Real-Time Detection vs. Post-Event Recovery: Why Fraud Prevention Is Moving Upstream
For years, many fraud programs have followed a familiar pattern: a transaction occurs, the case is investigated, the customer is reimbursed if needed, and controls are improved afterward.

Testing vs. Assumptions: Are Your Fraud Controls Proven or Just Trusted?
Most fraud programs are built on a set of assumptions. We assume the controls we implemented last year still work today. We assume the alerts we tuned are catching what they’re supposed to catch. We assume the controls that passed a test in QA will behave the same way in production.
