Jerry Tylman, Founder of the Fraud Red Team, on the gaps in fraud detection systems

Peter Renton

Every bank and fintech company has a suite of anti-fraud tools that they use to keep the bad guys out. Few tools are 100% effective, however, and often the implementation of these tools, along with their interfaces with other system leave gaps. And the fraudsters will exploit these gaps. So, how do you get a holistic view of your anti-fraud arsenal and discover where these gaps are?

My next guest on the Fintech One-on-One podcast is Jerry Tylman, the co-founder and partner at Greenway Solutions and the founder of their Fraud Red Team.
