Fraud Detection and Fraud Prevention Analytics for Online Travel Company

Project Description

We are an online travel company and are looking at fraud detection and fraud prevention analytics and intelligence from inside and outside the organization. What this implies is collecting, processing and analyzing all characteristics of a transaction and focusing on people, process and technology needed to improve fraud rates.

We would like an expert to iterate through fraud pattern changes, perform multi variable analytics, detect anomalies using strong data profiling, study fraud indicators, derived from the current transaction attributes as well as cardholder’s historical activities. Over time, we would like to build models using algorithms and machine learning to provide more predictive capabilities that can identify and mitigate fraud.

Our intent is to make as many systematic decisions as possible in order to lower overall overhead costs and ensure optimal customer experience and continuous cyber security enhancements.

The universal problem is how to quickly determine the root cause of incidents and then contain and remediate them. Once this is completed, the goal is to return intelligence from the analysis back into the system for proactive diagnostics and mitigation for continuous cyber security improvement
