DataVisor Named 'AI-based Fraud Prevention Solution of the Year' in 2025 Artificial Intelligence Breakthrough Awards Program
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- DataVisor, the world's leading AI-powered fraud and risk platform, today announced that it has been selected as winner of the 'AI-based Fraud Prevention Solution of the Year' award in the 8 th annual AI Breakthrough Awards program conducted by AI Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global Artificial Intelligence (AI) market today. DataVisor's platform rises above a crowded AI landscape by combining three core breakthroughs—patented Unsupervised Machine Learning (UML), adaptive Supervised ML (SML), and Generative AI-driven automation—into a single, high-impact fraud and financial crime prevention solution. This empowers institutions to identify unknown threats in real time, reduce false positives, and automate fraud operations at scale. DataVisor's UML identifies emerging fraud patterns without requiring historical labels, pinpointing coordinated attacks that might involve thousands of accounts acting in concert. This approach enables real-time, proactive detection of new threats, allowing organizations to stay ahead of rapidly advancing crime rings. DataVisor's UML captures over 80% of coordinated and previously unseen fraud attacks, enabling early detection with more than 98% precision and clear, explainable detection reasons. DataVisor's SML enhances detection by learning from historical fraud patterns, filtering out noise, and significantly reducing false positives. Unlike other vendors that only offer generic, pre-trained models, DataVisor customizes each SML deployment to the customer's specific data and fraud typologies, resulting in higher detection accuracy and fewer manual reviews. For organizations without a strong data foundation or historical fraud labels, DataVisor will also provide the option to leverage a consortium model for specific use cases, ensuring effective detection from day one. DataVisor continues to redefine AI-driven fraud defense with AI Co-Pilot, a generative-AI automation engine that reduces manual workloads. For example, its intelligent rule-tuning module mines historical data, runs thousands of threshold and logic simulations, and automatically fine-tunes detection rules—cutting false positives by up to 50% and dramatically boosting operational efficiency. 'AI has been at the core of DataVisor since day one, powering everything from unsupervised machine learning to today's generative-AI Co-Pilot,' said Fang Yu, co-founder and Chief Product Officer at DataVisor. 'Our mission is—and always has been—to stay one step ahead of fraud, detecting both known and emerging schemes in real time so our customers can shut down attacks before they start. We're truly grateful to AI Breakthrough for this award, and we'll keep pushing the boundaries of AI innovation so every client can instantly adapt to novel threats and unlock deeper insights from their own data.' The AI Breakthrough Awards shine a spotlight on the boldest innovators and most impactful technologies leading the charge in AI across a comprehensive set of categories, including Generative AI, Computer Vision, AIOps, Agentic AI, Robotics, Natural Language Processing, industry-specific AI applications and many more. This year's program attracted more than 5,000 nominations from over 20 different countries throughout the world, underscoring the explosive growth and global importance of AI as a defining technology of the 21st century. 'DataVisor's single, high-impact fraud and financial crime prevention solution provides an all-encompassing AI shield against fraud. Fraud detection relies on quickly and precisely identifying abnormal patterns and behaviors to uncover hidden threats and mitigate risks before they escalate. However, this requires tools that can accurately handle huge amounts of data,' said Steve Johansson, managing director, AI Breakthrough. 'DataVisor is a self-evolving, enterprise-grade solution that harnesses AI to tangibly improve efficiency, reduce fraud losses, and help businesses scale securely in a fast-moving digital world. As a result, we're thrilled to award DataVisor with 'AI-based Fraud Prevention Solution of the Year!''
