Why are risk management and fraud detection key for Digital Banking?
It's no news to say we live in an increasingly connected world, a trend not only pushed by the younger generations. As digital channels are multiplied and
mobile banking massively adopted, consumers expect to reach their bank, authenticate and manage their finances in a smooth way on any type of connected devices. Wherever they are.
Today, banks generally offer a good user experience when it comes to
fraud detection on IP Networked devices. But there's still a long journey to reach the same experience for mobile phones, and even worse when talking about Internet of Things, such as wearable devices and Smart TV.
In parallel, banks are facing a
dramatic increase in the number of cyberattacks, with more sophistication and complexity. Fraudsters and hackers constantly challenge the security measures put in place by banks to protect their customers' sensitive data.
According to the
McAfee lab quarterly threats report of March 2018, In Q4 of 2017,
McAfee Labs recorded on average eight new malware samples per second—an increase from four new samples per second in Q3.

Fraud strategies and authentication policies therefore need to adapt and be more automated to cope with increased number of connections, creativity of fraudsters and new regulations. Banks may want to use different vendors to better monitor each kind of risk and cyberattack, but solving all this is a pain and really time consuming.
A recent Gemalto survey showed that
44% of consumers would leave their bank in the event of a security breach, and 38% would switch to a competitor offering a better service.
All this illustrates the incremental difficulty for banks to stay ahead of the cyber-criminals while maintaining a smooth user experience.
This is exactly what Gemalto Assurance Hub brings to online banking thanks to a groundbreaking approach in fraud prevention.

Gemalto Assurance Hub (GAH) is an open hub that allows banks to assess every single online banking session in real-time. It comes with best-in-class solutions already pre-integrated to analyze a broad range of attributes and signals from the user and the device, such as geo-location, device profiling, IP address, device assessment and behavioral biometrics.
Even more new solutions will be integrated during 2018 to allow cybercrime threat detection, device profiling,
identity verification and fraud intelligence.
