Field of Study: Specialized Knowledge
Fraudsters are exploiting digital identities at increasing rates through data breaches, the proliferation of synthetic identities and the increase of digital products. Fraud rings adapt their techniques and targets to maximize their returns as we improve our controls. They have migrated from primary financial products (e.g., credit card), to secondary financial products (e.g., HSA), and are expanding into other sectors (e.g., mobile devices).
In this panel you will hear fraud risk managers in the financial services and other sectors talk about risks related to identity and account takeover, emerging trends, risk drivers, identity verification techniques, authentication methods, and anomaly detection analytics that are being used to mitigate these risks.
You Will Learn How To:
- Assess emerging risks facing the financial and related sectors
- Review the evolution of fraud rings and their tactics
- Identify prevention and detection techniques to combat emerging risks
