The State of Chargebacks: 2018 Report, brought to you by Kount and Chargebacks911, is intended to provide an overview of the health and status of chargeback management in the Card Not Present (CNP) payments space. It includes key facts and figures about chargebacks, dispute and win rates. In addition, participating organizations shared insights about the tools, services, and solutions they employ for fraud detection and chargeback management, as well as the greatest challenges they face.

From the report, “The 2018 Mobile Payments and Fraud Survey marks the sixth consecutive year of this study. This year’s report, with nearly 600 merchant respondents, is focused on understanding the growth, challenges and developments in the mobile channel. The report also set out to provide a better understanding of how the mobile market has evolved since the inaugural survey report in 2013.”

The Fraud Prevention Industry Benchmarks Survey was focused specifically on merchants doing business in the Card or Customer Not Present (CNP) channel. This study was designed to gain insights and information for comparison of key performance indicators (KPIs) such as manual review rates, chargeback rates, false positive rates and other metrics across different types of merchants, while the analysis report is intended to serve as an industry resource and point-of-reference for organizations looking to benchmark and compare the performance of their fraud prevention strategy against others in their vertical.

From the report, “For security teams, the sheer depth and breadth of what they need to defend may seem daunting, but thinking about the Internet from an attacker’s perspective —a collection of digital assets that are discoverable by hackers as they research their next campaigns— can put the massive scope of their organization’s attack surface into perspective. In this report, we’ll highlight five areas that we feel help to better frame the challenges faced in keeping the Internet a safe environment, all of which underline a need to broaden awareness of the potential risks involved to foster a more informed approach to cyber defense.”

Long gone are the simple days of malware threats only being associated with the computers on our desks or at our business offices. Today, we’ve all become accustomed to malware infiltrating our homes and pockets across a variety of platforms, be that our telephones, tablets, smart TV or even ‘connected’ devices such as our fridges. Whilst malware can be tailored for different platforms and differ in their abilities or functionality, the overall taxonomy remains very much the same. Back in the ‘halcyon’ days many malware authors released their wares for fun, ‘lulz’ in modern parlance, today most are criminally motivated and driven by financial gain, ideology, revenge and nation state doctrine. The objective of these attacks, and the compromised devices or networks, are typically similar and result in the threat actor gaining access, leading to the theft of confidential and personal information, or disrupting the operations and functionality.

Consumers rely on their mobile devices on an ever‐growing basis to keep them connected. Smartphones and tablets provide them with access to each other through email, messaging, and social media while also putting financial services and shopping in the palm of their hands. And each and every one of these activities holds value for criminals in search of account credentials and personally identifiable information (PII) to sell or misuse. Unfortunately, for all of the potential that mobile devices represent, the apathy of every mobile stakeholder is undermining the security of mobile devices and the accounts of their users. Protecting Android, iOS, and Windows mobile device users from fraud will require a concerted effort by all stakeholders to eliminate vulnerabilities, encourage security‐minded behaviors, and to leverage all the security benefits that mobile devices have to offer.

Digital businesses must manage, govern, and secure customers’ access to systems without hurting the customer experience. As firms increase the digital channels for customer interaction, they also increase the number of potentially confusing consumer authentication experiences. As a result, they’re hemorrhaging customers and suffering increased support costs related to password and authentication. This report outlines 10 barriers to authentication success — and how S&R pros can improve online security without sacrificing experience.

To better understand the mindset and priorities of those who make security decisions for mobile devices in the workplace, Ping Identity conducted a mobility survey in partnership with Gatepoint Research.
