DIGITAL IDENTITY VERIFICATION MONTH: Fighting account takeover and first-party fraud in online retail
For retail teams attending Fraud Prevention Summit, fraud is increasingly defined by two high-impact vectors: account takeover (ATO) and first-party fraud.

Traditional controls at checkout alone are no longer sufficient. The most effective […]
