Connected Intelligence Strategy

Security isn’t just about safeguarding transactions anymore. It’s essential in facilitating the interactions between financial institutions, merchants and consumers that ensure a valuable and rewarding experience for everyone. Connected Intelligence, quite literally, connects intelligence gleaned from multiple sources at every point of interaction to progressively build intelligence throughout the consumer journey. It leverages a variety of rich data sources to identify the legitimate fraud that costs businesses billions each year while filtering out the noise of “false positives” that results in unrealized revenue. Connected Intelligence represents a ground-breaking application of the CARTA principles in action. It’s not only changing the way we approach securing the payments industry, it’s transforming the way we think about security in every industry.
