Cloud talk with Erin McNamara: Harnessing behavioral data
Erin McNamara, Fullstory’s VP of Product Marketing, hosted two sessions on leveraging behavioral data for enhanced customer engagement and efficient operations. She gave attendees a sneak peek of Fullstory's upcoming release: Data Direct, a new product offering that allows seamless integration of structured behavioral data into customer systems, enhancing real-time personalization and fraud detection capabilities.
Erin also highlighted a use case for leveraging Fullstory to enhance fraud detection. In her example, autocaptured behavioral data from a business’s website is analyzed to identify suspicious patterns, like multiple failed login attempts followed by immediate withdrawal attempts.

This use case showcased how behavioral data can significantly improve operational security and response times.
