Course Overview

Are you concerned about fraud risks and want to learn more about the latest fraud trends? Look no further than our Five-Course Series on Fraud Trends for the Future. The series focuses on the evolving tactics used by fraudsters and how to mitigate the risks associated with them. The initial segment of this series will focus on fraud trends that have been identified for 2023 and beyond. Broadly, these trends include:

  • Automation
  • Account Takeover
  • Balancing fraud and consumer Friction
  • Rise of synthetic identities
  • Targeted attacks
  • Strong need for real-time assessment, and multi-layered fraud assessment

In the first three CPE courses of our Fraud Trends for the Future series, we have covered automation and machine learning fraud, account takeover, and digital payments. These courses have provided a comprehensive overview of the different types of financial crimes and the latest trends and techniques for preventing them.

Our fourth course focuses on synthetic identity fraud, which is a financial crime that involves the creation of fake identities using a combination of real and fake personal information. This type of fraud is challenging to detect because the fraudsters use a blend of real and false information. By the end of this Information Technology course, you will have a comprehensive understanding of synthetic identity fraud.
