[Riyadh, Saudi Arabia]\u00a0<\/strong>Group-IB<\/a>,\u00a0<\/strong>a leading creator of cybersecurity technologies to investigate, prevent, and fight digital crime, today announced at Black Hat MEA the launch of the Cyber Fraud Intelligence Platform (CFIP), a groundbreaking technology designed to protect Saudi financial institutions, e-commerce entities, and digital platforms from emerging cyber threats.<\/p>\n

As Saudi Arabia continues its digital transformation under Vision 2030, addressing the rising threat of cyber fraud has become a priority for both businesses and consumers. Building on Group-IB\u2019s global leadership in anti-fraud technologies, CFIP is a first-of-its-kind, privacy-focused, real-time fraud prevention platform that enables Saudi organizations across banking, telecommunications, payments, online retail, and gaming to collectively collaborate in detecting and blocking fraudulent activities without exposing sensitive customer information. CFIP is also a core element of Group-IB\u2019s Cyber & Fraud Fusion approach, which unifies cyber threat intelligence and fraud prevention.<\/p>\n

Powered by Group-IB\u2019s patented Distributed Tokenization technology, CFIP securely shares anonymized \u201crisk signals\u201d between organizations to identify and stop fraud in real time. For Saudi businesses, this means proactively combating issues like coordinated mule-account networks, phishing scams, and synthetic identities, which have been rising as payment fraud techniques in the region.<\/p>\n

\u201cFinancial crime is one of the most complex and costly challenges of our time, and no single organization can solve it alone. CFIP reflects our commitment to tackling digital crime through collaboration \u2013 proving that when privacy, compliance, and shared intelligence come together, the entire financial ecosystem becomes stronger and more resilient,\u201d said Dmitry Volkov, CEO of Group-IB.<\/p>\n

Fraudsters can often move funds across multiple banks and jurisdictions within minutes, making recovery nearly impossible. Unlike traditional fraud detection systems that act only after fraud happens, CFIP enables Saudi organizations to act in real time by securely exchanging anonymized data on suspicious activity in milliseconds. This proactive approach helps detect and prevent fraudulent transfers before funds are lost.<\/p>\n

All customer data remains fully anonymized and protected during this process, adhering to strict compliance standards. CFIP\u2019s privacy architecture has been independently verified by Bureau Veritas, confirming that its design and processing methods are fully GDPR-compliant. The certificate makes CFIP the first global, real-time fraud intelligence platform to achieve this level of validation.<\/p>\n

In a Central Asian national deployment, CFIP already identifies 300\u2013400 mule accounts daily and processes 180,000 checks, projecting $100\u2013300 million in annual savings at full adoption. With similar levels of collaboration in the Kingdom, CFIP could significantly reduce digital financial crime in Saudi Arabia\u2019s<\/a> growing digital economy.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the launch, Mohammad Flaifel, Regional Sales Director of KSA and
\nT\u00fcrkiye at Group-IB, said: \u201cWe\u2019re proud to introduce the Cyber Fraud Intelligence Platform today at Black Hat MEA, in the heart of Saudi Arabia\u2019s thriving cybersecurity innovation landscape. As the Kingdom builds one of the most secure and advanced digital economies, CFIP plays a vital role in supporting this vision. Today, cyber threats and fraud can no longer be treated as separate challenges. By enabling real-time intelligence sharing, CFIP connects cyber intrusions with financial fraud, empowering organizations to unite and strengthen cybersecurity and prevention efforts across the Kingdom.”<\/p>\n
