Jason Costain of the Royal Bank of Scotland and Brett Beranek of Nuance Communications share a real world example of mitigating fraud with voice biometrics in a call center.
Cognitive and behavioral biometrics can play an important role in the fight against fraud. This session describes various models used for behavior pattern analysis and demonstrate how this may be integrated into a SOC to achieve a proactive posture.
It addresses:
Developing a risk framework with cognitive...
