“Within the financial services space, it is very important to have the capability of identity proofing," Buzzard says. “We have to look at behavioral patterns and device biometrics. … There are many opportunities there to be able to identify if you are dealing with a true customer or a criminal.”

Ver Eecke adds: “Picking the right end-to-end authentication strategy is the key."

In this video interview with Information Security Media Group, the two experts also discuss:

  • The challenges involved in preventing P2P payment fraud;
  • Why credit unions are particularly vulnerable;
  • Technologies that can play a critical role in fighting fraud.
