Scout for SAFEMLS
Access Intelligence

Scout Every day, thousands of online accounts are compromised by account sharing: the deliberate sharing of account credentials to fraudulently enable more people to use an account than are authorized to do so. An unauthorized trader defrauded an international financial institution of $7.2 billion by using other employees' passwords to gain entry to the bank's system. A Ponemon Institute study found that 67 percent of employees believe their organizations outlaw password sharing, but 46 percent of them do it anyway creating fraud and compliance risks. On-line subscription services such as MLS organizations frequently show that up to 20% of accounts are shared which is a form of piracy and revenue leakage.

Account sharing represents a very real risk to businesses and online information services. However, companies have had significant limitations on the ability to gather the information needed to effectively detect and stop account sharing – until now.

Scout for SAFEMLS is a SaaS (software as a service) solution to monitor and report on account sharing by users of on-line systems and the usage pattern of each individual in the account. Powered with this information, a company can make remediation decisions regarding authentication in order to protect their system.
