Session 1: Panel: Let's Talk Strategy: Breaking Down Siloes Between Fraud and Cyber

How much do cyber and fraud teams collaborate? In many cases, cyber teams usually have broad influence over customer security practices, but don't always involve fraud professionals. Fraud prevention decisions are often made by the product and fraud prevention teams yet rarely involves input from cyber teams. So how do we break down these siloes? Join this panel of experts who will highlight the common ground issues that can bring fraud cyber teams together. Topics covered will include behavioral biometrics, tech scams, customer susceptibility, protection of PII, and best practices for increasing collaboration.

Session 3: Fraud’s Shift from ATOs to Scams

Online fraud targeting financial account holders has shifted from account take-over to scams.

In this session, participants will get an overview of best practices to mitigate and control customer losses due to scams, with a focus on detection, treatment, and case management of payments that are at risk of being a scam.
