Live Wire 2025: What real estate leaders need to know about scaling security

At our recent Live Wire 2025 conference, industry experts came together to discuss the evolving landscape of real estate security and the critical need for scalable solutions.

The Industrialization of Fraud

Fraud is no longer just the work of individuals; it's a global, industrialized business. Scammers are using advanced AI and automation to scale their attacks, making it harder than ever for title companies and real estate professionals to stay ahead. The message from Live Wire was clear: we must meet scale with scale.

Key Takeaways for 2026

• Automation is Mandatory: Manual processes are too slow and error-prone to stop modern fraud. Automated identity verification and transaction monitoring are essential.
• The "One Gap" Challenge: Commit to closing at least one major security gap in your organization every 30 days. Whether it's updating software, implementing MFA, or refining backups, consistent progress is key.
• Branding Security: Security is no longer a backend function; it's a competitive advantage. Leaders who brand themselves as "safer closings" will win the trust of consumers in a digital-first world.

Collaborative Defense

The most powerful tool we have against wire fraud is collaboration. By sharing data and best practices across the industry, we can create a defensive network that is stronger than any single company. CertifID's integration with major title software platforms is just the beginning of this collaborative future.
