Frost Radar™: Fraud Detection and Prevention (Know Your Customer), 2025

The fraud detection and prevention (FDP) market has grown significantly, driven by the frequency, sophistication, and volume of fraudulent attacks. The increase in digital transactions as well as companies’ digital transformation initiatives have created a large attack surface. Businesses are adopting FDP solutions powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning to protect sensitive data and ensure compliance with regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation and Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. Artificial intelligence and machine learning enhance solution capabilities, offering real-time monitoring and analysis of transactions, pattern identification, biometric authentication, behavioral biometrics, device intelligence, and more.

Know your customer (KYC) is an essential component of the FDP framework. KYC solutions verify customers’ identities to mitigate risks associated with fraudulent activities and illicit financial transactions. Vendors may use information such as name, address, date of birth, and government-issued IDs to assess a customer’s risk level based on profiles and activities. KYC is not a one-time process; effectiveness and avoidance of risks, such as session hijacking, require continuous monitoring of customer transactions and behavior and an alert about any anomaly. KYC helps businesses with compliance and regulations aimed at curbing money laundering, terrorism financing, and other financial crimes. By implementing robust KYC practices, businesses can protect themselves from fraud and build trust with customers and regulatory authorities.
