BOSTON, Tuesday, September 28th 2010 [ME NewsWire]:

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Norkom Technologies today announced that its industry recognized case management solution, Enterprise Investigation Management (EIM), is being incorporated into MasterCard’s Expert Monitoring Solutions fraud management service to help enhance the capabilities MasterCard’s issuing customers currently have in predicting, detecting, and preventing payment card fraud.

Norkom’s EIM solution enables MasterCard’s customers to view and respond to incidents of fraud by ensuring that they have access to information needed to validate whether or not an incident is truly suspicious.
