Format: Online/Webinar
The financial services industry continues to play catch-up to fraudsters that are constantly seeking new ways of exploiting potential vulnerabilities in the defences of institutions leaving all stakeholders exposed. As the banking landscape undergoes strategic digital acceleration, the threat landscape has also evolved, making conventional approaches to detection and mitigation of fraud – particularly scams, simply inadequate. Understanding the nature of this new source of risk and formulating a response is needed.
Clearly, banks are hard pressed to respond to these challenges quickly and effectively as real-time fraud capabilities require tighter data integration and use of in-memory processing. Minimising false positives by profiling behaviours across each transaction points and deploying effective machine learning algorithms will be essential for financial institutions in optimising customer experience, while also empowering their risk control systems.
By having the capacity to maintain robust real-time fraud detection, banks can stay ahead of these malicious bad actors and ensure that both their customers and the institution itself remains insulated from these emerging sources of financial and operational risk.
In this exclusive webinar hosted by The Digital Banker, in partnership with SAS Institute, financial institutions will have the opportunity to identify industry best practices for safeguarding customers from potentially damaging fraudulent scams.

- Are there any emerging trends or new forms of fraud that people should be particularly cautious about?
