Join Amanda Cavallaro for an engaging workshop where we’ll tackle the growing challenge of fraudulent attacks and explore effective strategies to mitigate them. This session will start by breaking down common types of fraud and highlighting how network APIs can become key allies in your fight against scammers.

Designed to suit a variety of learning styles, the workshop will offer step-by-step tutorials, video demonstrations, and opportunities for interactive, hands-on participation. We will also offer some light networking and refreshments to keep the ideas and conversation flowing.

Discover how to step up your multifactor authentication with Vonage’s SIM Swap and Verify APIs.
