Topic
Fighting Fraud in the Age of Mobility
As organizations in the United Arab Emirates move forward with offering innovative mobile solutions to an increasingly savvy and demanding mobile consumer base, the rising fraud risk in the mobile banking and financial landscape is a new reality that they need to understand and address.
BFSI organizations have the dilemma of providing a positive, frictionless experience to the consumer, and balancing this against the controls needed to effectively mitigate risk in a competitive, fast moving landscape. Anti-fraud controls such as behavioral biometric and multifactor authentication help, but a holistic, proactive, and layered approach to fraud detection and (near real-time) response, is the need of the hour.
What are some prominent fraud trends that GCC organizations are facing? What can you do to proactively detect and prevent fraud schemes? What is the compliance fallout of rushing towards mobile without planning effective controls? What is the impact to organizations from financial malware?
If you’re looking for answers to any of these questions, then please join Varun Haran for an exclusive roundtable that will draw from the experiences of the attendees, discussing mobile identity fraud with a handful of senior executives and market leaders in an informal, closed-door setting, from which you will emerge with new strategies and solutions you can immediately put to work. Discussion topics will cover:
- Dominant mobile fraud trends in GCC region
- Effective anti-fraud controls and strategies
- Compliance and regulatory challenges
Joining Varun to provide expert insight and case studies is Robert Rendell, global client success leader for IBM Security.
