Dubai, UAE: Group-IB, a leading innovator of cybersecurity technologies for investigating, preventing and combating digital crimes, has announced the launch of its Cyber Fraud Intelligence Platform ( CFIP ), a pioneering technology designed to protect financial institutions, e-commerce organizations and digital platforms in the UAE from emerging cyber threats.

As the UAE continues its digital transformation under Vision 2030, addressing the growing threat of cyber fraud has become an increasing priority for both businesses and consumers. Building on Group-IB’s global leadership in fraud prevention technologies, its Cyber Fraud Intelligence Platform is a unique, privacy-focused platform that enables UAE organizations across the banking, telecommunications, payments, e-commerce, and gaming sectors to collaborate on detecting and combating fraudulent activity without exposing sensitive customer information. The platform is a key component of Group-IB’s approach to integrating cybersecurity and fraud detection capabilities, which unifies cyber threat intelligence and fraud prevention efforts.

Thanks to Group-IP’s patented distributed tokenization technology, the cyber fraud intelligence platform securely shares anonymous “alarm signals” between organizations to detect and stop fraud immediately. For businesses in the UAE, this means proactively combating issues such as coordinated fake account networks, phishing, and fake identities, which are increasingly prevalent in the region as payment fraud methods.

Commenting on the platform, Dmitry Volkov, CEO of Group-IB, said: “Financial crime is one of the most complex and costly challenges of our time, and no single organization can tackle it alone. The launch of our Cyber Fraud Intelligence Platform reflects our strong commitment to combating digital crime through collaboration, as it demonstrates that the entire financial ecosystem becomes stronger and more resilient when privacy, compliance, and shared information are combined.”

Fraudsters can often move funds between multiple banks and jurisdictions within minutes, making recovery nearly impossible. Unlike traditional fraud detection systems that only activate after a fraud has occurred, the UAE's cyber fraud intelligence platform enables organizations to take immediate action through the secure exchange of anonymized data about any suspicious activity, within fractions of a second. This proactive approach helps detect and prevent fraudulent transfers before funds are lost.

Throughout this process, all customer data remains anonymized and fully protected, as the platform adheres to strict compliance standards. The platform's privacy architecture has been independently verified by Bureau Veritas , a global leader in testing, inspection, and certification, which confirmed that its design and processing methods are fully compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation ( GDPR ). This certification makes the Cyber Fraud Intelligence Platform the first global real-time fraud intelligence platform to achieve this level of authentication.

As part of its nationwide rollout in Central Asia, the platform currently identifies between 300 and 400 illicit money transfer accounts, or "mule accounts," daily and processes 180,000 checks, with projections of saving between $100 million and $300 million annually upon full implementation. If implemented with similar levels of cooperation in the UAE, the platform could significantly reduce digital financial crimes in the country's growing digital economy.

Ashraf Kahil, Vice President of Sales for the Middle East, Turkey, Africa, Australia and New Zealand at Group-IB, said: “The UAE is a leading example in digital innovation and enhancing cybersecurity systems, and the launch of the cyber fraud intelligence platform reflects this accelerating momentum. With the growth of digital threats and the increasing risks of fraud, the need arises for advanced solutions that enable the secure and immediate exchange of information, thereby enhancing the ability of organizations to protect their cyber infrastructure and strengthen their readiness to confront fraud attempts.”
