Citizen Data Protection
How Your Government Can Ensure Comprehensive Cybersecurity with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Fraud Protection
As fraudulent attacks by hackers and scammers continue to rise and become increasingly sophisticated, citizen data maintained by governments of all sizes is at risk of exploitation. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in increasing citizen need for financial assistance from government, further exacerbating the problem. In Florida, the FBI says unemployment fraud is a “crisis situation”. Other states aren’t faring much better: Washington was recently hit by a second wave of unemployment fraud.
Unfortunately, few government agencies or departments can devote resources full time to identifying fraudulent activity across various channels, nor can these agencies simply write off the losses sustained in fraudulent attacks. In many cases, the funds or information accessed by fraudsters is critical to the agency’s operation or sensitive in nature.
To fight an effective battle against fraudsters, government agencies must rely on technology solutions like Microsoft Dynamics 365 Fraud Protection.
Watch this on-demand webcast hosted by Microsoft and HSO to learn how Microsoft Dynamics 365 Fraud Protection can help municipalities proactively identify anomalous activity and ensure citizen data protection.
The session is kicked off by an interview with Theresa Payton, renowned cybersecurity expert, CEO of Fortalice, best-selling author, and former White House CIO. Theresa will speak about the importance of comprehensive cybersecurity to better protect your citizens.

Governments Can Keep Constituent Accounts and Data Safe with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Fraud Protection
Fraud is everywhere these days, and no industry or sector is immune, including government. It’s especially bad in areas like unemployment insurance and social welfare. The FBI says unemployment fraud in Florida is a “crisis situation”, and the state of Washington was recently victim of a second wave of unemployment fraud. As fraud numbers rise and bad actors get smarter, Government agencies are under increased pressure to combat it, but few have the resources to be effective at it. But they can’t afford not to fight fraud; the money or information that’s being threatened is vital to continuing operations or sensitive in nature.
Take a Proactive Approach to Preventing Government Fraud
Fraud is a topic on everyone’s mind these days. It seems there is a new story every day about a new scheme or form of fraud. Unfortunately, government fraud at all levels—from municipal to federal—is very serious. Since the reason for the existence of governments is to serve tax-paying citizens, they need to know things about those citizens to provide services. And bad actors are looking for how to make a quick buck by taking advantage of the public sector’s outreach to its citizens. This makes for a dangerous combination.
