Fraud prevention and cybersecurity teams are typically siloed, separate groups reporting to different organizational heads. “Frenemies” at best, despite the fact they face common threats, tools and exploits. Some organizations, however – particularly those with large external customer bases – are finding great success in converging these two teams. In this intermediate / advanced session, hear how fraud-stopping insights are being leveraged by cybersecurity teams to create more proactive and intelligent systems, while fraud teams gain better organizational visibility (and better funding). All without getting in the way of customer experience.

Imagine if your in-store security officer asked every shopper to confirm their mother’s maiden name before allowing them through the doors. While physical retailers would never allow this to happen - call centers don’t match the in-store and online shopping experience. Current identity and verification processes such as Knowledge Based Authentication (KBA) questions in your call center fail to make rich customer experiences synonymous with security. See how retailers can evolve their call center by leveraging passive biometric technology for authentication and fraud detection so you can stop treating every customer like a criminal.

Sometimes when managing fraud we spend so much energy focusing on individual users or transactions, we can't see the forest for the trees. See how Uber has adapted a graphing technology to provide more holistic and high-level information about a users platform interactions to identify groups of users engaged in collusion fraud. A demonstration will be given of how using a graph tool can dramatically improve an investigators ability to identify suspicious groups and isolate bad actors for actioning.

It used to be a "simpler" decision, one based on easier to quantify impacts like acquiring costs and tax withholding regulations. However data has proven that the answer is not black and white, and that in some cases a hybrid option may just be the best option.

When does it make sense to hire a team and build an in-house risk engine, or can external vendors, tools, operations and software prove just as tailored and intuitive? How does a layered fraud approach function seamlessly and effectively? Learn from experts in fraud that helped build abuse teams at Square, Google and Facebook.

As more and more data breaches hit the news, account takeover is a growing threat for online merchants. Even if fraudsters don’t get clear-text usernames – emails, passwords, other sensitive information can potentially be used for social engineering or other exploits. When it comes to account takeover, online merchants face the added challenge of recognizing a fraudster masquerading as a valued and trusted customer. Learn what geolocation and other transactional data can do to help you understand the context of an account takeover in order to identify suspicious activity and make better decisions while providing your good customers with the best experience possible.

False positives for fraudulent transactions cost companies more than the actual impact of fraud, and prevent good users from coming back. What can you do to better identify these users, enable them to complete their transaction, and keep them coming back? We will take a look at user challenges in session and fix flows out of session as a way to salvage good users while keeping out fraud.

Organized crime rings are leveraging bot armies for brute force password-cracking attacks. These scripted attacks are tough to detect, and standalone fraud prevention systems don’t detect the data that – in concert – reveal when an attack is underway. Adding further authentication friction isn’t a viable answer. Learn specific steps to help your organization eliminate account takeovers. JOIN us to hear what TicketMaster and NuData Security have learned about stopping ATO especially now when static data is deemed worthless and retailers are seeing walls nearly 50% of all traffic coming from account takeover and automation activity.

For any Merchant with customers in Europe, May 2018 is the month of change for payments and data protection, with the introduction of the PSD2 directive and the GDPR. Customers will have more control, empowering them to select what personal data they would like to share. GDPR gives merchants an opportunity to educate customers about how sharing their personal data can work for them.
