First-party fraud is resurging. This is why we recently partnered with CEB TowerGroup to create a co-branded insight brief, entitled The Very Real Consequences of Synthetic Identities, to provide you an overview of synthetic fraud and some strategies that can help prevent this fraud. Some key points from the brief include:

• Defining synthetic identity
• Methods by which criminals hide among us
• Combatting SID
• Checklist for a progressive approach for the discovery and resolution of the SID epidemic
