Forter to provide fraud and identity protection for McDonald's digital orders

Fraud-prevention vendor Forter announced a global partnership with McDonald's covering online ordering, payments and the loyalty program. The aim is real-time trust decisions that protect McDonald's restaurants and franchisees from new digital fraud risk. No financial terms were disclosed, so the deal matters mainly as a sign of how much of the business now runs through the app and digital channels.

• Scope: online orders, payment flows and the loyalty program
• Forter says its network covers more than 400,000 online businesses
• No financial terms disclosed
