Yet the sense is that little is&#13;<br \/>\nbeing actually done to purposely re-establish digital trust through complete&#13;<br \/>\nand accurate digital identities,&#8221; <span class=\"normaltextrun\">explained\u00a0Stuart Dobbie,\u00a0Senior Vice President,&#13;<br \/>\nInnovation,\u00a0<\/span>Callsign.<\/p>\n<p>The survey of&#13;<br \/>\nglobal consumers \u2013 including Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Philippines, and&#13;<br \/>\nSingapore &#8211; revealed that almost half (45%) of&#13;<br \/>\nconsumers say their trust in businesses such as banks, retailers, mobile&#13;<br \/>\nnetwork operators and delivery companies, has decreased due to persistent scams&#13;<br \/>\nspoofing brand names. With global consumers (42%) asking mobile network&#13;<br \/>\noperators to do more to stop scammers using their platforms, and a third (33%)&#13;<br \/>\nasking the same of banks. <\/p>\n<p>People claim&#13;<br \/>\nto have received scams through email (67%), SMS (57%), phone (46%), messaging&#13;<br \/>\napps (33%) and social media (23%) in the last year. But over a third (37%) of&#13;<br \/>\nglobal consumers don&#8217;t know where or who to report a scam message to, or simply&#13;<br \/>\nget too many to bother (34%). \u00a0Over half&#13;<br \/>\nof all consumers don&#8217;t trust organizations to keep their data safe; 43% of scam&#13;<br \/>\nvictims react with suspicion wanting to know where fraudsters got their&#13;<br \/>\ndetails. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The solution lies in re-thinking how we&#13;<br \/>\nfight fraud and how we identify people online. Current approaches tackle both&#13;<br \/>\nchallenges by only identifying fraud,&#8221; said Namrata Jolly, General Manager -&#13;<br \/>\nAsia Pacific, Callsign. &#8220;The problem with this approach is that a fraudster&#13;<br \/>\nusing stolen credentials looks like a genuine user gaining access to accounts&#13;<br \/>\nor executing transactions. If instead fraud strategies look to positively&#13;<br \/>\nidentify only genuine users, this automatically and simultaneously prevents&#13;<br \/>\nfraud.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Callsign&#8217;s technology involves the layering&#13;<br \/>\nof behavioral biometrics over threat detection, device, and location data.\u00a0 Through a simple swipe of a phone, typing pressure, mouse&#13;<br \/>\nmovements or device angles, users can be personally recognized to a 99.999%&#13;<br \/>\naccuracy. Organizations eliminate one point of failure in the authentication&#13;<br \/>\nprocess and achieve two-factor authentication with minimal friction.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With consumers feeling the brunt of&#13;<br \/>\nperceived inaction by organizations, it&#8217;s no surprise that they are asking for&#13;<br \/>\nmore protection. If we continue to be unable to know and trust that the person is&#13;<br \/>\nwho they say they are online, large parts of our society will stop working. <\/p>\n<p>Digital Trust is about the confidence we&#13;<br \/>\nhave in the technology, processes, and people to secure our digital world.&#13;<br \/>\nDigital Trust is underpinned by digital identities, and the fact that scams are&#13;<br \/>\nrunning wild proves that our digital identities are well and truly broken. It&#8217;s&#13;<br \/>\ntime to re-think fraud prevention strategies, identifying genuine users through&#13;<br \/>\ntheir behaviors will allow us to identify users online and re-establish digital&#13;<br \/>\ntrust,&#8221; concluded<span class=\"normaltextrun\">&#13;<br \/>\nDobbie<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p><i>Editors notes.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>*All figures,&#13;<br \/>\nunless stated are from Opinium.
