The discussion will take place on Monday, October 6, 2008, from 12:00-1:00 p.m. GMT, at the Demo Theatre.

What:

The impact of online fraud and abuse goes beyond simple fraud loss; it strikes at the very heart of business revenues, growth, reputation, and your operational efficiencies. With the virtual world community a prime target for today’s more organized cybercriminals, the use of device reputations not only protects your virtual world community and legitimate members from evolving forms of online fraud and abuse such as credit card fraud, account takeover, virtual asset theft, and in-game abuse, it improves the efficiency within your fraud management process to provide real value to your bottom line. In this session, attendees will learn:
Why online fraud and abuse continues to be a persistent problem, and how it is evolving
How device reputation changes the way virtual worlds combat fraud and abuse
The business benefits of shared device intelligence
