Unbelievable? They can not distinguish attacks from regular transactions! Research conducted by Kaspersky Lab και τη B2B International revealed that financial institutions (banks and various payment agencies) find it difficult to manage electronic financial fraud in the modern, complex and well-connected technological landscape that exists today. More than a third (38%) of organizations admit that it is increasingly difficult to distinguish between a genuine online transaction or a scam.
The explosive growth of electronic payments, coupled with new technological developments and the shifting of business needs, has forced companies to boost the efficiency of their business processes over the past few years. In many cases, this has been achieved by implementing e-flow systems to communicate and interact with suppliers, customers, etc.
Electronic payments of all kinds are now a global one, so it is absolutely impossible for modern businesses to completely avoid any kind of online transactions.
As companies are constantly investing in online transactions, by increasingly discovering the opportunities and opportunities for growth provided by the digital age, ensuring their seamless operation and protection from digital threats are vital priorities. With the number of online transactions growing steadily, so is the case with online fraud, as 50% of the surveyed financial companies highlights. It has therefore become clear that financial institutions must make every effort to protect businesses and customers from ever-evolving digital criminals.
According to the survey, 41% of businesses have implemented an "in-house" cybersecurity solution solution), while 45% rely on bank-provided third-party solutions to mitigate risks. However, only 46% of companies have either only partially implemented a solution against online financial fraud, or have implemented nothing at all. Among financial organizations, only 57% have already installed a dedicated security solution against online threats.
According to the above findings, about half of the organizations operating in the electronic payment landscape use non-specialized solutions, which, according to statistics, are considered unreliable, especially against cases of system fraud, as they present a very high percentage wrong results. Ineffective use of security systems can also lead to blocking of transactions. It is worth noting that payment discrepancy can lead to loss of customers and ultimately profits. So this is a very critical issue for any business. But the fraud itself is not the exclusive problem, as financial institutions should reduce the number of false alarms in their systems in order to provide their customers with the best possible service.
