Consumer Confidence

Give consumers more confidence to transact online and reduce concerns about identity theft with a layered security approach to online security.

Challenge: Balancing Convenience with Protection

Consumers continue to create accounts with just a username and password, doing more of their personal and professional business online. They want the convenience and privacy of online interactions for banking, shopping, entertainment and medical care, and they expect providers of these services to protect their online transactions. To retain consumer confidence and loyalty, businesses must provide a convenient, easy-to-use way for consumers to protect their online identities.

Solution: Layered Security Approach

Most security technologies address just one layer of business assets, leaving weak points in other layers vulnerable to attack. The layered approach to security uses a cumulative effect to offer better protection for a safer online experience.

• Site authentication helps consumers verify that they are on your Web site, not an imposter or phishing site.
• Risk-based authentication learns how each user behaves and requires additional authentication when a fraud risk is detected.
• Two-Factor Authentication combines something you know (a username and password) with something you have (a credential with a one-time password).
• Timely threat intelligence helps provide early warning of attacks, for fast response, without disrupting legitimate transactions.
