Detecting Mobile Malware Fraud Using Behaviour 2022 | UK Finance | 28 March 2022 | Online

The use of mobile devices has grown exponentially in the last decade with nearly 5.3 billion unique mobile phone users globally and more than 250 billion apps expected to be downloaded in 2022.

While banks, retailers and other consumer service providers look to meet their customers in this channel, cybercriminals have adapted their strategies to target mobile devices as well.

The widespread use of mobile devices for banking coupled with rising payment limits (as a result of the pandemic) means that mobile attacks are now causing fraud losses that are equal to or exceed that of the web channel.

Mobile malware has been thriving, targeting mobile devices to hijack the operating system or steal personal and financial information with the goal of committing fraud. In this session, BioCatch’s Threat Analyst EMEA, Kate Fox and Global Advisory EMEA, Iain Swaine, as well as Barclays' Director of Banking Fraud & Scams Strategy, Chris Johnson and Head of Digital Fraud Strategy, Tom Fox will explore the challenges and ways to prevent this type of attack.

By attending this webinar, delegates will learn how:
• Mobile attacks, especially malware, are growing globally and at a regional level.
• How behavioural biometrics can be used to detect mobile malware via anomalies.
• TeaBot is uncovered through a unique characteristic to stop Account Take Over Fraud (ATO).
• The future potential of behaviour for targeted malware detection and investigations.
