Build a Global Anti-Fraud Operations Center in Five Steps

In cybersecurity, technology and operational processes are so focused on how to fend off an attack that we rarely focus on disrupting criminals before they launch one.  Not disrupting them when they are knocking on the front door, but when they are planning and coordinating in the dark web.

The RSA® Anti-Fraud Command Center (AFCC) – one of the largest operations of its kind in the security industry – has more than 100 analysts working 24/7 from secure facilities around the world to do just that. Finding and shutting down global cyber attacks in the planning stages.
