Juniper Research recommends investing in top-of-the-range fraud detection and prevention solutions

Juniper ResearchExperian has been selected as one of the leading players in the fraud detection and prevention space in Juniper Research’s strategies report.

“The Juniper report highlights the need for companies to have sophisticated, real-time fraud screening solutions that detect the latest fraud patterns and behaviors while providing a safer and more enjoyable experience for their customers,” said Steve Platt, global executive vice president, Fraud and Identity, Experian. “This is exactly what we’ve been doing at Experian with our recent introduction of CrossCore.”

Juniper Research, one of the leading global analyst firms in the mobile and digital technology sector, evaluated fraud management companies based on factors such as size, financial performance, global reach, product range, the number of clients and strength of partnerships. It selected the top vendors based on significantly higher performance in data analytics capability, ability to monitor fraud across multiple channels (including mobile) and the use of global threat intelligence networks.

Juniper provides the most comprehensive and progressive analysis of the digital commerce market in its market-leading Commerce & Fintech research. The Online Payment Fraud strategies research report provides a global analysis of online fraud detection and prevention in the digital commerce sector, with a particular focus on online banking and card-not-present purchases. The report identified several fraud industry trends and recommendations for merchants, financial institutions, and other firms accepting online payments. At the top of the list was the recommendation to invest in “top-of-the-range” fraud detection and prevention solutions.

“We are seeing a rapid increase in online fraud attacks from every corner of the world,” said Platt. “Companies need a new approach to managing their fraud protection landscape, one that gives them ultimate control over their entire risk exposure while allowing them to quickly implement new protections without writing new code or building new models.”

Experian recently launched CrossCore, the industry’s first smart plug-and-play platform, which allows companies to connect their own solutions, Experian products, and third-party vendors in one place to better protect customers from fraud threats. The CrossCore platform offers a new approach to managing fraud and identity services and addresses a key priority outlined in the Juniper report — that it is vital to take a wider, shared approach to the problem and commit to combating fraud at both the enterprise and industry levels.

Experian is currently offering a complimentary white paper from Juniper’s Online Payment Fraud report, which highlights key trends in identifying and preventing online fraud.

In today’s digital lending landscape, fraudsters are more sophisticated, coordinated, and relentless than ever. For companies like Terrace Finance — a specialty finance platform connecting over 5,000 merchants, consumers, and lenders — effectively staying ahead of these threats is a major competitive advantage. That is why Terrace Finance partnered with NeuroID, a part of Experian, to bring behavioral analytics into their fraud prevention strategy. It has given Terrace’s team a proactive, real-time defense that is transforming how they detect and respond to attacks — potentially stopping fraud before it ever reaches their lending partners. The challenge: Sophisticated fraud in a high-stakes ecosystem Terrace Finance operates in a complex environment, offering financing across a wide range of industries and credit profiles. With applications flowing in from countless channels, the risk of fraud is ever-present. A single fraudulent transaction can damage lender relationships or even cut off financing access for entire merchant groups. According to CEO Andy Hopkins, protecting its partners is a top priority for Terrace:“We know that each individual fraud attack can be very costly for merchants, and some merchants will get shut off from their lending partners because fraud was let through ... It is necessary in this business to keep fraud at a tolerable level, with the ultimate goal to eliminate it entirely.” Prior to NeuroID, Terrace was confident in its ability to validate submitted data. But with concerns about GenAI-powered fraud growing, including the threat of next-generation fraud bots, Terrace sought out a solution that could provide visibility into how data was being entered and detect risk before applications are submitted. The solution: Behavioral analytics from NeuroID via Experian After integrating NeuroID through Experian’s orchestration platform, Terrace gained access to real-time behavioral signals that detected fraud before data was even submitted. Just hours after Terrace turned NeuroID on, behavioral signals revealed a major attack in progress — NeuroID enabled Terrace to respond faster than ever and reduce risk immediately. “Going live was my most nerve-wracking day. We knew we would see data that we have never seen before and sure enough, we were right in the middle of an attack,” Hopkins said. “We thought the fraud was a little more generic and a little more spread out. What we found was much more coordinated activities, but this also meant we could bring more surgical solutions to the problem instead of broad strokes.” Terrace has seen significant results with NeuroID in place, including: Together, NeuroID and Experian enabled Terrace to build a layered, intelligent fraud defense that adapts in real time. A partnership built on innovation Terrace Finance’s success is a testament to what is  possible when forward-thinking companies partner with innovative technology providers. With Experian’s fraud analytics and NeuroID’s behavioral intelligence, they have built a fraud prevention strategy that is proactive, precise, and scalable. And they are not stopping there. Terrace is now working with Experian to explore additional tools and insights across the ecosystem, continuing to refine their fraud defenses and deliver the best possible experience for genuine users. “We use the analogy of a stream,” Hopkins explained. “Rocks block the flow, and as you remove them, it flows better. But that means smaller rocks are now exposed. We can repeat these improvements until the water flows smoothly.” Learn more about Terrace Finance and NeuroID Want more of the story?
