  • Publication number: 20210224893
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with event triggered policies are described herein. According to one embodiment, a system for event triggered policies includes an analytics engine and an implementation logic. The analytics engine includes a trigger logic and a monitor logic. The trigger logic stores event definitions. An event definition corresponds to an event. The monitor logic monitors personal factors related to the event. The analytics engine is configured to determine whether the personal factors satisfy the event definition. The analytics engine also selects a policy from the policies based, at least in part, on the event definition. The implementation logic implements the selected policy.

  • Patent number: 11062413
    Abstract: Automated secondary linking can be employed in conjunction with fraud detection systems. According to one embodiment, a system includes a parsing logic configured to receive an incoming fraud report based on a first fraud detection strategy. The parse logic is also configured to parse the incoming fraud report into fraud data. The system further includes a search logic configured to search a set of fraud reports to identify instances of the fraud data. The system also includes an alert logic configured to generate an alert in response to an instance of the fraud data being identified in the set of fraud reports.
