CASE DISSECTION: Ameriquest: Full House

No mortgage loan gets made without a processor; and no
processor makes a loan without running the applicant's
personal and financial background through software that
can-in theory, if not in practice-reject those borrowers who
can't legitimately qualify for a loan. Which can be
critical, if you're betting the growth of your business on
"sub-prime" borrowers, as Ameriquest has. Otherwise, dreams
of homeownership can become nightmares for buyers. And
brokers.

QUESTION:
Is housing a bubble about to burst? Can information
technology minimize potential risks as America chases the
theory that everyone should own a house?

COMMENTARY: Does Cyberterror Matter?

Sure. But not enough to do a lot about it. In fact, it's
more of a problem for you than the Department of Homeland
Security.

QUESTION:
Should the Department of Homeland Security take a more
active role in defending cyberterrorism? Or is it more a
business issue?

CASE DISSECTION: Gotcha! Fraud Protection Systems

Sifting through mortgage applications and monitoring credit
card transactions are just a couple of the ways computer
systems can help identify fraud and, sometimes, prevent it.
But fielding an effective antifraud system can be
challenging.

DOSSIER: Virsa Systems: Control Yourself

Virsa Systems' access-control software gives a much-needed
hand to companies trying to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley
regulations.
