SAN 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.
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."
