TeleSign Helps Online Businesses Block Fraudsters This Holiday Season
TeleSign Guide Prepares Online Businesses for Black Friday Sales
(firmenpresse) - LOS ANGELES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/14/12 -- TeleSign, the market leader in Internet fraud prevention and Intelligent Authentication, delivers a best practices guide with tips for businesses and users to block fraudsters this holiday season. Online retailers expect even higher spikes in sales during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and experts believe there will be fraud losses of $3.4 billion by the end of the year. As the leader in online fraud detection, TeleSign is arming online businesses with the tools and knowledge needed to block the fraudsters and protect holiday shoppers.
In the TeleSign advises a three-pronged defense strategy:
Call center agents, especially those that authenticate riskier transactions (e.g., password resets) have to be trained to identify and stop social engineering techniques.
By requiring your users to provide a verifiable phone number at the time of account registration, call centers can later authenticate users for any risky transactions or account changes using the phone number on record.
Call center representatives can now identify the high-risk phone types (e.g., certain VoIP phone numbers) associated with the inbound calls, enabling them to flag or block questionable transactions. Although call centers still rely on challenge questions, they need to augment this method with two-factor authentication for high-risk transactions. Emerging technologies like caller ID spoofing detection are also showing promise in limiting call center fraud.
Along with these tips to protect businesses, TeleSign is advising end users about some common scams to look out for this year.
