Confluent : Building real-time fraud detection solutions Over on Stage 2 , software developer Confluent detailed how financial services firms can build context-aware , real-time fraud detection solutions to combat the rising tide of malicious activity across financial ecosystems .
“ The core of what we do is run a datastreaming platform ,” explains Peter Pugh-Jones , Director of Financial Services at Confluent .
“ For many years at banks , we ’ ve seen battery-powered data tools run on-screen . So , the concept of data streaming is that , instead of trying to find the right data through large stores , let ’ s look at it rightaway as it is generated .”
Applying real-time use to this data is what has allowed Confluent to develop real-time fraud detection solutions .
Pugh-Jones added : “ Our platform is a way for businesses to create tailored fraud prevention from data immediately processed in the data stream – something that can be used and shared to other parts of the business and other companies which could be a part of your ecosystem partnership .”
