About
According to the Global State of Fraud and Identity 2026 Trends, consortiums and industry collaboration are accelerating around the world.  As fraud tactics grow more sophisticated, relying solely on internal data to detect fraud is no longer enough. Organizations need smarter, more collaborative approaches to assess risk accurately while preserving seamless customer experiences.

In this webinar, we’ll explore how data collaboration and, in particular, consortium models are transforming fraud prevention. We’ll also examine some of the challenges with a consortium approach and how they can be addressed.  Learn how these rapidly growing collaborations are already delivering measurable results, enabling companies to collectively protect consumers, reduce losses and stay ahead in an increasingly complex fraud landscape.

Key takeaways include:
  • How consortium-based data collaboration works in practice
  • Obstacles to a successful consortium approach and how to overcome them
  • Real-world outcomes from shared intelligence models combating fraud at scale
  • How consortiums foster wider collaboration beyond just shared intelligence
