ThreatMark Description
ThreatMark leads in the fight against fraud by deploying behavioral intelligence to help financial institutions protect their customers from scams and social engineering fraud.
ThreatMark detects attacks against the digital channel and defends against fraud before it happens. Other approaches to fraud detection are unable to do this. Not only does ThreatMark help our partners at financial institutions and fintechs combat fraud, it reduces false positives of existing fraud controls, lowers operational costs, and helps our partners from around the world retain customers and grow revenue.
Traditional, transaction-based, fraud controls look at history. Authentication mechanisms look at what a user knows and what a user has. Both of these approaches are ineffective in defending against scam and social engineering. In scams, fraudulent payments are fully authorized by the legitimate customer, using their legitimate user id and password, typical device, and typical location. ThreatMark’s Behavioral Intelligence solution augments an institution’s fraud defenses by using largely untapped data from digital channel behavior and user + device interactions to detect transactions performed under stress or the influence of a fraudster.
