He says financial institutions need to create a full digital profile of their customers in order to identify crime and provide risk-based defense because, "Quality data leads to quality decisions."
Subrt says, "Identity is becoming much more than your name," and financial institutions need to consider device, geolocation, email address and other elements to create a holistic picture of the customer. "Consumers want their financial institutions to protect them," he says.
In a video interview with Information Security Media Group, Subrt discusses:
- How digital acceleration has changed the landscape for fraudsters and defenders;
- How data analytics can help in fighting financial crime threats;
- Key recommendations on how best to leverage data intelligence to combat financial crime.
