On September 15, the Two Will Delve Into iovation-Powered eID Device Check From Equifax and the Shifting Fraud Landscape
PORTLAND, OR and TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - Aug 30, 2016) - iovation,
the provider of device intelligence for authentication and fraud prevention, today announced it is jointly hosting a webinar with
Equifax (NYSE: EFX) Canada, the consumer and business insights expert. The "Preventing
Online Fraud with Identity Insights & Device Intelligence" webinar will share insights into the latest fraud trends and will
delve into details about eID Device Check, the iovation-powered Equifax device verifier service that recently launched in Canada.
iovation's Eddie Glenn, product marketing manager, and Equifax Canada's Amrita Johnson, global product manager for fraud and
identity management, will lead the webinar on Sept. 15 at 10am PDT.
"Since late 2010, Canada has witnessed a 133 percent increase in fraudulent transactions where a credit card is not physically
presented to a merchant," said Glenn. "This shift to online fraud means that it's increasingly important for businesses to
leverage identity insights and device intelligence to mitigate risks."
In the webinar, Glenn and Johnson will demonstrate ways to help prevent
fraud with Equifax's eID Device Check by monitoring for real-time risk indicators -- such as device anomalies, excessive
repeated use of the same device, and evasion techniques attempting to conceal the nature of the device or its location. They will
also share insights into recent shifts in the fraud landscape that are affecting online Canadian businesses today.
"Consumers are increasingly using their devices for their online purchases and transactions, making insights into them
extremely valuable for fraud prevention," said Johnson. "In fact, with proper insights, businesses can flag any previous
suspicious behaviour linked to a particular device to help stop future fraudulent transactions before they are completed."
Equifax's iovation-powered eID Device Check service helps businesses protect themselves against online fraud. It checks to see
if there is any history of fraudulent activity linked to a specific device or group of devices using iovation's Global Device
Intelligence Platform. Currently, the iovation service analyzes the reputations of more than 3 billion devices and 30 million
verified fraud reports to identify risky transactions. eID Device Check is part of Equifax Canada's suite of identity and fraud
products that are designed to improve the customer's journey while reducing the risk of fraud and meeting regulatory
requirements.
