5 Keys to staying ahead in a fast-moving threat environment

Share this post

2016 was without a doubt a year full of data breaches. Many organisations, including Yahoo and Volkswagen, made the headlines.1 Additionally, 44% of respondents had experienced economic crime within the last 2 years. 2 Not surprisingly, as threat levels increase, so does the cost of an attack. Depending on the industry, the average total cost of a data breach ranges between $3 and $17 million (£1.6-13.6 million) 3 – and that excludes the additional millions lost as reputations suffer and customers take business elsewhere.

The reason the number of attacks and the resulting costs are skyrocketing is simple. Attackers – whether inside or outside of your organisation – are using more sophisticated techniques to gain access to sensitive information. Additionally, as fraud tactics become more sophisticated, they are more difficult for traditional security systems to identify. In order to protect both corporate and customer data, compliance, security, and fraud officers must
rethink how they approach and improve fraud detection and overall cyber security.

However, improved detection is only part of the solution. Organisations need to adopt better proactive prevention tools in order to stay ahead of the fast-moving threat environment. The reason is clear. The stakes have never been higher when it comes to protecting customer and enterprise data. Customers are acutely aware of the fraud and data breach risks they face, and if they find companies aren’t taking those risks seriously, they aren’t afraid to find a business that will. For this reason, it is imperative that corporate compliance, security, and fraud officers understand how to detect and proactively prevent cyber fraud

I didn't receive an e-mail

Tip: Check your spam

Sometimes our e-mails end up in spam. Make sure to check your spam folder for e-mails from The Payments Association

Tip: Check “other” tabs

Most modern e-mail clients now separate e-mails into different tabs. For example, Outlook has an “Other” tab, and Gmail has tabs for different types of e-mails, such as promotional.

Tip: Click the link within 60 minutes

For security reasons the link will expire after 60 minutes. Try submitting the login form again and wait a few seconds for the e-mail to arrive.

Tip: Only click once

The link will only work one time – once it’s been clicked, the link won’t log you in again. Instead, you’ll need to go back to the login screen and generate a new link.

Tip: Delete old login e-mails

Make sure you’re clicking the link on the most recent e-mail that’s been sent to you. We recommend deleting the e-mail once you’ve clicked the link.

Tip: Check your security policies

Some security systems will automatically click on links in e-mails to check for phishing, malware, viruses and other malicious threats. If these have been clicked, it won’t work when you try to click on the link.

Need to change your e-mail address?

For security reasons, e-mail address changes can only be complete by your Member Engagement Manager. Please contact the team directly for further help.
