As more businesses take a digital-first approach, contact centers are now essential for timely customer service. At the same time, contact centers are a prime target for account takeover (ATO) fraud which resulted in nearly $13 billion in losses in 2023 (2024 AARP & Javelin Fraud Study). To combat ATO attempts at the call center, today's businesses need a way to deterministically validate a customer's identity while still providing a smooth customer experience. authID has worked with Zendesk to combine its highly accurate and fast identity verification and authentication solutions with Zendesk's contact center solution to reduce ATO fraud while maintaining a human connection.
