Inspired by the MITRE ATT&CK® framework, Fraud Matrix is a unique comprehensive framework developed by Group-IB, designed to describe the actions and behaviours employed by fraudsters across a wide range of illicit activities. It serves as a strategic tool to deepen understanding of fraudulent behavior and enhance prevention and detection of threats.

  • Threat actor profiles – Detailed insights into fraudster behaviours, motives, and tactics for more targeted threat identification.
  • Fraud software intelligence – A breakdown of tools and malware used in fraud schemes across industries.
  • Campaign intelligence – Real-time insights into evolving fraud and scam campaigns to support faster disruption.
  • New mitigations and detections – Updated techniques to strengthen defences and improve detection accuracy.
  • Self-assessment wizard – A quick way for organizations to evaluate their control coverage and identify gaps.

Global Adoption and Measurable Impact

Since its initial public launch in 2024, Fraud Matrix has seen adoption by over 80 organisations across 30+ countries, spanning industries from banking and telecom to retail and government. The framework has already delivered a measurable impact:
