Login.gov enhances federal digital security by implementing robust authentication and identity proofing mechanisms, while proactively monitoring for potential identity theft to mitigate cyber risks. A key aspect of Login.gov’s authentication  approach is utilizing a Source Issuer Verification service to electronically verify U.S. State-issued Driver’s License (DL) and Identity (ID) card data directly with the custodian of the record in real time at Login.gov’s request. 

OET and PSHSB want to use the data from IPVM to help inform analysis and identification of devices and device manufacturers that could be associated with entities that present national security concerns.

Login.gov is a growing platform and needs a variety of identity verification methods and data sources allowing more of the public to access digital services provided by participating local, state, tribal, territorial, and federal agencies in a secure and simple manner. As login.gov grows, there is the need to have the mix of methods/data sources that can most effectively proof login.gov’s users.

Efficient Investigations Demand Smarter Data Analytics

The U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) Criminal Division’s May 12, 2025 memorandum by Matthew R. Galeotti, Head of the Criminal Division, introduces a sharper focus on “Efficient Investigations” in white-collar crime enforcement.

US Dept. of Education launches crackdown on student aid fraud with new ID verification rules

The announcement marks the most aggressive anti-fraud policy shift at the Department of Education in over a decade and comes in the wake of a growing crisis. According to data compiled by Federal Student Aid (FSA), the rate of fraud through stolen identities has reached a level that imperils the integrity of Title IV of the Higher Education Act, the legislation governing federal financial aid.

Small Purchases, Big Risks: Shadow AI Use In Government

Powerful AI tools are now widely available, and many are free or low-cost. This makes it easier for more people to use AI, but it also means that the usual safety checks by governments — such as those done by central IT departments — can be skipped. As a result, the risks are spread out and harder to control. A recent EY survey discovered that 51% of public-sector employees use an AI tool on a daily basis. In the same survey, 59% of state and local government respondents indicated that their agency made a tool available, compared to 72% at the federal level. But adoption comes with its set of issues and doesn’t eliminate the use of “shadow AI,” even when authorized tools are available.
