Talk to a fraud fighter

Why fraud detection is losing ground and how financial institutions can fight back now

In a new Expert Opinion piece for Credit Union Times, ThreatMark CEO Michal Tresner argues that many banks and credit unions are still fighting last year’s battles while fraud is evolving at breakneck speed.

In “Financial Institutions Are Fighting Yesterday’s War: Why Fraud Detection Has Failed”, Tresner lays bare the mismatch between outdated fraud detection tactics and today’s sophisticated, adaptive threats.

He calls for a paradigm shift: instead of simply reacting to known fraud patterns, financial institutions must anticipate what’s coming, embrace predictive tools, and build agile systems that protect customers in real time.

The article uncovers why relying solely on legacy detection—static rules, rigid thresholds—is no longer enough, and what it takes to stay ahead of fraud actors who can move faster than your systems.
