ISMG Announces 2014 Faces of Fraud Survey Results Report

Information Security Media Group (ISMG), publisher of BankInfoSecurity, announces the release of the 2014 Faces of Fraud survey report, sponsored by Easy Solutions, the Total Fraud Protection company.

In the wake of retail breaches at companies like Target and Neiman Marcus, banking/security leaders clearly feel abused and frustrated - and they want to see changes in how merchants conduct and process secure payments. This is the key theme of the 2014 Faces of Fraud Survey: The Impact of Retail Breaches.

Seventy percent of respondents to the survey say they or their customers were impacted by the Target breach, while 25 percent felt effects from Sally Beauty, and 24 percent from Neiman Marcus. And 48 percent believe the breached merchants ultimately should be held responsible for the compromises, while 28 percent say it's a shared blame because of the flawed payments system.

Of course, retail breaches are not the only topic covered by the Faces of Fraud Survey. The survey report, sponsored by Easy Solutions, addresses the extent of damage caused by retail breaches, with emphasis on:

  • Impact of Retail Breaches - How have institutions been struck by Target, other major retail breaches? How will they respond?
  • 2014 Faces of Fraud - What are the primary types of fraud against banking institutions, and where are the biggest security gaps?
  • Deeper Dive - How have specific forms such as account takeover and insider fraud advanced in the past year?
  • 2015 Fraud Agenda - Where will institutions make their biggest anti-fraud investments in the year ahead?

The 2014 study also benchmarks the most common fraud schemes, including payment cards, checks and phishing; the ongoing impact of account takeover resulting from ACH/wire fraud; the detection and prevention of insider crimes; and whether institutions see significant fraud reductions resulting from new investments in employee and customer education.

"The threat landscape is becoming increasingly sophisticated and the results of the Faces of Fraud Survey indicate that businesses across all sectors and geographies must take a proactive stance at fighting fraud," says Easy Solutions CEO Ricardo Villadiego. "Industry analysts and leaders agree that a multi-layered, integrated approach can dramatically reduce the risk of fraud while improving their customers' experience."
