E-commerce companies are those that are less focused on the protection of economic activities. 16% of industry firms say they are not interested in installing dedicated e-fraud security solutions, and once 38% is willing to invest in such tools
In total, 30% of businesses that work with online cash flows do not provide and do not plan to provide protection to customers' devices during transactions, even though this is the weakest point in the security chain, with possible consequences for the loss of money for customers, but also the blow to the profits and reputation of the company itself. 28% of businesses are not interested in installing anti-fraud software on their customers' mobile devices, while 30% of businesses do not try to protect their own IT infrastructure from potential online fraud.
This frightening attitude towards the protection of payments can lead to negative comments from customers. According to the survey, users' three-quarters (3 / 4) are expecting financial companies to take responsibility for keeping their handsets.

"Now, in everyday life, it's not so likely to see criminals robbing banks, storming into them, shouting 'Robbery!' and shooting into the air. More and more crimes are "moving" into the digital world. Online criminals are targeting banks by going after the least protected links in the chain, i.e. customers' devices and the transactions made with them. To protect their customers and funds – and consequently their corporate reputation – financial institutions should use comprehensive and multi-layered solutions, οι οποίες αντιμετωπίζουν προληπτικά την απάτη, ώστε να μεγιστοποιηθεί η αποτελεσματικότητα και να βελτιστοποιηθεί η εμπειρία του χρήστη. Η αξιοποίηση μιας ενιαίας πλατφόρμας που προστατεύει και την τερματική device of the customer and the bank's environment, provides targeted and comprehensive prevention where other solutions fail," said Ross Hogan, Global Head of the Fraud Prevention Division at Kaspersky Lab.
For example, the platform Kaspersky Fraud Prevention is specifically designed for banks, payment systems and e-commerce companies. By exploiting server protection solutions of a financial institution, it ensures the transactions on the part of the company. It also offers applications installed on user devices and provide a secure environment for electronic payments. The implementation of this multi-functional solution makes it possible to protect at every stage of a transaction, while additional Kaspersky Fraud Prevention services alert bank security services to any new threats and help to build trustworthy security policies.
