Financial services sites attract sophisticated hackers. You need layered security to eliminate hijacked accounts and targeted malware.
Financial service firms are prized targets for sophisticated criminals. The challenge is offering customers increased convenience without opening the door to additional criminal activity. Financial services firms must adopt a layered approach to fraud prevention that does not degrade the online experience for the customer.
