Grow Your Organization’s Bottom-Line Through Dynamic Fraud Prevention | Reduce the cost of fraud with dynamic security solutions that don’t sacrifice user experience or operational efficiency.
New account fraud and account takeover are persistent problems for CIOs and CISOs because fraudsters are constantly evolving their tactics, requiring security teams to adapt rapidly while maintaining user-friendly experiences. The cost of fraud is high. The fear of data breaches and the potential financial and reputational damage they cause keep CIOs and CISOs awake at night, as does the pressure to balance stringent security measures with smooth customer experiences. CIOs and CISOs might cite budget constraints, legacy infrastructure complexities, and the potential for negative customer experience impacts as reasons for not fully achieving fraud prevention initiatives. This highlights the tension between security needs and organizational priorities.
Key Takeaways
At this session we will review how you can differentiate genuine users from potential fraudsters and prevent account takeover attempts while minimizing friction for legitimate users by:
+ Strengthen security during account creation by validating government-issued IDs and using liveness detection to verify user identities.
+ Analyze user behavior, device information, network signals, and more to detect anomalies.
+ Assign risk scores that trigger security measures when necessary.
+ Integrate with existing fraud prevention systems and security tools for a comprehensive approach to fraud detection and mitigation.
