Socure, the leading provider of digital identity verification and fraud solutions, today announced that Jordan Burris has joined Socure as senior director, product market strategy, public sector.

“I joined Socure to promote a more equitable and inclusive identity verification standard for the American public and transform the way public sector benefits and services are accessed and delivered”

Burris has spent more than a decade working to improve the digital trust of organizations and saw a big opportunity for Socure to address the challenges that government agencies face while eliminating taxpayer losses and drastically improving access for the public. As the trusted, proven identity verification and fraud platform for enterprises of all sizes, including four of the five largest banks and seven of the 10 largest credit card issuers, Burris was inspired by Socure’s broad identity coverage for diverse populations and its mission to verify 100% of identities in real time across every transaction on the Internet.

“I joined Socure to promote a more equitable and inclusive identity verification standard for the American public and transform the way public sector benefits and services are accessed and delivered,” said Burris. “Bringing the most accurate and inclusive identity verification and fraud detection platform in the market to the public sector is vital for supporting the government’s digital transformation, stopping fraud, and creating a safe and seamless experience for all.”

Prior to his role at Socure, Burris served at the intersection of policy and delivery as the Chief of Staff in the White House Office of the Federal Chief Information Officer. He was responsible for orchestrating the execution of technology and cybersecurity efforts across two Presidential administrations to include the oversight of the federal government’s $90B technology budget. Burris is a well-regarded strategist and thought leader behind the development of government-wide technology and cybersecurity policy, notably in the domain of identity, credential, and access management (ICAM). Before joining the government in 2017, Burris worked for Deloitte, helping both commercial and public sector clients improve their cybersecurity risk management practices.

As it did in other industries, the pandemic forced government benefits and services online, and outdated knowledge-based authentication (KBA) and heavy manual-review approaches created friction and delayed benefits and services for the public, especially among 18-to-25-year-old, new-to-country, underbanked, and thin-file individuals. With most state agencies still using these legacy approaches to identity verification, fraud also skyrocketed, resulting in more than $400B in unemployment identity fraud being reported last year.
