Seeing the Scam. Stopping the Scam. Behavioral Detection, Decisioning, and Real-World Interventions
This session moves beyond scam education and benchmarking into real-time decision-making. Through a short interactive scenario, we’ll examine how behavioral detection and decision orchestration work together — and where the handoffs fail.Scam prevention is no longer just about spotting suspicious transactions. It requires recognizing when a customer is being manipulated — and knowing how to respond in the moment.
This NYPAY virtual session explores scam prevention as a two-part discipline: behavioral detection and decisioning. Panelists will examine how AI-driven behavioral signals reveal coercion and intent in real time, and how decisioning platforms translate those insights into practical interventions — from friction and step-up to customer outreach and human review.
Grounded in real scam scenarios, the discussion focuses on handoffs, not overlap: where detection ends, where decisioning begins, and how institutions can design layered defenses that stop scams without unnecessary friction or one-tool thinking.
