Anti-fraud system examples:
Fraud Detection Algorithms: Algorithms analyze transaction patterns to identify suspicious behavior. They use techniques like machine learning, data mining, and statistical analysis.
Identity Verification: Procedures that confirm the identity of users — multi-factor authentication, biometrics, and document verification.
Risk Scoring: Evaluating each transaction based on factors like transaction amount, location, and patterns of user behavior. Transactions with high-risk scores are flagged for review.
Behavioral Analytics: Monitoring users to identify unusual behavior patterns. For example, a sudden change in the location of transactions, a rapid increase in transaction volume, or weird times of activity.
Data Encryption: To prevent data breaches and the theft of sensitive data, anti-fraud systems ensure that all data is encrypted so it can be transmitted securely.
Auditing: Auditing and reporting helps organizations track and analyze their fraud prevention efforts. They may provide reports on detected fraud, the effectiveness of preventive measures, and areas that need improvement.
