PORTLAND, OR — (Marketwired) — 05/02/13 — , protecting business across the globe from Internet fraud and identifying good online customers with its , today announced that it has been invited to present in early May at two events hosted by technology partner and global information services company Experian. At the events, iovation and Experian will jointly detail how businesses can layer device reputation alongside traditional identity authentication and risk assessments to further protect themselves and their customers from fraud while reducing friction to the online customer experience.
Max Anhoury, iovation-s Vice President of Global Sales, will first present to Experian customers at the conference in Carlsbad, California. In the breakout session titled “Click Here for More Customers — Fraud Prevention and Customer Retention in Your Growing Online and Mobile Channels,” Anhoury will explain how businesses can utilize shared device intelligence for increased fraud catch, while concurrently streamlining the online customer experience. Joining him in the session on May 6, 2013, at 4:15pm PDT will be Experian product experts Matt Ehrlich, Director of Product Management – Fraud and Identity Solutions, and Sanjay Kwatra, Lead Product Manager, Platform Initiatives for Credit & Identity Protection Products, Experian Consumer Services.
“While businesses take every precaution to protect against fraud, these prevention methods often create friction and slow down customers as they try to complete transactions,” said Anhoury. “By analyzing a consumer-s online activity from their collective devices, businesses are able to get a better idea of who has been associated with fraud in the past, both at an individual level and in the context of larger fraud rings. Acting on this knowledge leads to a significant reduction in fraud, while allowing businesses to process a good customer-s transactions more quickly and more securely.”
