What are anti-fraud systems, on what principle do they work?

Anti-fraud systems are special programs designed to prevent fraudulent activities. These applications analyze transactions in online mode. They block all suspicious transactions.

Suspicious transactions are evaluated by these programs on different parameters:

• 

• payment amounts;
• individual digital fingerprint of a particular user;
• the IP address of a mobile or computer device.

Neural networks are gradually being introduced into the functioning of anti-fraud systems, making them much more effective. Artificial intelligence capabilities ensure that these systems are constantly trained and improved, their performance is enhanced, and they are able to detect more complex, non-obvious cases of fraud - for example, when financial transactions do not look suspicious, but are uncharacteristic of a particular user.

Anti-fraud systems are used not just to effectively protect against click fraud and other fraudulent activities, but also to improve the level of security and speed of processing payment transactions.
