The crooks are getting smarter. Quite a few understand the banking system and the Internet better than we do. They know the ins and outs and where it is weak. And, they do their research. Many professionals think payment fraud could never happen to their organizations. Unfortunately, the numbers tell a different story. Eventually, every single organization will come into the spotlight of one or more crooks. Without the proper precautions, the fraudsters will succeed. Complicating the issue is the fact that whether we like to admit it or not, the risk is both internal and external.

Alas, the rules continually change as crooks adjust to the fraud protections developed by the business community and find new ways to get their hands on your money. Has your organization taken all the steps it needs to protect itself? Has your strategy been reviewed within the last 12 months? In this session, we’ll address the newest electronic frauds and the protections every organization needs along with reviewing the tactics needed to protect against older types of fraud.
