As online merchants require stronger fraud management tools to defend their online services from more sophisticated and organized fraud tactics, iovation is leading the way in providing innovative reputation systems that protect hundreds of online services and millions of consumers from all forms of online fraud and abuse. iovation CEO and co-founder, Greg Pierson, will speak about "Reputation as the Foundation for Online Accountability" at the 6th Annual Merchant Risk Council (MRC) Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, March 4-6, 2008. The session will take place on Wednesday, March 5, 2008, from 1:00-2:00 p.m. at the Security & Authentication, La Tour 1.
What:
Because user anonymity often conflicts with the need for accountability, networks are increasingly vulnerable to attacks because identities can be easily created using fraudulent or
synthetic information. This session will explore how device reputation can be used in parallel with identity systems to create a system of accountability for the online eco-system. Topics
of discussion will include:
- Device reputation is the new "frontier" for online fraud and abuse management
- How does reputation work and why it is powerful
- Reputation is an accountability metric
- Using reputation increases privacy, accountability and convenience

As the CEO and co-founder of iovation, Greg Pierson is the visionary leader behind the use of reputation systems to prevent fraud and abuse of online services. An expert in the areas of
Internet security and fraud management, Greg is a frequent speaker at industry trade shows across the globe, where he speaks about various topics including fraud management and emerging
