Stopping the fraudsters connections
Fraud detection applications are not a new concept, but continuously changing techniques used by sophisticated fraud rings are making their detection far more difficult. Gartner cautions “Don’t consider legacy fraud detection technology adequate if the vendor fails to keep up with criminal trends. Replace or complement the technology with solutions from vendors that continue to innovate, which is a necessity when combating rapidly evolving criminal behavior” (See Gartner’s Market Guide for Online Fraud Detection)
This is where the power of the graph database comes in.
Graph databases have been developed to work with data at scale, by manipulating the patterns within it. Graph databases, utilized together with a data query languages like Cypher, provide a simple semantic for detecting fraud rings and navigating the data connections in-memory, even in real time. This makes noticing the connections between fraudsters and their activities far more open to detection.
