Greetings!
By now, one is well aware that decision should be primarily driven by the strategic end objectives of the financial institution, whenever one is opting for a financial crime, security, risk & compliance management system.
However, one still needs to worry about the details: for example, one needs to analyze variety of security & fraud prevention methods that are available out there, so as to choose the best.
To help you in your decision making, our research department has come-up with an analysis document covering the transaction security [identity & phishing protection]. You could ask for this document by writing to Contact@ReadiMinds.com.
However, here is a brief overview of the document:
To start with, document identifies the key strategic objectives for transaction security. Some of them are:
- Transaction security should be transparent & absolutely hassle-free.
- It should be highly cost effective for financial institutions!
- It should be free to end-users.
- It should be easy to implement & manage.
- It should evolve as new challenges appear.
- System should be capable of growing and offering additional holistic "financial crime, security, risk & compliance management" solutions on the "same platform"!
Document then goes on to identify criteria for comparison of various 2FA methods. These are:
- Original 2FA cost
- Set-up cost
- Distribution cost
- Operational cost
- Replacement cost
- Scalability cost [cost of mass deployment]
- Whether need to carry any additional hardware
- Age of Technology
- Legal implications of method used
- Market share [is it growing or declining]
- Customer hassle caused, and
- Key issues of the method.
Based on the above, document goes on to compare following 2FA methods: Hardware token, Software Token, SMS OTP, Card Grid, Transparent Grid, and ReadiMinds Software 2FA.
Research indicates most of the 2FA methods are losing market share to "client device identification" technology - the fastest growing 2FA technology - the same method that is being used by ReadiMinds' Software 2FA. Many progressive financial institutions around the world, including Wachovia Bank and Wells Fargo use this method.
Document goes on to explore if the system can provide "integrated" phishing protection on the "same platform".
It also goes on to analyze if the "same system" can support additional layers for cross-channel fraud prevention on the "same platform".
