Intro<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fraudsters are always finding new tricks, so we are constantly on our toes to develop countermeasures. To help you protect your business better, behold our newest powerful feature, which is the Advanced Anomaly Detection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new feature builds on our existing suite of anomaly detection tools which are Hourly Sales Anomaly Detection, IP and Ship Location Anomaly Detection, but now offers even deeper insights by analyzing data over the past 28 days instead of the previous 14 days. That means deeper insights, better accuracy, and a stronger defense against evolving fraud tactics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is Anomaly Detection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

FraudLabs Pro Anomaly Detection uses AI-driven technology and frameworks to automatically detect unusual patterns or anomalies for an order based on historical sales records. It helps to uncover suspicious behavior that might otherwise go unnoticed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We currently support three types of anomaly detection:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Hourly Sales Anomaly Detection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Detects unusual hourly sales patterns and then sends real-time alerts via email or Slack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. IP Location Anomaly Detection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Identifies orders placed from IP locations that deviate from past sales records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Ship Location Anomaly Detection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Identifies discrepancies in shipping addresses that don’t align with your customer’s historical records. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s New<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Previously, our anomaly detection features relied on IP location data collected over the last 14 days to identify suspicious patterns. While this has proven effective, we recognized that short-term data may not capture all fraud behaviors, especially those that evolve over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, we have introduced the Advanced Anomaly Detection which uses IP location data collected over the last 28 days to identify suspicious patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This feature is exclusively available for Large and Enterprise plan users only. It’s ideal for businesses handling higher transaction volumes or those more exposed to fraud risks, such as E-commerce stores with international customers, subscription services with recurring billing, high-value goods retailers, digital product vendors and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Key Benefits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Expanding from 14 to 28 days data gives your fraud detection system more context and intelligence. Here’s why this matters for fraud prevention:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
