Scammers and Identity Theft

Scams have been on the rise recently. Malicious organisations and hackers can impersonate others so as to gain monetary benefits, take out loans on the targetted person or organisation's behalf, receive goods and services billed to another organisation, and a whole host of other misdeeds. Such fraud is very damaging and it can be hard if not impossible for traditional methods to detect.

Cloud forensics tools developed in-house have enabled us to aid businesses and organisations to discover previous unknown data breaches and take emergency steps to safeguard their customers. Without going into specifics, our platform has enabled companies to automate incident response. Certain malicious organisations take advantage of different time zones to attack a company, when it's IT support staff are likely to be sleeping or outside of office hours. 

Instead of hiring staff to work round the clock which is not practical even for large banks, our platform has automated this security to quickly detect, block and report incidents to a security team who will deal with it as soon as they can. In the meantime, the targetted data or monies are protected from further access until the matter has been fully investigated and accounted for. 

Traditional forensics processes have failed in the past due to their lack of sophistication and a lack of understanding of how scammers operate. This has resulted in many scammers escaping the long arm of the law, and many have gone undetected and unpunished to this day. Due to our very high level of expertise, we have developed state of the art tools to detect these incidents so that swift action can be taken. By quickly collecting and analysing data, we have been successful in preventing incidents and safeguarding the interests of multiple organisations. As the old adage goes: Better safe than sorry.
