Group-IB Launches Next-Gen Fraud Matrix to Transform Fraud Detection & Response

Group-IB, a global leader in cybersecurity technology, has announced the launch of Fraud Matrix 2.0, a cutting-edge analytical tool engineered to elevate the detection, response, and prevention of fraud. This advanced platform is positioned to redefine how organizations across sectors confront increasingly complex fraud scenarios, offering them a more agile and precise solution to combat digital threats.

Bridging Cybersecurity and Fraud Intelligence

At the heart of this innovation is a unique approach inspired by the MITRE ATT&CK framework, which Fraud Matrix adapts and expands upon to suit the dynamic landscape of fraud. Unlike traditional systems that isolate cybersecurity from fraud management, Fraud Matrix presents a unified conceptual model that captures fraudster behaviours, tools, and tactics across a broad spectrum of illicit activity. This integrated design allows security teams and fraud analysts to view threats through a holistic lens, enabling deeper behavioral insight and more effective risk mitigation strategies.

The Next Generation of Threat Analysis

Fraud Matrix 2.0 represents a significant evolution from its predecessor. Enhanced with new features, this version is not just a technology upgrade but a strategic leap forward in how fraud threats are contextualized, analyzed, and neutralized. The platform introduces richer intelligence about threat actors, illuminating their motivations, behavioral patterns, and operational methods. By detailing the malware and toolkits deployed in real-world fraud schemes, the system empowers organizations to tailor their countermeasures with unmatched precision.

Enhanced Real-Time Threat Monitoring and Self-Evaluation

The upgraded framework also emphasizes real-time visibility into active fraud campaigns, giving organizations the foresight to preempt and disrupt threats before they escalate. An integrated self-assessment tool provides an intuitive way for enterprises to evaluate their current control environment, identify vulnerabilities, and prioritize enhancements. This capability ensures that defenses remain adaptive and proportionate to the evolving threat landscape.

Standardizing Fraud Classification Across Industries

One of the standout features of Fraud Matrix 2.0 is its cross-industry fraud taxonomy, a standardized language for categorizing and communicating fraud types across diverse sectors. This fosters collaboration, improves knowledge transfer, and establishes a common operational understanding of fraud risks. The framework is designed to be flexible and applicable across industries, from banking and telecom to government and retail, making it a valuable asset in both sector-specific and global fraud prevention efforts.

Global Impact and Performance Outcomes

Since its initial rollout in 2024, the original Fraud Matrix has been embraced by more than 80 organizations across over 30 countries. Its measurable impact has been substantial. Detection coverage has surged from 55% to 91%, enabling organizations to detect a far wider array of fraud methods. Meanwhile, response times have improved by over 85%, dramatically reducing the time it takes to neutralize threats and minimize operational disruption. These performance gains underscore the framework's practical utility in real-world settings.

“Fraud is evolving rapidly, and traditional defences are no longer enough,” said Dmitry Pisarev, Product Manager of the Group-IB Fraud Matrix. “With the next generation of the Fraud Matrix Framework, we’re giving organizations a smarter, more structured way to understand and counter fraud threats. It empowers fraud teams to act faster, cover more ground, and stay ahead of increasingly complex schemes.”

Continued Innovation Through Collaboration

Group-IB’s commitment to innovation does not stop with this release. The company remains deeply engaged with the global cybersecurity and threat intelligence community, contributing to the collective advancement of fraud detection methodologies. Ongoing collaboration ensures that Fraud Matrix evolves in step with emerging tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) employed by cybercriminals. As threat actors become more sophisticated, Group-IB continues to expand the framework’s capabilities, reinforcing its position at the forefront of cybersecurity and fraud analytics.

Looking Ahead

Fraud Matrix 2.0 is not merely a technological solution; it is a strategic paradigm that reshapes how fraud is understood and mitigated in the digital age. With its data-driven foundation, interdisciplinary design, and measurable impact, it stands as a landmark contribution to the ongoing battle against cyber-enabled financial crime. As fraud threats grow in frequency and complexity, tools like Fraud Matrix 2.0 offer a critical advantage, ensuring that organizations remain resilient, informed, and one step ahead.
