Social Engineering: Solving the Most Difficult Fraud Challenge

About

A growing share of financial fraud relies on manipulation, not technical know-how.

Instead of breaking into systems or stealing credentials, fraudsters are manipulating legitimate users into authenticating, approving payments, or handing over access themselves. To financial institutions, these events look normal—the right user, credential, and device—even though what’s really happening is fraud.

Social engineering can feel like a purely human problem that’s hard to control, but it isn’t invisible. These attacks create early behavioral and contextual indicators, making it possible to identify manipulation as it’s unfolding, not just after the fact.

Why social engineering isn’t invisible or unavoidable, and how the right tools surface it early
How fraud teams can identify social engineering earlier by looking at intent, context, and continuity, not just individual transactions
