Statement from Socure Head of Public Sector Jordan Burris on the Trump Administration’s Cyber Strategy for America and Executive Order on Cybercrime and Fraud

The Administration’s new Cyber Strategy and executive order on cybercrime and fraud are presented as meaningful steps toward treating cyber-enabled fraud as both a financial-crime and national-security issue through interagency coordination, operational capabilities, and public-private collaboration. The author argues, however, that these efforts lack a cohesive national digital identity strategy, which they consider essential because identity impersonation underlies account takeovers, benefits fraud, synthetic identities, and scams. Building on a November 2024 blueprint, the author calls for executive-level leadership, cross-sector alignment, and measurable accountability to shift away from a “pay-and-chase” approach that addresses fraud only after losses occur. The proposed next phase would treat digital identity as critical infrastructure across government and major industries, helping counter organized fraud networks that exploit fragmented systems and enabling transparent measurement of fraud-reduction outcomes.
