Guardian Analytics Product Suite
Guardian Analytics offers a full suite of fraud prevention solutions for financial institutions. The general architecture includes two main components. The first component, the risk engine, merges analytics and behavior-based models of a user to create a probabilistic profile of each individual. By recognizing anomalous behavior, it is possible to identify fraudulent activity before loss occurs. The risk engine dynamically adapts to user behavior to be able to detect new fraud attacks. The second component is Visual Analytics, a data browser used by financial institutions to monitor, investigate, and resolve potential fraud by accessing collected data. This visual interface shows risk scores and the underlying contextual information to facilitate analysis and investigation.
Guardian Analytics is able to detect fraudulent activities such as account takeover, account reconnaissance and fraudulent wire, ACH, and bill pay transactions. Guardian Analytics is not specific to the type of threat and can protect against cyber attacks such as phishing, vishing and Man in the Browser. The software is transparent to account holders and does not require any action on their side.
Guardian Analytics markets several solutions, targeting particular types of financial interactions:
Guardian Analytics is marketed as software as a service and can be deployed in the company's SAS 70 Type II certified environment.
