DIEGO, Dec. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --
The Identity Theft Resource Center® (ITRC), a nationally
recognized nonprofit organization established to support victims of
identity crime, is pleased to announce the expansion of its
advisory board, the Alliance for Identity Resilience (AIR). One
year ago, the ITRC created the AIR Advisory Board to operate within
the framework of the ITRC's mission to empower individuals and
businesses through education, support and innovative
strategies.
"These new members will help us ensure that
the ITRC stays informed about the latest threats and defenses,
while actively participating in critical discussions about them,"
said Eva Velasquez, President and
CEO of the Identity Theft Resource Center.
The primary purpose of AIR is to advise the ITRC on matters
related to identity trends. The AIR Advisory Board is a
consultative body that fosters collaborative discussions, advances
thought leadership and advocacy, identifies emerging challenges and
opportunities, offers guidance on projects and initiatives,
facilitates industry collaboration, and proposes holistic solutions
to enhance identity protection and victim recovery services.
Since the appointment of seven executives across a variety of
disciplines, industries and sectors one year ago, the ITRC has
expanded the AIR Advisory Board in 2024 with the appointment of the
following members:
- Steve Craig, Founder & CEO
of PEAK IDV
- Payam Hojjat, Cybersecurity Risk
& Governance Chief for the State of
California and a Cybersecurity Professor at California State University
- Cisa Kurian, Principal Security
Advisor of Enterprise Information Security at CVS Health
- Adam Levin, consumer affairs
advocate and serial entrepreneur; host of the award-winning podcast
What the Hack
- Aaron Mendes, Co-Founder & CEO of PrivacyHawk
"I am happy to announce the expansion of our AIR Advisory Board
to include these new appointments," said Eva Velasquez, President and CEO of the Identity
Theft Resource Center. "These new members will help us ensure that
the ITRC stays informed about the latest threats and defenses,
while actively participating in critical discussions about them.
Over the past year, the AIR Advisory Board has played a significant
role in elevating the ITRC's ability to create desperately needed
services for victims. We look forward to building on this momentum
and expanding these efforts in 2025."
