Get ahead of the fraud, and prevent it with Converus.

By Julio Vasquez , Marketing —

Safety and security are a topic that many, if not all, institutions are talking about.  In this day in age, it is very common to hear of someone who has had their identity stolen. There are many cases of fraud and identity theft and anyone can be affected. If you have a social security number or an identification card, you are a target to identity theft or fraud. Once your identity has been stolen, the perpetrator can open accounts, buy large ticket items, or even commit acts of crime that would be linked to your name. Medical records would also be at risk.

A Target For Fraud

There are institutions that are highly-targeted for fraud. These would include, but not limited to; government, law enforcement, and financial institutions. The biggest threat is not those that are outside of the company., Believe it or not, the biggest threat comes from within. Employees have access to sensitive information.
