SAS® Social Network Analysis
An integral component of the SAS Fraud Framework
SAS Social Network Analysis helps institutions detect and prevent fraud?by going beyond individual and account views to analyze all related activities and relationships at a network dimension.
Benefits
- Gain a holistic view of fraud.
- Identify more fraud while greatly reducing false positives.
- Double or triple investigator efficiency.
- Prevent future fraud.
Features
- Intuitive network visualization interface
- Advanced profiling engine
- Advanced, large-scale network analytics
- Web-based environment

How SAS? Is Different
No other fraud solution provides the same level of detection, automation, ease of use and ROI, including the ability to:
- Visualize social networks and see previously hidden connections and relationships in a highly intuitive manner.
- Achieve unrivalled detection rates using advanced data network building and analytic techniques.
- Maintain extremely low false positive rates with true, large-scale network analytics that deliver more alerts that you can act on.
- Evolve from parameter-driven, rules-based systems to dollar-amount-agnostic neural network and modeling approaches.
- Perform supervised and unsupervised scoring, using predictive analytics to spot anomalies in the data.
- Gain a true enterprise view of fraud by aggregating alerts from multiple systems into a single environment.
- Take full advantage of external data sources (e.g., fraud consortium databases).
- Customize the solution as needed (e.g., develop fraud models unique to your institution).
- Increase ROI per investigator tenfold with fewer false positives, prioritization of higher-value networks and more accurate, efficient investigations.
Benefits
- Gain a holistic view of fraud. Go beyond the typical customer view of fraud to see the bigger picture ? including related perpetrators ? and gain a clearer understanding of customer behavior.
- Identify more fraud while greatly reducing false positives. With SAS Social Network Analysis, you can reduce false positives and identify more actual fraud, which increases your overall capture rate and decreases the solution’s total cost.
- Double or triple investigator efficiency. The solution significantly reduces the effort normally associated with investigating fraud, with each referred case taking only one-half to one-third of the time usually required for investigation.
- Prevent future fraud. SAS gives you a better understanding of emerging threats so you can take action to prevent substantial losses before they happen.
Features
- Intuitive network visualization interface
-
- Gain a complete picture of individual customers, their products, and networks at the click of a button.
- Actually see network connections?to uncover previously unknown relationships and conduct more efficient investigations.
- Explore entire networks of identities, accounts, claims?and applications in minutes rather than hours.
- Drill down further into underlying data for full customer details, including other linked customers and networks.
- Produce complete dossiers of networks surrounding a case.
- Advanced profiling engine
-
- Produces independent and combined scores to assess overall risk on a customer, product and network basis, then generate alerts that are automatically routed to the appropriate resources.
- Scores applications and claims based on scorecard-driven models and text analysis.
- Scores individual customers and their full histories.
- Scores associated networks using behavioral data (patterns, network growth rates, activity levels) and other data provided (current/previous addresses, contact numbers, employers).
- Performs batch processing of existing customer accounts and real-time scoring, enabling you to detect and investigate existing fraud as well as prevent new fraud.
- Ingests existing risk scores or red flags and provide an aggregated score at the network level to identify subtle or hidden relationships.
- Advanced, large-scale network analytics
-
- Work across internal and external data sources to link customers and accounts based on common attributes or more subtle patterns of behavior.
- Web-based environment
-
- Manages the routing and processing of potentially fraudulent applications and proactive investigations within special investigation units.
- Measures productivity and provides other information to help manage the unit efficiently and effectively.
