Global Threat of Cyber Attacks Is Spurring the Fraud Detection and Prevention Market Growth

NEW YORK, December 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

Cyber-attacks have become much more prevalent in the recent years and major corporations have faced some sort of breach. These breaches can compromise consumer information as well as directly impacting the company itself. Cyber-attacks are continuously advancing and becoming more complicated to detect and prevent, which is leading businesses to adopt a cybersecurity defense solution. According to data compiled by Marketsand Markets research, the global fraud detection and prevention (FDP) market is projected to grow from USD 19.5 Billion in 2018 to USD 63.5 Billion 2023. Additionally, the market is projected to register a CAGR of 26.6%. The FDP market will be accelerated by the growth of electronic transactions and companies' increasingly losing revenue due to cyber-attacks. Glance Technologies Inc. (OTC: GLNNF), Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CSCO), Oracle Corporation (NYSE: ORCL), Proofpoint, Inc. (NASDAQ: PFPT), Juniper Networks, Inc. (NYSE: JNPR)

FDP solutions can help companies operate efficiently while saving costs, which in return will help the business grow. By application, the most common types of fraud are identity theft, payment fraud, money laundering and other transaction-based offenses. The retail segment is expected to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period due to the large amount of fraudulent incidents. As more retailers are transitioning into e-commerce, online transactions are expected to increase, which can result in more fraudulent cases. Due to the amount of transactions performed in the retail segment, high demand for FDP solutions for payment applications is arising. "With the exponential increase in customers using their mobile device for more transactions than ever before, from ordering coffee to transferring money digitally to a friend, to getting cash from an ATM with their smartphone, it's not surprising that fraudsters continue to seek ways to exploit the mobile channel, making it imperative to protect against malware and crimeware attacks," said Michael Lynch, Chief Strategy Officer at InAuth.

Glance Technologies Inc. (OTCQB: GLNNF) is also listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the ticker (CSE: GET). Just earlier today the company announced breaking news that, "in the almost 2 years since it launched the current version of its proprietary fraud prevention technology, its platform has experienced less than 0.018% of its transactions being fraudulent across all of its live locations (which includes even what is called 'friendly fraud' whereby users mistakenly identify transactions as fraudulent). This represents less than one instance of fraud for every 5,500 transactions. Glance is not aware of any payment firms that have had this level of success with card-not-present transactions, providing an additional key competitive advantage.  

"We believe payment platforms that can reduce or eliminate fraud will be best positioned to succeed in the long run," said Desmond Griffin, CEO of Glance Technologies. "That is why Glance has placed security and anti-fraud technology as its highest priority and at the core of its platform. Our best-in-class performance on security has been an important differentiator that has been key to us signing many of our merchant customers."

Glance Pay has consistently demonstrated a high level of anti-fraud performance while other mobile payment providers have struggled to combat fraud. For example, it was recently reported by the Wall Street Journal that PayPal-owned Venmo's transaction loss rate rose to 0.40% of overall Venmo transaction volume in March (which is more than 22 times higher than Glance's aforementioned 0.018% performance). According to the Wall Street Journal, in the first three months of 2018, Venmo recorded an operating loss of about $40 million - nearly 40% larger than the loss for which the company had budgeted.  Expenses related to fraudulent transactions were reported to be a big factor for these losses.  The Wall Street Journal article also quoted a PayPal spokeswoman as saying that Venmo's loss levels are lower than the overall average for PayPal and compare favorably to the industry.
