Fraud practitioners are feeling the sting of miscategorized fraud methods. On day zero a single-point evaluation leads down a rabbit-hole of research into vendors, data points, workflow adjustments and more, only to find that the focal use case was actually just a symptom of a bigger problem upstream. This miscategorization negatively impacts organizations through lost time and budget as well as sustained fraud-related losses.


In this webinar you will learn: 

- The "moving upstream" framework
- The shared data points across fraud methods that drive miscategorization
- How to challenge and confirm whether a fraud trend is real
- Data practices teams can deploy in-house to define future trends accurately

Agentic Commerce is Here - How Merchants Can Build Digital Trust and Be Future Ready Your next customer may not be a human. AI agents are already searching, comparing, and making purchase decisions, faster than any consumer ever could. In this new reality, you, as a merchant, aren’t just competing for customers, you are competing for algorithms. The rules of eCommerce are being rewritten. And fraud is evolving just as fast as the technology enabling it.

So how do you build trust and minimize friction when machines are in control? And how do you stay competitive when milliseconds and signals determine who wins the sale?
