From the report, “Widespread data breaches, the EMV migration, and efforts to extend the longevity of the SSN, have created an ideal environment in which synthetic identity fraud is flourishing. Furthermore, consumers’ physical and digital footprints are becoming more complicated, meandering across locations, devices, and geographies. This makes it more difficult than ever to differentiate legitimate user behavior from fraudsters. Businesses need to prevent synthetic identities from entering their ecosystems by understanding anomalies to individual user behavior and helping to correlate the seemingly disconnected events and security incidents in real time. Combining historical and real-time data and leveraging machine learning to analyze individual behavior across channels can reveal complex patterns to help detect and block synthetic identities without causing friction for real customers.”

APAC continues to be an exciting region of huge growth, evolution and change; increasing its vulnerability to organized, global cyber attacks. This is particularly true given APAC has a particularly strong cross-border footprint, with a high proportion of digital transactions criss-crossing country boundaries. Cross-border transactions are considered riskier by most organizations, driven by the fact that they are far more likely to be automated bot attacks than domestic transactions, and attract higher instances of location spoofing, as fraudsters attempt to hide behind VPNs and proxies to mask their true location.

From the report, “IT security leaders know their companies’ endpoints, PCs, and servers are continuously targeted by hackers. They also agree following best practices in endpoint security hygiene is instrumental in reducing cyber incidents. However, our 2017 survey of IT security leaders points to a situation where most are concerned about their actual practices in endpoint security hygiene. Fortunately, most also acknowledge they need to improve. When it comes to identifying their top priorities, IT security leaders are clear: they want to reduce the frequency and severity of data breaches; streamline regulatory compliance; and maintain business continuity. When it comes to identifying and executing upon the security hygiene best practices required to deliver on these priorities, things begin to get murky. Our 2017 survey of IT security leaders reveals a situation in which most respondents express concern about their security hygiene practices and waning confidence in the ability of existing tools to help them improve. Read on for more about what we learned, plus five recommended action items you can take today to address these issues.”
