Despite continuous warnings, corporate account takeovers occur regularly and companies, consumers and financial institutions lose millions of dollars every month. Fraudsters continue to develop and deploy more sophisticated, effective and malicious methods to gain access to business and consumer accounts. Add social networks and mobile access to the mix and it’s a formula that keeps risk managers up at night.
What can the Corporate Treasurer do to reduce risks to your Treasury Desktop? Arm yourself with practical knowledge to combat these threats.
This presentation will review the recommendations of NACHA’s Risk Management Advisory Group’s (RMAG) two recent documents:
• Sound Business Practices for Companies to Mitigate Corporate Account Takeover
• Sound Business Practices for Financial Institutions to Mitigate Corporate Account Takeover
We’ll review the Federal Financial Institution Examination Council’s (FFIEC) 2011 “Supplement to Authorization in an Internet Banking Environment” and the most recent best practices from other industry experts.
We’ll also discuss Remote Deposit Capture risk mitigation and early results from the November, 2011 “Cyber Attack against Payment Processing” exercise in which approximately 500 financial institutions participated with the Financial Services Information Sharing & Analysis Center.
