Overview
New research from Mercator Advisory Group assesses the impact of mobile devices on retailers' online fraud exposure
Mercator Advisory Group's newest report, CNP Fraud and Mobile Devices: What's the Risk?, describes the fraud detection challenges online retailers will face as sales shift from desktop computers to mobile devices. The report analyzes the opportunity for unique fraud controls that address these concerns.
Michael Misasi, senior analyst at Mercator Advisory Group and author of the report comments, "Many retailers believe fraud rates are lower on orders submitted by mobile devices than those generated by desktop computers, but very few have actually gone through the process of analyzing the unique risks present in mobile transactions. Merchants' lack of experience with mobile channels and the limitations of traditional fraud detection methods complicate mobile commerce risk management, which could expose retailers to additional losses."
