Why Do Organizations Need Cybercrime Detection Software?
Financial organizations have undergone dramatic digital transformations. This has placed them directly in the crosshairs of cybercriminals and attackers. While the potential for stealing an unsuspecting user’s money is often the lure, cybercriminals can use a variety of data found in financial accounts for malicious purposes. In fact, cybercriminals will use information leaked in previous data breaches to their advantage. This includes using leaked or stolen user authentication or personal and sensitive information, like usernames, passwords, and email addresses.
This information, or credentials gleaned from a successful bot or phishing attack, can be used for some of the following downstream illicit activities and scams. These can include account takeovers (ATOs) and identity theft and application fraud. The latter is when cybercriminals leverage stolen or synthetic account information to create fake accounts on fintech platforms, including applying for credit.
Due to this threat, organizations need cybercime detection software to prevent improper access to sensitive business and customer data. The software helps identify anomalies in online traffic and user behavior. By analyzing data, security teams can understand and mitigate malicious activities. This will prevent potential financial or reputational losses, including any expensive regulatory fines.
