Abstract: Technology has its dark side and someone you know has already experienced it.  Fraudsters are becoming faster, stronger, and inflicting more damage than ever.  Every minute that passes between the fraud event and a mitigating reaction is money.  Anti-fraud environments require the highest standards for data visualizations.  In this session, you will learn about best practices for visualizations that escalate suspected fraud in real-time and designs that provoke immediate viewer reactions.  Ultimately, these same standards will apply to all environments, leading to a fundamental change in how we must define the role of the viewer/analyst.
