MyCena Security Solutions today announced the addition of a new feature to its MyCena Desk Center (MDC) platform, designed to stop credentials theft, fraud and social engineering in call centers, Business Process Outsourcing (BPOs) and customer service centers.
Customer service operations are a prime target for cybercriminals because they open the doors to millions of customers’ data.
Currently managers at call centers, BPOs and customer service centers give agents their passwords in clear text. The problem is once agents know the passwords, the organization no longer controls the life of those passwords, and these can be shared, sold, lost, social-engineered or phished without them knowing.

Having given away control of access, they don’t know when passwords are phished, social engineered, shared, sold or reused in personal accounts. The majority of breaches – over 82% – use employees’ login credentials. That means 4 out of 5 ..
