BT Balancing fraud prevention with customer experience in the contact centre

Overcoming increasing attacks 

Contact centre fraud is now big business and with attacks become increasingly sophisticated, agents are working against the odds:

 

Common forms of attack

At present, these are some of the most common forms of malicious behaviour call centres encounter:

 

The stages of fraud

Fraudsters tend to follow a structured approach:

The growing cost of authentication to combat fraud, the contact centre industry is investing heavily in authentication.

In fact, annually ID verification alone is costing the contact centre over £1 billion pounds – roughly equivalent to the cost of building the Burj Khalifa.

But how do you reduce this spend and improve authentication without adding unnecessary barriers and friction for customers?

Introducing Smartnumbers Protect
Smartnumbers Protect verifies the authenticity of calls before they even reach an agent – using machine learning to analyse call signalling, caller behaviour and rapidly checking numbers against the fraud database. This provides frictionless experiences for genuine customers and diverts high risk calls to specialist teams. It also layers brilliantly with Nuance Gatekeeper to provide a multifactor authentication solution.

 

Introducing Nuance Gatekeeper

Nuance Gatekeeper replaces outdated verification factors with biometric authentication and intelligent fraud detection. The AI-powered solution is extremely difficult for fraudsters to defeat because it layers voice, conversational and behavioural biometrics to protect against a range of attacks. Plus, with passive verification, customers use their voice as their password, eliminating the need to remember obscure information and allowing secure, frictionless authentication.
