Zurich Insurance Group deploys RiskShield to tackle fraudulent actions

The RiskShield application has been designed to enable financial institutions to tackle potential fraud in payment transactions and virtual channels, such as internet banking. The application is based on several detection systems which are set to provide fraud specialists with an overview of all the banking processes as well as with the ability to trace and stop a fraudulent payment if necessary. By leveraging multiple data sources (customer profiles, browser/device information, transaction history, along with Informs technology, pattern recognition, network analysis and conventional rule based prevention), RiskShield provides a decision engine to route transactions with the right authentication level.

Zurich has plans to implement RiskShield starting with Latin America followed by business units in Europe, Asia Pacific and South Africa. Mexico was the first country to go live with RiskShield.
