Fraud Doesn’t Sleep—Your Infrastructure Can’t Either

Recent cloud outages involving Microsoft Azure and AWS have underscored the importance of resilient fraud defense systems that do not rely on a single provider or region. The incidents have highlighted the need for robust architectures that ensure continuous uptime and low latency, which are critical for preventing financial losses due to fraud and maintaining customer satisfaction. The recommended solution involves using CockroachDB's distributed SQL capabilities combined with AWS AI to create a resilient decision-making framework capable of real-time processing and anomaly detection. This architecture leverages advanced vector indexing to enhance fraud detection without compromising speed or accuracy, and it integrates event-driven components to ensure consistent operation even during cloud service disruptions. By adopting this approach, businesses can improve their fraud prevention strategies, reduce false positives, and maintain operational consistency, thereby turning potential risks into competitive advantages.
