Pindrop Security Highest Rated Contact Center Fraud Solution Provider By Largest Banks

ATLANTA, July 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Pindrop Security, the pioneer in phone fraud prevention and call center authentication for banks and enterprise call centers, was rated the highest in a recent survey of top financial institutions. The survey results were included in Aite Group's report titled "Look Who's Talking: Financial Institutions' Contact Centers Under Attack." An Aite Group senior analyst surveyed executives at 19 of the Top 40 U.S. financial institutions in areas including fraud prevention, contact center management, technology, risk management, and compliance.

"As financial institutions strengthen their online controls, fraudsters are increasingly attacking contact centers as the channel of least resistance," said Shirley Inscoe, senior analyst with Aite Group. "In fact, 79% of executives report that account takeover and social engineering represent the majority of their contact center fraud."

Aite Group is an independent research and advisory firm focused on business, technology, and regulatory issues and their impact on the financial services industry. Shirley Inscoe specializes in fraud, data security, anti-money laundering, and compliance issues. She has 30 years of banking experience in enterprise fraud and payments issues. The Aite report is believed to be the first survey of solutions available in the newly emerging market of contact center security solutions.
