EP 21: Fighting fraud at Apple - Stories from a Veteran w/ Monica Sharp

Published on: 5th March, 2021

Every online company that sells a good or service has online fraud. Companies with products popular with consumers will be targeted by fraudsters. And Apple was no exception when it began its online store. Monica Sharp has had the unique career opportunity to witness Apple's transformation from its pre-internet computer manufacturing days to its current position as the premier creator and purveyor of consumer electronics, software, and online services. She was responsible for innovative projects and programs across many teams and organizations, regionally and globally, during her time at Apple, ending with the fraud department for the last 10 years of her time there. For the first time, Monica is sharing some of her experiences publicly with Fraudology podcast listeners. From what it was like in those early "beige box" days to solving some of the biggest issues in anti-cybercrime, Monica has some great stories and insights to share!

About the Podcast

Fraudology Podcast with Karisse Hendrick
Join Fraud Fighter Karisse Hendrick twice a week for deep dive interviews and weekly fraud news.
If you work in online fraud prevention, chances are you've caught the "bug". The bug that makes you passionate about identifying & preventing cybercriminals from getting away with stealing from your company, or your client's companies. Most people who have made cyber-fraud their career have the perfect balance of analytical and social skills, a strong sense of justice and the curiosity that will drive you to go down every path of information until you "crack the case".

Just like sociology is the study of social behavior, and psychology is the study of human behavior, Fraudology is the science and study of fraud.

On the Fraudology podcast, long-time online fraud expert, Karisse Hendrick will dive into all areas of Fraudology from the perspective of a fraud-fighter. With guests ranging from former cybercriminals to fraud-fighters at Fortune 500 companies to law enforcement and others, you will no doubt be entertained, while learning a lot about fraud & other forms of abuse prevention!
