The survey revealed that consumers now perceive fraud as an immediate threat, yet only about half (55%) are actively implementing measures to safeguard themselves.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the wake of COVID-19 ecommerce activity surged by $200 billion, according to McKinsey &amp; Company, creating an onslaught of new forms of fraud. Now more than ever companies need to rethink their fraud management strategies to better align with the evolving expectations of their customers. Alignment with customer expectations is especially crucial considering IDC\u2019s recent findings that the single greatest \u201ctrust-breaking\u201d event for an organization and its customers is the unauthorized release of personally identifiable information through a data breach.*&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fraudweek.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">International Fraud Awareness Week<\/a>, Nov 12-19, 2023, there is no better time for all organizations to join the global effort to minimize the impact of fraud by promoting anti-fraud awareness and education. Preventing fraud is not just the responsibility of management teams or the board of directors\u2014every employee, regardless of position, has a role to play, including looking for red flags and promptly reporting suspicious activity. Consumers too can protect their digital identities by adopting proactive measures such as educating themselves about the latest cybersecurity threats and safeguarding themselves against identity theft and unauthorized account access.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe 2023 Telesign Trust Index sheds light on the need for stronger security measures,\u201d said Kristi Melani, Telesign CMO &amp; Head of GTM Strategy. \u201cIt\u2019s crucial for businesses to understand the escalating nature of digital threats and to safeguard their customers. By taking the appropriate actions, businesses can foster greater trust while maintaining the integrity of online transactions.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consumers overwhelmingly agree (94%) that the companies they engage with online have a responsibility to protect their digital privacy. This belief tends to strengthen as respondents get older. Meanwhile, about half of the survey respondents said their worries about online fraud have grown in the past two years. But 43% of consumers surveyed indicated that they are either extremely or somewhat concerned that digital fraud is on the rise and 20% said they are not planning to invest in annual data protection services. It was only recent victims of fraud who were statistically more likely to have software that protects their data privacy. This highlights the need for businesses to take on a more prominent role in ensuring protection.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reality is that businesses face a delicate balancing act. Enhancing fraud controls is essential, but it must be done without compromising the end user experience. User friction, stemming from repeated customer inputs and verification challenges, poses a real threat to consumer conversion rates and overall user satisfaction.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s where Telesign\u2019s suite of Continuous Trust\u2122 solutions comes in.
