Hawk Unveils Fraud Day One Defense Models to Deliver Personalized Protection at Speed

Hawk, the leading provider of AI-powered anti-money laundering (AML) and fraud prevention technology, today announced a major enhancement to its fraud detection solution with the addition of a library of AI-powered fraud typology models. The newly introduced Fraud Day One Defense Models provide financial institutions (FIs) with tailored, proactive protection against common fraud attack vectors. 

The models safeguard an institution’s customers from day one with the Hawk fraud platform, defending against typologies ranging from authorized push payment fraud and merchant fraud to money mule behavior and account takeover.  

Hawk data scientists tailor model blueprints to each organization’s needs at speed, delivering trained models in less than three days after initial data and solution set up. 

This unique approach includes a highly automated feature selection process and model pipeline, which facilitate faster model tuning and result in precision prevention without the months long development cycles expected of full, custom-built AI models. This means FIs can stop high-impact threats, distinct to their business, from implementation, effectively stopping financial crime in its tracks.  

The Day One Defense Models bolster Hawk’s current fraud offering, enabling fraud teams to act decisively and balance response time to new threats with model precision and customer friction.  With the combined power of Hawk’s self-service rule management, typology-specific day one models, and real-time prevention (150 ms average), teams can stop fraud instantly. Hawk’s custom anomaly detection models reinforce these defenses, serving as a safety net that covers fraud teams from every angle.  

Wolfgang Berner, Chief Product Officer and Co-Founder at Hawk, said: “Fraud doesn’t wait — and now, neither do our customers. With our new Fraud Day One Defense Models, financial institutions can now deploy tailored protection in just days. This new offering reflects our commitment at Hawk to helping customers act fast and outpace threats from day one.”
