Various Forms of Supply Chain and Enterprise Fraud Expected to Increase in UK and Europe in 2013

January 2, 2013
UKFraud

Fraud hotspots most likely to be affected in 2013 include: banks and card companies, insurers, online merchants, retailers and government be it HMRC, the universal credit scheme or local authorities.

The types of fraud likely to see the biggest growth will be CNP (Card Not Present) card fraud, other forms of cyber-crime, internal fraud, and supply chain fraud. Procurement fraud is also set to rise significantly. In contracting economies, evidence suggests that people inside this function can be put under pressure to defraud.

Mortgage fraud is also set to surge in 2013, with credit rating experts pointing the finger at further rises in first-party fraud - i.e., where people misrepresent their finances whilst applying for mortgages. Once again the economic climate is a significant contributor in this.

Recent spectacular mass data breaches and suspicion of cloud security in some areas will continue. An increasingly greater emphasis will be placed upon PCI DSS and other data security and integrity issues. Already, the daily number of automated attacks on bank and retailer systems runs into the millions, which means that we will continue to see major high-profile data breaches both reported and otherwise.

Solutions will be based around systems for acquirers, online merchants and PSPs, who are regularly the victims of CNP fraud - where fraud is growing fast in line with the growth in internet-based payments. Increasingly, solutions will move to better and newer generations of screening, scoring and risk-based monitoring, such as those built upon Bayesian-based fraud detection systems. These will start to pose a real challenge to older systems based on "so called" Neural Networks.

Most people feel that there could be a lack of unified central direction and strategy from government. The lack of a pan-European strategy will also prevail. The UK government's response is divided between the NFA, the Cyber Crimes unit and the Cabinet Office's Fraud Error and Debt Initiative. Some believe passionately that the lack of a unified central government strategy will drive up fraud significantly in 2013. On the positive side, at least some of the civil servants who have been involved in the NFA since the beginning are starting to gain real experience of the sector and an appreciation of the enormous challenges they face. The DWP is also tendering to get some real-world fraud strategy skills into their midst too, which should prove invaluable given the changes due with the Universal Credit.

The USA is increasingly ready for a policy U-turn on the adoption of signature as the CVM of choice. The U.S. market will find it increasingly difficult to evolve in a global payment systems world without the protections offered either by PINs - or a "next generation" solution. As the rest of the world is moving (or largely has moved) in this direction already, 2013 could see this U-turn as fraud increasingly migrates to the U.S.

Major insurers will continue to develop a strong and very credible fraud prevention solution based around the "front end" (underwriting stage of business). The emphasis on delivering a strong industry wide data-sharing drive will also continue to increase; although a whole re-think of the industry fraud register will be needed to address Data Protection Act requirements.

There will be a major shift in the presence, position and fraud service offerings of one or more of the major data-bureaux (such as credit reference agencies), as more solutions either move in-house or move to systems developed by a host of new players in various fraud sectors.

And there will be some surprises as there always are - whether they are policemen on the take, another raft of politicians fiddling their expenses, or further high profile banks brought to their knees by (usually) rogue traders.

"The current economic climate is driving change and there is an evolution in the world of fraud prevention that we have not seen before," says Bill Trueman, CEO of UK Fraud. "However, if we are to stay ahead of the fraudster, we have to be able to read these trends and manage both our strategy and the risks accordingly. In highlighting what we see as the trends, we aim to contribute to the debate and raise awareness of the risks. By keeping this debate alive we hope that fraud prevention will shortly gain an even greater emphasis in key seats of power - be that in the boardroom or within key government departments."
