Descriptive analytics provides the foundation for fraud detection by examining historical data to identify patterns, trends, and anomalies. Summarizing transaction data to uncover trends

Fraud analytics has evolved from manual, heuristic-based, or simplistic rule-based systems to highly advanced, data-driven frameworks. Modern organizations, including banking, insurance, and telecommunications, are increasingly adopting a multi-layered, automated approach to combat sophisticated fraud schemes that evolve rapidly.
