Enterprise Fraud Detection

Enterprise fraud detection identifies fraudulent patterns across multiple systems and time periods by analyzing relationships between entities, accounts, transactions, and locations. This use case addresses detecting cross-system fraud patterns, identifying fraud networks and rings, responding in real-time to prevent losses, adapting to evolving fraud patterns, handling massive transaction volumes, and maintaining low false positive rates through graph-based relationship analysis and network detection algorithms.

The Challenge

Modern fraud detection must:

  • Detect patterns across multiple systems and time periods
  • Identify relationships between entities that indicate fraud
  • Respond in real-time to prevent losses
  • Adapt to evolving fraud patterns
  • Handle massive volumes of transactions
  • Maintain low false positive rates

Traditional approaches struggle with cross-system pattern detection and cannot effectively model the complex relationships that indicate fraud.

Why EKG is Required

Fraud patterns often involve relationships between entities (people, accounts, transactions, locations) that are not visible in isolated systems. EKG's graph structure enables:

  • Cross-system pattern detection — Graph queries can identify patterns across all systems, not just isolated views
  • Relationship modeling — Natural representation of relationships between entities that indicate fraud
  • Real-time queries — Graph structure enables real-time pattern detection
  • Temporal analysis — Graph structure supports time-based pattern analysis
  • Network analysis — Graph algorithms can identify fraud networks and rings
  • Adaptive learning — Graph structure can evolve as new fraud patterns are discovered

Business Value

  • Reduced fraud losses — Early detection prevents losses
  • Regulatory compliance — Meets requirements for fraud monitoring
  • Improved security posture — Better understanding of fraud risks
  • Cost reduction — Automated detection reduces manual review
  • Competitive advantage — Superior fraud detection protects customers and reputation
