    On-Premises vs Cloud Services – Two Sides of the Same Coin

    On premises

    With the advent of technology, industries are streamlining all their processes and ensuring higher levels of productivity every day. On the contrary, fraudsters are also benefiting from technology and developing better strategies for executing their evil plans. No matter how hard businesses try, there is always a loophole for criminals to fulfill their malicious intentions. Nevertheless, there is one way of dealing with problems – identity verification. AI-powered Know Your Customer verification is an all-in-one solution for your problems. With the help of KYC, you can verify every individual during the onboarding process and ensure that none of the fraudsters make their way through the company. Moreover, you get many options within the KYC verification like face verification, document verification, and address verification to make the process as robust as possible.

    Although businesses are employing KYC checks, criminal activities are continuously increasing. Identity theft, data breach, money laundering, and terrorist financing are some of the fraudulent activities that are on the rise. Unfortunately, the majority of these crimes have been reported due to lacking customer verification procedures in companies. 

    How can you enhance the security of your business? There are two ways of increasing security of your enterprise; cloud service and on-premises service. Let’s take a deeper dive into both of these services.

    Industries that Need On-Premises Identity Verification Services

    Almost every sector has become the target of fraudsters and every company needs a solution to tackle them. With the help of on-premises service, different sectors can experience full control over their customer data. According to reports from Statista, following three sectors have been the target of fraudsters and need on-premises service to stay secure in the future. 

    Healthcare Sector 

    As of the 2020 reports from Statista, the healthcare sector has lost approximately USD 7.13 million due to data breaches. Stolen patient records are used to execute billion dollar medical frauds, such as false health insurance claims, over the counter medicine scams, illegal purchase of controlled medicines, etc. are increasing every day. With the help of on-premises service, healthcare facilities can keep the record exposed to a few employees. This means fraudsters and any external entities cannot access it, which will ultimately reduce the risk of breaches and false insurance claims.

    Finance Industry 

    Reports from Security Magazine indicate that hacking and malware are the primary cause of data breaches in financial institutions and the ratio increased to 74.5 per cent this year. According to reports from Statista, there will be a 43 per cent increase in identity fraud over the next 12 months. Hence, the finance industry needs a robust solution to onboard trustworthy customers and to achieve customer trust.. Fortunately, an on-premises service is there to help. 

    Some countries have stringent KYC and AML laws which don’t allow sharing customer data with third-parties, even for verification purposes. 

    Government Agencies

    Government agencies hold a lot of data for insurance claims, pension funds, employment funds, etc. The information can be used for identity fraud if accessible. On the other hand, many countries have stringent rules for not sharing confidential information with anyone. Hence, an on-premises service is ideal for government agencies. 

    Summing It Up

    Advanced technology is not only helping businesses in making all processes more efficient but it is also assisting fraudsters in achieving their goals. The finance, healthcare, and government agencies are the primary targets of fadusters and there is a need for a solution that can prevent identity frauds. All businesses have two ways of customer verification; cloud storages and on-premises service. Each of these solutions has its benefits, but the on-premises service adds an extra layer of security. 

    Shufti’s on-premises service is a one-time installation that provides you multiple layers of security along with maintenance options to your tech team. Furthermore, you get complete control of your customers’ data.
