Fraud Risk & Investigation
Intelligence
Organized fraud costs banks, agencies, and enterprises billions. Siloed controls hide the bigger picture.
Connect fraud signals across your entire program to uncover coordinated activity earlier, close cases faster, and prevent losses.
The challenge
Keep Your Tools. Fix the Gaps.
Can you check for fraud signals across systems, business lines, and data sources at once?
Do your investigations require manual data gathering, multiple handoffs, or even IT support?
Have you already invested in anti-fraud technology, only for fraudsters to quickly find workarounds?

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Find your answer
What is DataWalk's fraud risk and investigation intelligence solution?
DataWalk is an analytics platform that connects fraud-relevant data – including cybersecurity, customer service, and external registry data – across previously siloed systems into a single connected view. It resolves real-world objects such as accounts, identities, and devices and reveals the relationships between them, allowing investigators to detect fraud rings and suspicious patterns that individual controls cannot see on their own.
How does DataWalk detect fraud across different systems and business lines?
DataWalk brings together your internal and external data sources, including cybersecurity, customer service, registry data, and anything else, into one connected model so investigators can analyze activity across business lines instead of within separate silos. DataWalk has enabled banks to standardize their data and run true cross-business-line analysis after previously operating in isolation. This connected view surfaces coordinated activity that single-system controls miss.
How is DataWalk different from traditional anti-fraud systems?
Traditional fraud systems operate in data silos, which hides coordinated fraud activity that spans multiple systems. DataWalk instead organizes data into one ontology and one connected state, running graph, search, and SQL queries through the same engine rather than copying data into separate tools for each workload. This allows teams to detect and investigate fraud rings, synthetic identities, and shared-device patterns that siloed, individual controls cannot reveal.
How long does it take to deploy DataWalk for fraud investigation?
Deployment timelines vary by organization, but DataWalk's case study with Ally Financial reports a go-live time of 19 weeks, during which the bank brought together and standardized data across business lines for cross-business-line fraud analysis.
Which industries does DataWalk support for fraud prevention?
DataWalk supports fraud investigation in banking, insurance, government, and enterprise organizations. In banking it addresses deposit, digital banking, loan, and insider fraud; in insurance it covers claims, application, provider, and insider fraud; in government it covers benefits, procurement, grant, and insider fraud; and for enterprises it addresses procurement, third-party, supply chain, and e-commerce fraud. Each use case connects the identities, accounts, and relationships specific to that fraud type.
How does DataWalk support AI agents in fraud investigations?
DataWalk gives AI agents governed enterprise knowledge and graph computation they can work through step by step, so an agent can inspect a result and then narrow, branch, or change direction during an investigation. This matters because AI inherits the blind spots in the data beneath it: if that data is fragmented, inconsistent, or incomplete, AI automates the same uncertainty investigators already face. DataWalk connects that data so the evidence behind an AI-assisted investigation can still be checked.
