Today’s organized, digital fraud requires advanced, data mining, analytics, and customized fraudster behavioral pattern-based algorithms to be programmed for proactive, timely scam detection.
Making data accessible is key, and that’s something we know a little about. Whatever you are searching for, it is important to have a comprehensive search feature and quality indexing against a standards-based taxonomy.
