Kevin Lee, Digital Trust and Safety Architect at Sift (sift.com), talks about his company and their mission. As the Trust and Safety Architect at Sift Science, Lee is very involved in Sift's core mission—securing trust and safety for the digital age. Lee is skilled in building high-performing teams and systems that will combat suspicious and malicious behaviors. Before bringing his expertise to Sift, Lee was a manager at Facebook, Square, and Google in roles pertaining to risk, and spam, as well as trust and safety. Lee discusses how Sift started out in the payment fraud area, using machine learning and other technologies to outsmart fraudsters. Today, they are focused heavily on digital trust and safety issues. Lee explains the mechanics of their solutions, and he cites specific examples of client work, from Airbnb, Twitter, and others, helping to stop data breaches and fraud. He explains how ‘bad actors' take over accounts and the kinds of malicious acts they try to implement. Lee discusses some of the e-commerce sites that they offer protections for, and how attacks against them are designed. Continuing, Lee explains some of the signs they look for that could indicate fraud is potentially happening. He talks about iPhone fraud attempts, and the telltale signs of fraud that they see in that platform/family versus android. From account take over to trolling and financial fraud, Lee explains some of the most current problems businesses are combatting. As he states, in account take over scenarios, often trust is destroyed, which could result in the loss of customers and clients. Wrapping up, Lee explains how easy it is to get started with Sift and the protections that companies can take advantage of right away. As digital disrupters, Sift is innovating daily, taking its position as a leader in the digital security space.

Does the common knowledge about online fraud hold any weight?

Selena Templeton chats Jason Tan, co-founder and CEO of Sift Science, a machine learning fraud and abuse prevention company. Starting with an overview of machine learning and how it differs from artificial intelligence, Jason discusses the best fields where ML can be used and the limitations of ML, particularly when it comes to detecting and preventing fraud. He also touches on how fraud prevention used to work versus how the folks at Sift Science have improved upon it by using ML to accurately predict and defend against fraud in real time. When it comes to Natural Language Processing (NLP) — breaking sentences and words into chunks and trying to build a statistical model of the human language to develop a deeper understanding – we’re entering an interesting time in which the Turing Test will be more important than ever: * What happens when exclusively AI-written content reads exactly like human-written content? * What are the consequences such as verifying the veracity of this content and determining how trustworthy this “writer” is? * Should we be nervous that we can’t (or soon won’t be able to) differentiate between human and machine? We also (of course!) talk about unconscious bias and how to prevent it from being baked right into the technology that we’re creating.

According to a recent study, experts are estimating that fraud targeting call centers and customer service departments of online companies will increase 250% by the end of 2018 (compared to 2017). And, based on the online companies Karisse and Brett have talked to, it's become a huge problem. Whether the fraudster is calling to re-route a package, place an expensive order or to pre-text, Karisse & Brett will discuss why these are becoming a bigger problem, examples of the tactics being used and ways to work with customer service to train them to identify fraud calls and prevent losses due to phone fraud.  Especially with the holidays coming quickly, this is an important episode to listen to as this method will be used frequently by fraudsters for the Holidays 2018.

If you’re like most people, you probably don’t spend too much time thinking about payroll fraud. You might not even know what it is.

So, you've decided you need a trust & safety team. What's the next step? Getting buy-in. But that's easier said than done! How do you convince product managers to invest the resources needed for data scientists, engineers, fraud analysts, and more? Kevin Lee, Trust and Safety Architect at Sift Science, and Paul Rockwell, Head of Trust & Safety at LinkedIn, guide you through the process.

Building a fraud team is one of the most important steps a business can take to reduce risk. But it’s also one of the most difficult. What factors should you weigh while building your team? What pitfalls should you look out for? And what missteps should you avoid? To get the scoop, we talk to two experts: Kevin Lee, Trust and Safety Architect at Sift Science, and Paul Rockwell, Head of Trust and Safety at LinkedIn.

Fraud attacks have become much more sophisticated. Account takeovers are happening more often. Many security attacks involve multiple methods and unexpected attacks can devastate businesses in just a few days, as we saw with Neiman Marcus and Target. False promotion and abuse is seen not only on social media sites but is also targeted at business. To combat these risks, fraud solutions need to be smarter to keep pace with fraudsters to prevent attacks and react quickly when they do happen. This requires a fast-learning solution with the ability to continually evolve. In this episode we talk to Kevin Lee from Sift Science and examine the shifts in the info security landscape over the past ten or fifteen year. Lee also highlights what new kinds of fraud are now possible and what machine learning solutions are available. See more episodes at: www.TechEmergence.com
