Your organization faces threats from outside and from within - corporate spies, foreign governments, common thieves, disgruntled employees, as well as terrorists or other violent actors. Some or all of them can put at risk your facilities, your people, and your information.

Social engineering testing is an effective - and often dramatic - means of demonstrating how your organization stands up to these threats. By putting your organization to the test in a real-time scenario, you can use social engineering testing to give your organization the information and training you need fix the weaknesses that leave you vulnerable. Social engineering combines both technical and non-technical tests to identify how aware your organization is and if the “mentality” of security is deep-rooted within your organization.

Join ERM for this webinar where we will explore specific threats and discuss how you can use both technical and non-technical social engineering testing to improve your organization’s security.

Fraud Threat Intelligence - Protecting Your Organization From Fraud

Date: Thursday, October 31, 2013

Time: 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM Eastern

Topic: Fraud Threat Intelligence - Protecting Your Organization From Fraud

CPE Credits: A certificate of completion will be provided upon request to those attendees that require the event to count for CPE credits.

When people consider fraud protection, very few think of watching their brand. Most fraud is considered to occur at the transaction level, and when dealing with financial loss this would true. But what if the gains were not tied directly to money? What if you can prevent fraud in the inception stages? What if you had a way to identify becoming a direct target?

We are not talking about the random malware attack, or the commodity Phishing that by chance captures some of your customers account credentials. We are talking about someone who has targeted your institution, your brand, or your customers and is using it for their personal advantage. This happens every day - you need to know what can be done about it. Fake websites, mobile applications, blogs, social media, and advertising can all be masked to insinuate associations and credibility with a brand name, image, or company profile. Being aware of these fake sites helps protect your customers from providing their credentials to harvesters, redirected to watering holes or black holes, stop attrition from redirecting traffic, and ensures a positive online sentiment for your branded items.

As part of a comprehensive, total fraud protection platform, you must engage fraud activity at multiple levels. Fraud Threat Intelligence is a tool used by many companies to help proactively identify, close, or remove the threats that risk brand reputation. Brand Threat Intelligence scrubs the internet for these malicious activities, while Special Operation Centers have dedicated analysts who visit underground forums, and hacker information sharing sites that sell data associated with brand related theft.

Join ERM for this webinar where our trusted partner, Easy Solutions, will show you how you can give yourself an advantage, take proactive steps to retain or remove this information from the internet, make yourself a harder target than the competition, and keep your brand, and more importantly your customers, safe and confident in using your brand online.
