With attacks becoming more complex and attackers becoming better resourced static rules based technologies are no longer effective. AI-based systems constantly evolve to stay one step ahead of the fraudsters and as such are essential to prevent fraud. As the global leader in AI-based fraud prevention and business intelligence Nethone is uniquely positioned to help businesses convert threats and challenges into profits. As the leader of the global commercial organisation at Nethone I will ensure that organisations across the globe benefit from the protection and intelligence provided by the market leading Nethone solution portfolio.”
