 "Consumers are saddled with too many accounts on too many systems with too many passwords. How does one keep up? How does a consumer protect themselves against the never ending threat landscape out there? Fortunately, technology is changing fast and the password is on its way out," said Fraud Force speaker and Dell Software Senior Director of Product Management, Jackson Shaw. "New solutions are already hitting the market that help to make security and authentication both easier and less obtrusive. I'm delighted to have the opportunity to discuss this topic at Fraud Force."

Fraud Force provides an in-person closed-door opportunity to exchange intelligence about the latest global cyberthreats and evasion techniques, and solutions to uncover and fight them. Attendees at the summit include Fortune 500 executives, and world-renowned anti-fraud and cybersecurity professionals in the finance, insurance, retail, social media, travel, ticketing, telecommunications and gaming industries.
