Background

Internet fraud continues to be big business, and financial institutions are at the epicenter of the most prolific attacks. Despite heavy regulations ranging from PCI-DSS to FFIEC Guidelines, we continue to read about companies that suffer theft of customer data resulting in millions of dollars of losses each year.

According to Verizon's 2013 Data Breach Investigations Report, one of the biggest areas of vulnerability continues to be around authentication. Specifically, authentication-based attacks, which are now the predominant way hackers attack networks.

So what do you need to know to combat these threats and ensure you are actively protecting your customers, and your company's assets? M&T Bank continues to lead the industry from both a process, and a solution perspective. Matt Speare will share detailed insights on:

  • The current state of the threat landscape facing financial institutions
  • Customer authentication in an increasingly omnichannel environment
  • What you can do to defend your institution against attacks
