User Behaviour Analytics in fraud detection: bridging the gap between payments and cybersecurity
Originally developed for an audience in the Payments Village at DEFCON, this article by Fortify founder Karthik Tadinada explores how User and Entity Behaviour Analytics (UEBA) can identify anomalies in user and device behaviour, providing critical insights for fraud prevention. By analysing behavioural patterns, UEBA helps detect suspicious activities in real-time. This approach is particularly useful in payment fraud detection - and also in cybersecurity - where human-driven events trigger responses in decision systems, offering a powerful tool for mitigating unwanted behaviour.
