarica Group, identity thieves are coming up with out-of-the-box schemes to steal your identity, so companies should think seriously about protecting their personal data and updating their identity control mechanisms. This could keep the company safe from malicious fraud.
