Trends and strategies for protecting organizations and consumers.
Organizations potentially face substantial revenue losses and increased operational costs due to fraud. With significant levels of exposed consumer identities available to criminals, organizations need to shift their threat postures to assume consumer information is compromised. Those that build consumer trust by enhancing their omnichannel experiences with friction-right fraud detection and prevention capabilities stand to win.
