Fraud Detection & Security
Protect Your Organization with AI-Powered Threat Intelligence
Kaman's Intelligent Memory and pattern recognition capabilities provide powerful tools for detecting fraud, identifying security threats, and protecting your organization from both external attacks and internal risks. Discover anomalies before they become incidents.
The Security Challenge
Organizations face sophisticated and evolving threats:
How Kaman Detects Threats
Intelligent Pattern Recognition
The core of Kaman's fraud detection capability is its Intelligent Memory system, which automatically discovers patterns and relationships in your data:
What Gets Detected
| Detection Category | Example Patterns |
|---|---|
| Account Takeover | Unusual login locations, device changes, behavior shifts |
| Payment Fraud | Transaction anomalies, velocity violations, network patterns |
| Insider Threats | Access pattern changes, data exfiltration indicators |
| Identity Fraud | Synthetic identity indicators, application anomalies |
| Compliance Violations | Policy breaches, unauthorized activities |
Auto-Discovered Relationships
Kaman's ontology discovery reveals hidden connections:
Discovered Patterns:
- Accounts sharing devices or addresses
- Communication networks between entities
- Transaction flow patterns
- Time-based activity correlations
- Behavioral similarity clusters
Detection Capabilities
Real-Time Monitoring
Catch threats as they happen:
Behavioral Analytics
Understand normal to detect abnormal:
| Behavior Type | Baseline Elements | Anomaly Indicators |
|---|---|---|
| Access | Typical times, locations, devices | Off-hours access, new locations |
| Transaction | Amount patterns, frequency, recipients | Unusual amounts, new recipients |
| Data | Access patterns, volume | Mass downloads, sensitive queries |
| Communication | Normal contacts, tone | New external contacts, urgency |
Network Analysis
Uncover fraud rings and collusion:
Response Automation
Automated Response Actions
React to threats instantly:
| Threat Level | Automatic Response |
|---|---|
