Our take
As the use of online shopping and banking continues to rise, so too does the opportunity for fraud, with criminals exploiting the gaps in defences that come with an increasingly novel digital environment. DataVisor provides the leading fraud detection solution that leverages machine learning to identify threats, to overcome the security gap caused by the speed at which today’s digital fraudsters evolve.
Traditional fraud solutions have not been designed to handle digital data, and they are especially ill-equipped to deal with quickly changing environments. By employing advanced ML, DataVisor can identify the patterns which allude to fraudulent behaviour, allowing organisations to respond immediately and prevent losses before they happen. Another problem with some systems has been that, in the name of security, they might delay ultimately good customers from accessing services. With DataVisor this becomes a non-issue, as the pattern of a non-malicious user can also be identified with speed.
DataVisor has seen considerable investment - that will fuel its continued expansion across the globe - and has an impressive list of customers. The company has also made several partnerships that will act towards strengthening its product offering. For example, it is extending its analytics and fraud detection through partnership with Equifax, by gaining access to its rich consumer identity data.
