globe with connecting dots

Every year fraud results in considerable financial losses and causes significant reputational risk.

As fraud increases in frequency and sophistication, the costs of preventing, detecting and responding to fraud go up.

Until now, organizations have acted individually, developing their own fraud prevention techniques and footing the ever-increasing bill that it brings. But what if those organizations, recognizing their common concerns and objectives, joined forces to:


fight fraud icon
 

Better understand and collectively fight complex fraud
targeted assessments icon


Perform more targeted near real-time risk assessments
alert icon


Detect and mitigate fraud together, reducing not only the amount of fraud, but also the costs for prevention that each one bears
work together icon


Work toward achieving those goals together versus individually

  Protect Against Organized Cybercrime

Threatmetrix Consortium cyber crime data sharing


Common Risks, Common Goals

Consortium was developed for customers with common goals, challenges or fraud risks. It allows participants to exchange information. 

Consortium enables businesses to selectively share their negative and positive data attributes in real time, using shared lists. This collective intelligence can be operationalized via ThreatMetrix Rules. It operates on a give-to-get model, with each member required to contribute on a regular basis. 

The data is exchanged across an agreed set of Consortium members and contributors. Together, they create an industry-focused or peer-based, layer of data insights that complement an organization’s local intelligence as well as build upon the global shared intelligence harnessed through the LexisNexis® Digital Identity Network®.

Ultimately, that intelligence is used to make more accurate risk assessments and to more effectively protect against organized cybercrime targeting their sector.


  Here's How It Works

Threatmetrix consortium step one

Step One

ThreatMetrix customers are given the opportunity to opt-in to Consortium. The Consortium creates a template list of fraud typologies. 



Threatmetrix consortium step three

Step Three

Using the LexisNexis® Digital Identity Network®, customers selectively share data across the Consortium peer network. They’re expected to feed their data into the Consortium on an ongoing basis. 

Threatmetrix consortium step two

Step Two

Those typologies allow fraud to be placed into categories or lists, such as ACTO, malicious software taking control of a customer’s internet banking session and extorting funds, and Mule Watchlist, activity associated with accounts suspected of being linked to mule networks but not yet confirmed. 
Threatmetrix consortium step four

Step Four

And, in return, those customers are allowed to take Consortium shared data and use it to make risk assessments. The information can be operationalized by configuring rules on the data shared at the Consortium level within ThreatMetrix policies.

  By Sharing data, Patterns of Fraud Become Apparent 


See the Big Picture

When it comes to fraud, it can sometimes be difficult to see the big picture, because you may be focused on the type of fraud only occurring in your organization.

Consortium gives businesses a much broader, more holistic picture of the fraud landscape.

With sharing near real-time intelligence across consortia groups, businesses can see patterns of fraud that otherwise would remain hidden and they gain new insights. They can also get confirmation on concerns, such as suspected fraudulent devices, and see which organization has blacklisted a device and why, which helps to prevent further fraud.

Shared data allows Consortium businesses to understand the complex fraud rings that target their industry. Their ability to see greater context within the data ultimately supports smarter fraud decisions and real-time risk assessments.

Consortium Members Realize Multiple Benefits

Large, complex organizations can create an enterprise-level Consortium where they can share their own data across organizational silos. This helps gain better
insights and avoid duplication of effort, while still achieving the same goals.

Whether within a single, large organization or across multiple businesses in the same industry, Consortium participants benefit from:

  Case Study: Consortium in UK Banks


One of the first Consortiums formed for LexisNexis Risk Solutions is among UK banks. Almost immediately, members began seeing benefits from sharing information across different use cases. As word got out about its successes, other UK banks asked to join the Consortium and become active participants in the shared data repository.

Among the Consortium’s activities are:

  • Sharing lists of known fraudulent devices
  • Proactive identification of mule accounts and associated fraud strategies
  • Near real-time sharing of bad attribute data
  • More accurate tracking of high-risk devices: banks can access additional context behind risk decisions such as when an entity was blacklisted and by which other bank(s)
Working together, the UK Bank Consortium is seeing numerous successes. Shared information has enabled the banks to:

  • Ban recognized fraudulent devices
  • Confirm whether suspected devices are fraudulent
  • Identify and close mule accounts long before they would have been detected without Consortium data
  • Stop account takeovers, limiting the damage
  • Recover and repay fraudulent funds

Outsmarting Fraud

Consortiums offer the opportunity to share intelligence, broaden perspectives and achieve common goals more quickly and cost-effectively. As criminals become
better organized and create more sophisticated schemes to maximize their success, it only makes sense that individual businesses in an industry join together
to form a united front in detecting and defending against fraud.  Sharing data with consortium capability across geographies,
industries and use cases, are an important part of the solution in outsmarting fraud.
