Our take
As use of the internet rises, so too does the opportunity for fraud - with criminals exploiting the gaps that come with novel digital environments. DataVisor provides a fraud detection solution that leverages machine learning to identify threats. This helps to overcome the security gap caused by the speed at which today’s digital fraudsters evolve.
Traditional fraud solutions were not designed to handle digital data, and are ill-equipped to deal with quickly changing environments. By employing advanced ML, DataVisor can identify patterns which suggest fraudulent behaviour, allowing organisations to respond immediately and prevent losses before they happen.
Another problem has been that, in the name of security, systems might delay good customers from accessing services. With DataVisor, however, 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 has fuelled its continued expansion. It also boasts an impressive list of customers and partnerships. For example, a partnership with Equifax allowed it to extend it analytics and fraud detection capabilities. It has also launched the industry’s first unified, AI-powered SAR filing solution.
