Balancing Security and Convenience to Beat Fraud

A Secure Software-based Authentication Solution is a Must


How can organisations enable genuine users to transact easily, and stop fraudsters from doing things they shouldn’t be allowed to? It’s a question has been taxing the minds of the brightest security specialists for the last 30 years, and with identity theft, data breaches and fraud at an all-time high, the question has never been more relevant to financial institutions.

It’s never been more difficult to answer either. Consumers interact with their banks anywhere in the world through many different and fragmented channels, ranging from the bank website, an ATM machine, and an in-store chip and PIN transaction, to online shopping, the phone, or—just occasionally—at a bank branch.

Securing transactions is made all the more difficult by the consumerisation of IT: sit on any bus or train and you’ll find most passengers busy with their iPad or Android phone, checking their bank statements, buying flight tickets, or booking theatre tickets.
