Fraud Risk Scheme:
An internal or external fraudster attempts to access or remain in part or all of an information system without authorization to view, modify, or divert sensitive data. The intrusion may target financial, personal, or strategic information.
Detection:
High number of failed login attempts on sensitive accounts or systems.
Activities occurring outside normal working hours or during holidays.
Access from unusual IP addresses or suspicious geographic locations.
Abnormal modifications or access to critical files not justified by the user’s normal activity.
Prevention:
Mandatory strong authentication (multi-factor authentication) for all sensitive access.
Frequent password rotation and prohibition of reusing old passwords.
Network segmentation and access rights limited according to user roles.
Automated monitoring and alerts for abnormal system behavior.
Regular audits of accounts and active sessions to detect any persistent intrusion.
