As the leading company focused on electronic fraud prevention and detection, Easy Solutions is at the

forefront of research regarding constantly evolving electronic threats. Easy Solutions’ ongoing

research is not just technical; it also takes the dynamic needs of the market into account, including

financial institutions, electronic service providers, and end users, who are often the weakest link of

the security chain and thus play a key role in preventing fraud.

For the third straight year, Easy Solutions conducted the study “Views of Latin American Consumers

on Electronic Fraud”, based on consumer research with users from Mexico, Central America and the

Caribbean, the Andean Region, Brazil, and the Southern Cone. These results are one of the

information sources that help to shape the products and services of the Total Fraud Protection®

strategy and offer a reference point for the electronic security strategies and educational campaigns

of financial institutions in the region.

29% of contacted people over the age of 20 do not use the Internet as a means for making

transactions or purchases. The main reason they don't is fear of electronic fraud.

As a preliminary step in the analysis of the views held by electronic banking users, it is also important to take a

look at those users who do not use the Internet for banking transactions. 29% of those contacted don't use the

Internet for banking, and the main reason why is fear of electronic fraud.

Therefore, fighting against electronic fraud is not only critical in preventing economic losses and protecting the

reputation of financial institutions; it is also essential for the growth of online banking and new transactional

channels, since these alternatives are operationally less expensive and more convenient for users than physical

bank offices.

INHIBITING FACTORS IN THE USE OF INTERNETFOR TRANSACTIONS AND PURCHASES

For online banking users, the Internet is their preferred channel for making transactions, while their

use of and preference for bank offices has decreased.

In Latin America, users are increasingly turning to the Internet and other electronic channels to complete their

transactions, payments, and purchases. In line with global trends, and due to growth in the availability of

Internet in the region, these channels continue to replace bank offices and ATM machines for making

transactions.

For online banking users, the Internet is the most frequently-used channel – 3.8 times a month, with 67% of

users saying they use it at least once a week.

Although the total number of mobile banking users in the region is still low, mobile users' frequency of use

increased over the last year to become one of the highest among payment channels, with a rate of 3.6 times per

month.

The preference for bank offices is very low compared to their level of use, creating an opportunity for financial institutions to continue moving users to the Internet and other more profitable electronic channels.

4EDUCATIONAL AWARENESS CAMPAIGNS ABOUTFRAUD IN FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS

Educational campaigns should be reinforced so that users are aware of their responsibility for fraud

prevention and learn to protect themselves.

Although the majority of users know that their bank conducts educational campaigns about electronic fraud

prevention, a third of users in the region are not familiar with these kinds of initiatives.

Awareness of educational campaigns decreased compared to last year, especially in the regions of Brazil and

Central America, which reflects a lower level of knowledge about electronic threats and a drop in personal

measures taken to protect against those threats, as you will see shortly.

It is essential that financial institutions reinforce and remain steadfast in their educational strategies to

decrease the amount of fraud victims and improve the perception of security surrounding online banking and

other electronic channels.

5KNOWLEDGE AND CONCERNS ABOUTELECTRONIC THREATS

Knowledge levels about electronic threats are low in the region, and decreased over the last year as a

consequence of lower awareness of bank educational campaigns.

Among Latin American users, there is still a widespread lack of knowledge about threats other than computer

viruses and Trojans, with 40% of users unaware of phishing through e-mail and 57% who don't know what

pharming is. More advanced and highly dangerous threats like man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks and man-in-

the-browser (MITB) attacks are only known by less than a third of users.

It's also alarming that the level of protection is even lower than threat awareness, since not all users who know

about a threat have protected themselves against it. The gap between knowledge and protection is highest in

the cases of MITM, MITB, pharming and phishing.

These figures indicate that there is a great need to educate users about how to protect themselves against

different forms of electronic fraud, putting greater emphasis on those that are less known and therefore

potentially more dangerous.

Security perceptions on the Internet

Only a third of users believe that security for transactions or purchases on the Internet has improved

in the last year. As seen previously, fear of fraud is the chief factor inhibiting use of the Internet as a

transaction channel, and therefore it is necessary to teach users to stay alert, as well as how to protect

themselves from computer threats.

Personal Protective Measures

Another consequence of the low awareness of educational campaigns is a drop in the personal

protective actions of users. Among the most commonly used personal protection measures were

only visiting familiar websites (77%), only making purchases on the websites of well-known

companies (64%), and checking if a website has a security certificate (45%).

It is interesting that 37% of those interviewed say they have installed a protection program apart from

an antivirus program on their computer, because someone they know recommended it or through

their own initiative. This shows that users are interested and willing to install programs that protect

against malware and other threats.

Banks and financial institutions have the opportunity to take a more proactive role in recommending or giving

their users solutions against malware that can effectively protect them from threats like pharming, phishing,

and MITM and MITB attacks.

Nevertheless, the majority of users don't know how useful the program they installed is, and therefore can fall

victim to deceptive programs that not only don't offer any protection but on the contrary end up being a form of

malicious software themselves.

Another possible personal action that can be taken against fraud is to check bank and credit card statements.

About 40% of users don't have the habit of revising their statements, which is an important method for

detecting fraud. This is another issue that could be improved with more education.

6RESPONSIBILITY FORANTI-FRAUD MEASURES

For Latin American users, the main party responsible for electronic security is the banks.

41% of online banking users think that banks should assume the most responsibility for the security of

electronic transactions. The users themselves are in second place for accepting responsibility with 34%,

followed by computer and software manufacturers.

Responsibility for Anti-Fraud Measures

When considering electronic fraud, who do you think is primarily responsible for ensuring that electronic transactions are secure?

