We review everything that is happening in the world of fraud. We manage and update your awareness program to reinforce your message of compassion and security expertise. Helping you to easily maintain content that is relevant now and in the ever-changing future.
Even with stronger technology controls, employees working from home must still exercise good judgment to maintain information security. The added stress many people feel can make them more prone to social-engineering attacks. Some employees may notice that their behavior isn't monitored as it is in the office and therefore choose to engage in practices that open them to other threats, such as visiting malicious websites that office networks block. Building a "human firewall" will help ensure that employees who work from home do their part to keep the enterprise secure.
Today, content needs to be reviewed and updated to reinforce your message of compassion and security. We help you publish new "evergreen content" that is relevant now and in the ever-changing future. Consistency is key as 60% of marketers create at least one piece of content each day.
Most consumers now believe that financial institutions are an authority capable of protecting them from fraud. Consumer awareness that is both in-person & online is critical to maintaining account holder satisfaction, fighting attrition, and gaining exposure to new prospects. As you continue to expand your brand experience across multiple channels, we offer an opportunity to optimize the customer / member experience.
As consumers quickly embrace the digital economy, your competitive landscape expands. Our service is built to last as you future-proof your foundation in this new world of ever-changing and agile strategic planning.
The use of identical or similar content across multiple channels is strategic repurposing that not only reduces the time and expense it takes to develop content, but also helps you reach a wider range of personas across all the channels you use.
The internet is inundated with notoriously unreliable information, and account holders may not know what information is reliable. You know the threats, but they may not. Increasing awareness is crucial.
Today's best practices include offering content with real value. Everything you share should offer a benefit to whomever is on the receiving end. Fraud awareness is an opportunity to serve others and to build true human connections. The more complex and challenging our world becomes, the more welcome it is to come across as a company who is genuinely interested in helping others.
A long-term impact of the Covid-19 pandemic will be changes in customer / member servicing preferences. Consumers are increasingly looking to run their financial life through apps and online banking. Fraud risks will increase as more people embrace convenience technologies such as P2P Payments and Mobile Apps, especially for late-adaptors and older generations of consumers.
As more people shift to virtual working, consuming, and socializing will fuel a massive shift to virtual activity for everything. It will affect ways of communicating in person as it relates to fraud support.
Helping consumers solve problems themselves. Enabling your account holders to access content without interruption is essential.

Content never becomes outdated while visitors stay on your site longer.

Our content is scannable in an easy to-do style format so your visitors don’t have to slog through a lot of copy to get answers. You keep our product on your site so that visitors won't need to navigate away, which often results in them leaving sooner than they would have otherwise. Helping people find things faster ultimately keeps them on your site longer too.

This would be helpful to create relevant member experiences, drive brand awareness, produce outreach campaigns and to position your financial institution as a thought leader.
The number one fear for almost every adult is financial security.
Financial security is threatened or eliminated when someone becomes a victim of any one of the hundreds of scams attacking people every day by email, social media, paper mail, telephone, mobile, and web. Preventing fraud through awareness and education presents a huge opportunity for marketing managers.

With so many people now working remote or being unemployed, data is suggesting that imposter fraud will surpass the 38% growth reported in 2019.
The reinvention of authority.
Today, most believe that only their financial institution can protect them from fraud scams and identity theft. In this new era of online fraud, consumers are more fearful than ever about their identity being stolen and used illegally, damaging their credit and their future ability to secure loans or perform other vital financial transactions. As a result, consumers are trusting their financial institutions to improve their defenses against fraudulent actors looking to steal, sell and use their PII. Preventing fraud through awareness and education is important for a financial institution's reputation and future success.

The Evergreen Hash™ is stored in the Trust Stamp Identity Lake and matched against all prior and future Evergreen Hashes™ to prevent duplicate identities (even those that pass KYC by using apparently valid identity documents). This process continues to catch fraudsters using the same face for multiple accounts, allowing financial institutions to give their account holders peace of mind that their accounts and identities are safe.
KYC & AML Compliance
To address the exponential growth in KYC/AML requirements, Trust Stamp empowers businesses with a completely automated transaction including our facial biometric tools and proprietary document OCR. Trust Stamp's multi-layer, automated, risk-based process speeds the process for both institutions and their account holders and provides audit trails, compliance reports and fuzzy logic to identify risky transactions and potential non-compliance.

Firewall Security:
IONOS by 1and1 - eFraud Prevention is hosted at IONOS by 1and1 on dedicated "bare-metal" server. We are the only 'tenant' on that server as it is not shared between other IONOS hosting customers. Unlike many servers in a data centers today, we are not being shared between multiple customers. All web traffic first enters the IONOS server facility before it enters our web server. Our Bare-metal Server account comes with a Firewall Policy center, which lets us control access to which ports are whitelisted on our dedicated web server. At the data center entry level, we block all traffic except for the 8 most commonly used server ports.
Cloudflare - Cloudflare Firewall software is managed within our "bare-metal" server as an additional layer of protection to filter HTTP requests. This allows gives us added security and control over which requests reach our server applications.
Product Integration:
We offer many ways to use or integrate our product. This includes iFrame, EMBED, JavaScript, RSS, PHP, and direct web link. Our service is also used by many clients as an internal "go-to" content hub for marketing content (articles, victim resources, images, videos, online quizzes, news, animations) employee training and customer / member support. This of course would pose no security concerns at all.
Common security concerns regarding the use of IFRAME integration:
Our most common integration method is the "iframe". The "iframe" method of integration is our most commonly used integration method. The iFrame is still the popular form of third-party web site integration and is used by firms such as Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and countless others.Security concerns regarding the iframe method include:
We monitor our web servers and server software 24/7 constantly and run third party scans. You can run your own pentest by using this domain:
