Experian Wins Platinum Award for Identity Verification Innovation in Juniper Research’s 2024 Future of Digital Awards
Ascend Fraud Sandbox identifies undetected portfolio risk to reduce fraud, drive growth
COSTA MESA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Experian today announced its Ascend Fraud Sandbox won the Platinum Award for Identity Verification Innovation in Juniper’s 2024 Future of Digital Awards, which recognizes the vendors that are revolutionizing today’s financial landscape and shaping tomorrow’s innovations. The Identity Verification Innovation category honors the leading players in the anti-fraud, security and fraud prevention markets.
“Our Future Digital Awards aim to recognize products at the forefront of innovation and Identity Verification is a highly contested category,” said Nick Maynard, head judge for the awards and vice president of Fintech Market Research at Juniper. “Ascend Fraud Sandbox’s ability to identify wider trends and go into granular detail on identities by using Experian’s massive data sets is one of the primary reasons we felt it was well-deserving of the Platinum Winner.”
Ascend Fraud Sandbox empowers organizations to analyze data, identify new fraud patterns, and quickly build, test and deploy models. This technology enables financial institutions to dramatically enhance their fraud detection capabilities, leading to higher approval rates for online deposit accounts and at the same time as they reduce fraud-related losses.
“Winning the highest award for Identity Verification Innovation underscores the transformative power of Ascend Fraud Sandbox to help financial institutions to quickly operationalize new data-driven insights to combat today’s fast-evolving AI-driven fraud,” said Alex Lintner, CEO of Technology, Software Solutions and Innovation, Experian. “With this cutting‑edge solution, our customers can harness the power of data and analytics to navigate the digital world with confidence and security.”
The sandbox operates with more than 10 billion identity and fraud events that include applications, login activities, transactions and much more. It continuously incorporates tens of millions of new events each day. Coupled with the sandbox’s advanced analytics and real‑time decisioning solutions, this expansive dataset helps detect fraud patterns even when identities are manipulated and enables users to stay ahead of increasingly sophisticated fraud attempts, especially those driven by artificial intelligence (AI).
This recognition from Juniper Research continues the awards momentum for Ascend Fraud Sandbox. Last October, it won the Gold Award for AI in Fraud Prevention Innovation in Juniper’s 2023 Future of Digital Awards for Fintech and Payments. In September 2024, Ascend Fraud Sandbox ranked in the top spot for IDC’s Real Results Awards for Bank Deposit Transformation.
