Join us for this session as our speakers explore the different areas of fraud and what happens behind the scenes as insurers work to protect their customers against threat. Our experts will share their experiences and impressions dealing with fraud, the frequency and severity of different types of fraud, tips and strategies you can use to detect and prevent fraud, and much more.

After this session, you will walk away with:

  • A better understanding of fraud
