- Presentation Title: Collaborative awareness programmes as an effective countermeasure against the latest threats to identity documents
-
Presentation 2-Line Description:
This presentation will focus on the latest threats against the UK passport and on the importance of training and partnerships with identity document manufacturers in empowering border officials, amongst other tactics, to confidently identify fake documents. We will argue that reliance on technology is not a good thing. Whilst we must advance, it is undeniable that something as simple as a high-quality cylinder mould watermark remains an effective countermeasure.
