Graham Cluley Security News is sponsored this week by the folks at VASCO. Thanks to the great team there for their support!

The 2017 Faces of Fraud Survey, conducted by iSMG, the world’s largest media organization devoted solely to information security and risk management, delivers revealing insights into the sector’s challenges in fraud practices and strategies, and underscores the growing vulnerability of mobile channels.

The 2017 Faces of Fraud Survey was commissioned by VASCO and compiled with responses from banking and security leaders representing financial institutions ranging from under $ 500 million to more than $ 20 billion in assets. Key findings include:

  • 52 percent say today’s fraud schemes are too sophisticated and evolve too quickly to keep pace
  • Only 38 percent have high confidence in their organization’s ability to detect and prevent fraud
  • Almost half identify technical barriers or controls not talking to one another as a top challenge to improving enterprise fraud
  • 41 percent do not want to add new anti-fraud controls that might negatively impact the customer experience
  • 35 percent say they are countering mobile exploits with multifactor authentication
  • Just 13 percent believe they are identifying fraud in real time
