Fuzzy Logic represents expert knowledge

As the world's first risk assessment and fraud-prevention system, RiskShield uses Fuzzy Logic – accepted as the best mathematical theory to represent (fuzzy) human expert knowledge. RiskShield thus offers your experts the possibility to feed the system with risk assessment and fraud-prevention rules (or customer-selection rules) in everyday language and with the aid of graphic editors. For example, risk assessment and fraud-prevention rules can be entered into RiskShield with descriptions such as „rather high amount“, „in the recent past“, „a large number“ etc., in other words in exactly the same way as human experts think.

Evaluation of historical data

RiskShield saves the history of past cases for a user or contractual partners and uses this history in risk assessment and/or fraud prevention rules.

Extremely high real-time performance

RiskShield offers very high performance: the system performs its assessments within a few milliseconds.

High transparency

Unlike most systems from other providers, RiskShield can also provide a reason for the risk assessment on request. Cases rated as suspect or risky can be tracked separately by your staff using RiskShield-Investigator. Extensive reporting functions are available to prepare statistics.

Short reaction times to new fraud patterns

Your experts (or on request the experts from INFORM or an INFORM partner) use the RiskShield-Client to evaluate new rules against new fraud patterns or risk patterns and/or for an optimised customer selection. The effects of new rules can initially be tested on the basis of older, proven cases before they are sent into production with only one click – with no downtime of the RiskShield decision server.
