Patent number: 11652917Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to stop both external and internal fraud, ensure correct actions are being followed, and information is available to fraud teams for investigation. The system includes components that can address: 1) behavioral analytics (ANI reputation, IVR behavior, account activity)—this gives a risk assessment event before a call gets to an agent; 2) fraud detection—the ability to identify, in real time, if a caller is part of a fraudster cohort' and alert the agent and escalate to the fraud team; 3) identity authentication—the ability to identify through natural language if the caller is who they say they are; and 4) two factor authentication—the ability to send a text message to the caller and automatically process the response and create a case in the event of suspected fraud.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2021Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: Verint Americas Inc.Inventors: Jeremy Robert Roderick, Brian Patrick Carman, David Warren Singer, Daniel Thomas Spohrer, Damian Smith, Tim McCurry
