In late April of 2015, Aerstone will be presenting a presentation at CS Week in Charlotte, NC on the FTC Red Flags Rule, and its applicability to the Utility industry. This rule requires companies under FTC jurisdiction, including financial institutions and certain creditor organizations, to develop an identity theft prevention program. Affected organizations must put early warning systems in place to detect the potential patterns, practices, or specific activities indicating the possibility of identity theft. Aerstone’s presentation, presented in conjunction with AAC Utility Partners and Bryan Texas Utilities, will help arm utility companies with the information they need to define the Red Flags that make sense for their organization — including credit agency alerts, suspicious documents, PII discrepancies, and suspicious account activity.
