John Wallhoff (CISA, CISM, CISSP)Technology expert with a degree in business administration and economics. For more than 30 years John has specialised in Fraud Detection and Resolving Fraud focusing on Analytics and Fraud Data Science, combining this with Data Management and mitigating Cybersecurity threats. He is a well-known international speaker and trainer, raising awareness and sharing his experiences from working with real data in fraud detection and investigations. The key driver behind the work John does in fraud data science, is exploring how far one can take technology to find fraud and how it can be used by anyone to support business decisions. Making data talk to us is a new frontier in business development and especially for fraud detection and resolution. It also involves how data security and data quality issues are considered to comply with any legal or regulatory requirements when processing and storing data. While data is a valuable asset, John recognises the importance of cognitive technology combined with human intervention to go beyond creating filters and summarising plain data, to enable the aggregation and combination of data to harvest its hidden secrets. John firmly believes that in this new age all financial people including management should be able to use data to gain insights into the early-warning signs of fraud at distance, in a secure, legal and non-intrusive manner.
