"Now the banks are saying, 'We have to break down those information siloes.' ... Some of the banks ... are actually creating fusion centers. These fusion centers, like many things that require organizational change, start with organization, not with technology. What they're doing is they're just co-locating people to try to break down the silo, try to get them to converse more, just so that by osmosis more information is exchanged," Sweeney says.
In this video interview at Information Security Media Group's recent 2015 Fraud Summit in San Francisco, Sweeney discusses:
- The forces behind anti-fraud convergence;
- The tools and skills necessary to fight today's fraud threats;
- How banking institutions are breaking down their own silos to fight fraud.
