Title
Use of ML for Financial fraud detection
Abstract
A key challenge for financial services firms is to detect fraudsters before they can commit their crimes. This is particularly difficult in a world where data is at the heart of everything businesses do. By using machine learning, fraud detection can become much more accurate and effective.
Fraud prevention starts with the right processes and controls in place to assess all possible risks from system, performance, and productivity scenarios. The first step is to identify any potential issues that could lead to fraudulent activity. These should be investigated closely to determine whether they are genuine or not.
If there are any concerns about potential fraudsters, the next step is to analyze the data that they access. This allows you to check whether any suspicious patterns exist — such as unusual transactions or unusual user behavior — which might indicate fraud attempts or other security breaches.
