The sixth episode of Digital Tells: A BioCatch Podcast examines the market for behavioral biometrics. What are the top challenges in preventing fraud in digital channels, and what technologies are on the radars of fraud practitioners? How do organizations like BioCatch partner and innovate with financial institutions to identify and isolate the Digital Tells that can help detect fraud? And how may behavioral biometrics evolve in the metaverse?Digital Tells’ host Peter Beardmore (https://www.linkedin.com/in/peterbeardmore/) opens with an account of his recent conversation with Billy Beane (https://www.biocatch.com/blog/an-inspiring-evening-with-billy-beane) from The Oakland A’s baseball organization. His discussion draws parallels between the evolution of baseball in the 21st Century with the game-changing digital analytics that have changed nearly every industry. Tom Field (https://www.linkedin.com/in/tom-field-9824584/), SVP of Information Security Media Group, discusses the 2021 Fraud Transformation Survey: Detecting and Preventing Emerging Schemes (https://www.biocatch.com/resources/2021-fraud-transformation-survey-detecting-and-preventing-emerging-schemes).

And Peter Beardmore reflects on future opportunities for gleaning emotional insights in impassive online transactions (https://www.biocatch.com/blog/emotional-insights).Transcript:Peter BeardmoreWhen first introducing the concept of Behavioral Biometrics back in episode 1 of this podcast, we drew a parallel to the story of Billy Beane - the Oakland Athetics baseball team general manager whose adherence to Sabermetrics, a statistical and analytical approach to the game, revolutionized the sport. A few weeks ago, shortly after recording episode 1, I actually had the opportunity to speak with Beane in an event BioCatch hosted. I blogged about it shortly thereafter, there’s a link in the shownotes. Anyway, I took the opportunity to challenge Beane a bit. Because while he became famous following multiple division championships, a best-selling book and a hit movie (starring Brad Pitt) ~ there’s been a lot of criticism about Sabermetrics kind of - well ruining the game of baseball. There’s this pace of play problem, games are running longer, attendance is down, the fan base is older than those of other sports.And Beane was - unapologetic. He said look - data analytics is revolutionizing everything. It’s not just baseball. It’s every industry.
