Mastercard's Claire Le Gal on Responding to the New 'Fraud Universe'
Claire Le Gal, Sr. VP, Fraud Intelligence, Strategy & Cyber Products, Mastercard

If we have learned anything from digital transformation, it's that fraud now comes in multiple forms across multiple vectors - simultaneously. And for financial services organizations to be able to spot and stop these schemes requires tearing down silos and building new partnerships like never before.

Claire Le Gal, a 26-year Mastercard veteran, shares exclusive insight on:

  • Emerging fraud trends - and why they are so challenging to detect
  • How we can make it harder for the fraudsters to succeed
  • Why fraud fusion centers are only the start of the cross-enterprise collaboration that needs to occur

Mike Timoney, Vice President - Secure Payments, Federal Reserve Bank of Boston

As banks, merchants and individuals continue to adopt faster payments, fraud is outpacing fraud prevention. How are patterns of fraudulent activity in faster payments different to traditional payment methods? How are the fraud actors collaborating within their fraud community? What are the technologies and controls we need to mitigate this criminality? 

This expert panel will share insights and strategies, including:

  • The faster payments fraud landscape;
  • The technologies and controls needed to mitigate this criminality;
  • How can we improve information sharing and collaboration efforts.

Your Own Worst Enemy: When Customers are a Part of the Fraud Transaction
JP Blaho, Product Marketing Leader, BioCatch

It is not difficult to be fooled. With constant changes to digital apps and a barrage of inbound communication, consumers are being challenged to determine the difference between legitimate business and fraudsters. Behavioral biometrics helps identify when genuine customer transactions are deliberate or accidental as well as legitimate or fraudulent.

In this session, we will share key insights from some of the more sophisticated forms of financial fraud with a focus on social engineering voice scams and money mules:

• Learn about key indicators of fraud for money mule transactions.
• Identify common practices being used to gain the trust of genuine customers.
• Listen to some common scenarios that challenge fraud defenses.

With a little bit of luck and a lot of persistence and sophistication, fraudsters are increasing their likelihood of getting genuine customers to make mistakes or even participate in fraudulent transactions. Incorporating behavioral biometrics can help protect your customers when they are unable to protect themselves.

What are the latest criminal schemes and what are the financial and telecoms industries doing to spot and stop the scale of the scams? 

This expert panel will share insights and strategies, including:

  • How the past two-plus COVID years have changed the face of fraud;
  • The evolution of unauthorised mobile porting, SIM swapping and account takeover fraud;
  • How the industry can adopt stronger authentication methods such as FIDO.

Account Takeovers and Synthetic Accounts: Why A Single Session Isn’t Enough to Combat Fraud
Greg Kruck, Security Architect, Google Cloud Security

As with all things related to cybersecurity and fraud, the race between adversaries and defenders to develop more effective attacks and more robust defenses continues in the realm of bots, automation and user account abuse. Traditional bot detection techniques that introduce or examine session-specific signals such as user agent analysis, traffic volume thresholds and visual CAPTCHAs were effective for a time, but recent increases in both account takeovers via credential stuffing and in synthetic account creation present challenges for defenders. This session describes the current state of bot defense, briefly defines the techniques and risks associated with account takeovers and synthetic accounts, and proposes a longitudinal approach to detecting account abuse and associated fraud.

Passwordless Authentication- a Positive or Negative Impact on Fraud?
David Pollino, Former CISO, PNC Bank
Jeremy Grant, Managing Director, Technology Business Strategy, Venable LLP

No other technology is more pervasive and hated by security and fraud professionals than the password. Passwords have proven to be the combination of poor security and even worse usability. Even well intentioned users find it hard to comply with various complexity and rotation requirements without reusing or writing down passwords. Apple, Google and Microsoft recently announced a commitment to support FIDO standards to enable passwordless sign-ins. Does this mean the end of passwords altogether? Will ordinary users understand and trust this new paradigm? How will criminals adapt? This panel will discuss the impact of passwordless authentication and highlight hidden pitfalls for users and organizations.
