These solutions are expected to enable an enterprise to identify fraudulent activities with higher speed and accuracy, thereby improving the consumer experience by realizing fast payouts.

In the insurance sector, fraudulent activities are primarily categorized as criminal and cultural. In criminal type, professional perpetrators habitually try to identify a weak system to attack. While in cultural type, a genuine claimant is opportunistic by exaggerating a claim. With the help of data analytics, insurance companies can analyze and detect the possibility of fraudulent activities. The user can enter data, and claim applications are automatically given a score to indicate the likelihood that scam has occurred. Thus, the use of predictive modeling can potentially produce a quantified score that helps a company to understand the propensity of a scam. Monitoring the arrived score through the use of advanced solutions is expected to show more accurate and effective results than that of traditional fraud detection methods. However, relying solely on technology for suspecting the fraudulent activities to be flagged is expected to be a key challenge for the insurers. Thus, to overcome such challenges, analysts are required to initiate immediate action and follow appropriate measures to help the company reduce losses.
