Miami, FL – May 22, 2020 – Appgate, the secure access provider, today announced it has been recognized as a Representative Vendor in the Gartner Market Guide for Online Fraud Detection¹. Appgate was named in the OFD: Device Assessment, Endpoint Malware Detection, Behavior Analytics and Behavioral Biometric category.

Preventing Online Fraud with a Multi-Layered Approach

Attacks are becoming more advanced and multi-faceted; organizations need a multi-layered approach to combat them. Attackers use multiple strategies to infiltrate accounts and networks so a single point solution, or siloed solutions, aren’t effective. Appgate recommends that organizations that want to improve their risk posture should consider the following: combine transaction monitoring and multi-factor authentication; add context and logging information gathered from devices; and, apply an orchestrating layer that enables these elements to communicate and share information. This approach greatly improves your posture and helps you make faster, better informed decisions.
