  • Fifty-five percent of executives at those companies describe their organization's approach as proactive, far fewer than their employees in IT (74%) or compliance (87%), revealing a perception gap.

  • The data also suggests that institutions may be using improper or misleading metrics to gauge their success in fraud prevention.
