Embedded in this paper, a fraud exposure calculator helps you quantify the gap between what your books record and what your fraud controls are already signalling, before your next budget conversation.
Most European banks are fighting fraud with infrastructure that was built for a different problem. They’re detecting fraud that has already happened by reviewing transactions, filing suspicious activity reports, and reimbursing customers after funds have cleared.
That model has three compounding problems.
First, the 15-minute crime window: funds are typically unrecoverable before the detection system triggers.
Second, the PSR liability shift: reimbursement liability moves onto the institution and the standard is prevention, not detection.
Third, the intelligence paradox: every institution is seeing fragments of the same criminal networks, but they can’t share those signals without GDPR exposure, so the criminals operate across institutions that are fighting them independently.
Group-IB’s approach is different. We operate upstream, in the criminal ecosystem, monitoring adversary infrastructure, fraud kit deployment, and mule recruitment before attacks are launched. That intelligence reaches institutions before the transaction, not after.
