Background

In this session, Matt Anthony, VP of Marketing at Pindrop Security, takes a deep-dive into the latest call center scams and the strategies needed to mitigate the fraud.

Call center data and logs can help banks predict account-takeover attempts across multiple banking channels. But because most banks fail to correlate call-center data with anomalous channel activity they can often miss predictive patterns.

Regardless of the banking channel fraudsters ultimately use to perpetrate their fraud or wage their account-takeover attack, the call center seems to play a role at some point along the way. Criminals typically exploit call centers by socially engineering staff members to provide critical account information that can later be used to take over accounts.

During this joint presentation, Anthony will leverage data gathered from 105 million calls to banking-institution call centers to address:

• How analyzing the characteristics of the call, rather than just the caller, can help predict fraud;
• Why voice-printing alone results in too many false positives for fraud; and
• Why institutions struggle to shore up their call-center defenses.
