2012 Faces of Fraud: First Look
How Institutions Prioritize Anti-Fraud ResourcesTubin is responding to the results of the 2012 Faces of Fraud survey. One of the key findings: 58% of respondents expect extra anti-fraud resources this year. So, what's behind the increase, and where will it be invested?
One factor is the FFIEC Authentication Guidance, which is influencing institutions' spending on fraud monitoring, customer awareness and other initiatives. But Matthew Speare, SVP of IT at M&T Bank, says another factor to consider is the economy.
"Many financial institutions, when we entered into the economic issues of 2008, did a lot of expense reduction, and so this could be some 'playing catch-up,'" Speare says. "You can only defer certain types of solutions for so long."
In an exclusive excerpt from the 2012 Faces of Fraud Survey webinar, banking/security experts Matthew Speare and George Tubin weigh in on:
- The Global Payments data breach and how it directly impacts banking institutions;
- Factors behind the sudden increase in anti-fraud resources;
