PORTLAND, OR--(Marketwired - Sep 4, 2014) - iovation, the trusted source for mobile and online fraud prevention to safeguard businesses, will offer device-based strategies to stop fraud at Merchant Risk Council's MRC Roadshow. Philippe Mazurier, iovation's Director of Business Development for Southern Europe, will discuss cybercrime prevention techniques on the panel "Known Fraud Threats and Tools." Orcun Akca, Head of Global Payments & Revenue Protection at eDreams ODIEGO, will join Mazurier on the panel which will take place on September 5 at 11:30 a.m. EEST at the Hilton Istanbul Bosphorus hotel in Istanbul, Turkey.
"Account takeover fraud is an ever-present threat that businesses must combat," said Mazurier. "The aftermath of a compromised account isn't good for your business or your customer. iovation tracks first-time devices, repeat devices, account tampering behaviors, and account takeover events -- all in real-time. Most importantly we do all that without requiring personally identifiable information."
iovation has protected tens of thousands of transactions originating from Turkey this year for retail, financial services, social community and gaming clients. Interestingly iovation found that the most popular end-user device type used in Turkey is Microsoft Windows, followed by Android and then iOS running on iPhones. The company recently released a mobile report with data on operating systems by continent that can be accessed online.
"iovation has a community of fraud professionals from around the world," said Mazurier. "The subscribers to our service share their experience of customers who commit fraud or other high risk behavior, relative to their devices and accounts. This shared intelligence is an important component in the fight against cybercrime."