On a related note, Latin American users think their banks should implement stronger security measures. 88% believe that their bank should strengthen authentication methods and 82% expect that their transactions will be monitored to detect suspicious activity. Considering that 44% of users say that these measures would increase their willingness to use the internet as a transactional channel, the impact of the implementation of stronger security methods would be extremely positive.

The use of strong authentication methods other than a second password is lower than 50%.

In Latin America, the use of strong authentication methods is still low. The most widespread method is a second password, with a 50% usage rate, followed by challenge questions and a security image.

Nevertheless, not all users of strong authentication methods trust that they work, and this is shown by 54% of those who use challenge questions having doubts about the reliability of that solution. It is necessary to accompany the delivery of security tools with educational materials that can explain to consumers how to use the solutions correctly and effectively, so that they will have a positive impact on trust and perceptions of security.

Willingness to use additional security methods

There is a lot of interest in using new security methods, but many users are not willing to pay for access to these services.

Almost all users are willing to use the additional security methods offered by their banks, which demonstrates that users prefer to sacrifice convenience in favor of greater security.

However, almost half of those interviewed are not willing to pay for access to these services, with some regional differences. Brazil shows the lowest willingness to pay for additional security methods (43%); conversely, the Southern Cone region registers the highest level of willingness to pay for better security methods (64%).

8CONCLUSIONS

The results of the study show that electronic fraud is the biggest factor inhibiting the use of online banking and shopping on the Internet. Nonetheless, it is possible to change the perception of the security of electronic channels by providing additional security methods and education.

For users of online banking, this is their preferred and most commonly used channel for making transactions, while the use of bank offices and ATM machines continues to decrease.

While mobile banking still has a limited base of users, it shows a relatively high frequency of use.

Many users have no awareness of threats like phishing, pharming, and malware, and don't have any protection against them.

A third of those interviewed are not aware of their bank's campaigns against electronic fraud. Memories of these campaigns declined compared to the year before, which is reflected in a lower awareness of electronic threats and less personal measures taken for protection.

The use of strong authentication methods is still low, and should be accompanied by educational campaigns to improve the effectiveness of solutions and increase the perception of security and usage of online banking.

There is willingness on the part of users to utilize additional security methods and install protection programs on their computers, different from antivirus programs. Banks can have a more proactive role in incentivizing the use of this kind of technology against malware at the end user level, in order to prevent phishing, pharming, man-in-the-middle, and man-in-the-browser attacks, which are becoming increasingly more common in the region.

Latin Americans see banks as the main parties responsible for the security of electronic transactions. Users expect that their bank will offer strong authentication methods and transaction monitoring to detect suspicious activity.

9EASY SOLUTIONS MULTI-LEVELTOTAL FRAUD PROTECTION® STRATEGY

“The best policy for dealing with the threats of today and tomorrow is multi-level fraud prevention.” – 1Gartner

The vision that sets Easy Solutions apart when it comes to fraud prevention is based on a comprehensive approach that addresses the different stages in the life cycle of an electronic attack: from attack planning, to stealing account credentials, and all the way up to withdrawing money from accounts.

This approach doesn't just allow for fraud to be prevented in a truly proactive way, before attacks are even launched and therefore minimizing the crime's impact and losses; it has also proven to be the most effective way to prevent fraud, because there is no one-size-fits-all solution to the various and constantly evolving forms of electronic fraud.

Gartner highly recommends the multi-level prevention approach as the best strategy for effectively preventing present and future threats: “The best policy for today and tomorrow's threats is multi-level fraud prevention…no single layer of fraud prevention or authentication is enough to keep determined fraudsters out of enterprise systems. Multiple layers must be employed to defend against today's attacks and those that have

1yet to appear.”

The Easy Solutions Total Fraud Protection® Strategy, in addition to covering all of the different stages of an attack, also includes protection for multiple transaction channels and authentication factors, making it truly “total” and complete.

In addition to the effectiveness of the Easy Solutions approach, the different products and services of the Total Fraud Protection® Strategy are designed to be easily integrated and implemented in stages, depending on the company's security plans and strategies. The products and services also help institutions comply with various regulations.

At a minimum, a layered security program should be designed to detect strange or unusual behavior when the customer logs into the system and when carrying out electronic transfers to third parties. Enhanced security is necessary for business accounts.

On the next page, we will describe the various levels of the Easy Solutions Total Fraud Protection® Strategy, which not only provide the best proactive protection against different kinds of electronic fraud, but also help to comply with local and international laws and regulations.

LAYER 1: Detect Monitoring Services – Proactive Protection against Phishing

Detect Monitoring Services monitors and classifies every user connection to a financial institution's website in real time. This layer of security proactively detects website visits from phishers as well as malicious activity on the website such as copying or altering original material. Any fraudulent websites that target the institution's customers are quickly deactivated.

LAYER 2: Detect Safe Browsing – Protection against Phishing, Pharming, Malware, and Man-in-the-Middle and Man-in-the-Browser attacks at the end-user level

Detect Safe Browsing is a tool that blocks online banking sessions from computers infected with malware or a poisoned hosts file. This security layer works by scanning a computer when it attempts to connect to a protected website. If DSB detects hosts file poisoning or malicious processes, the user is advised not to carry out the online banking session.

LAYER 3: Complex Device Authentication

DetectID® is a sophisticated strong authentication solution that permits the flexible integration of different authentication factors on the same platform: second password, security image, challenge questions, tokens, grid cards, and device authentication. The “true” authentication of devices done by DetectID creates a complex digital fingerprint based on the hardware information of the device.
