DUBLIN & BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Norkom Technologies announced that Gartner, Inc. has awarded a “Positive” rating to Norkom’s Enterprise Fraud Management (EFM) solutions in its latest report, “MarketScope for Enterprise Fraud Management”.

Authored by Gartner’s Avivah Litan, the report compares EFM vendors across a range of evaluation criteria such as sales strategy, offering (product) strategy, innovation, product/service, overall viability, market responsiveness and track record and customer experience. Gartner defines EFM software as an application that supports detection, analytics and management of fraud across users, accounts, channels, products and other entities (e.g., kiosks).

“We estimate that this market will grow about 10-15% in 2009, despite the slowdown in the economy, mainly because large global financial institutions are investing heavily in EFM technology against a backdrop of increasingly frequent and sophisticated fraud attacks, and also due to a desire to consolidate fraud prevention and financial crime efforts across the enterprise”, explains Litan. “Enterprise fraud management (EFM) saves users money by enabling operational efficiencies and by stopping losses from cross-channel, cross-account and/or cross-product fraud schemes”, she concludes.

“We are absolutely delighted with our rating by Gartner,” says Paul Kerley, CEO of Norkom Technologies. “We’ve worked really hard to help global financial institutions reduce their exposure to fraud by helping them contain their actual losses to fraud and prevent it from escalating through our leading link analysis point-of-compromise capabilities. As a result, we’ve created a loyal base of satisfied customers who, as a result of their Norkom experience with our experts and flexible technology, decide to expand their financial crime and compliance projects with us.”
