Increasing security, reducing fraud and minimizing risk are the three main ingredients of a strong and robust security strategy for financial institutions. But how can this trifecta of protection be achieved for both a credit union and its members?

The basic tools and methods of increasing security must be supported by a dedicated and committed organizational mindset to expand a credit union's fraud fighting capabilities beyond the basics of "just enough" security.

The constantly advancing techniques of fraudsters are the enemy of a good security strategy, and they will rarely if ever fail to exploit an opportunity to defraud an institution and its members. The only guard is constant vigilance.
