Fraud remains a serious threat for all financial organizations and consumers. Whether the danger comes from inside or outside an organization, fraudulent activities can have a massive impact on financial firms beyond an immediate loss of income. An organization’s reputation can take a hit, and they can lose their customers’ trust in the company.

The technology advancements designed for better managing financial tasks and transactions like digital banking and cloud-based solutions ironically paved the way to steal more easily and on a larger scale.
