Fundtech Ltd. FNDT -4.18% , a market leader in global transaction banking solutions, today released a new white paper investigating the widespread cyber crime challenges faced by banks and how to fight them. The white paper includes insights from fraud and cyber crime experts from the FDIC, FBI, M&T Bank and NICE-Actimize.
