You could do that, and they'd quickly tell you that fraud detection requires vast datasets that your company almost certainly cannot generate or maintain in-house. Then what?
- dmitrygr 8y agoFind a way to live without it I guess. Certainly that would be better than having your entire production stop working because somebody else decided to take a multimillion-dollar check and run with no concern for you or contracts you had signed
- krainboltgreene 8y agoIt's not better.
- not_kurt_godel 8y agoIf you can afford to cut multi-million dollar checks for a fraud/abuse prevention service, then you can also afford to retain a legal team who will recoup your losses and then some when those contracts are broken. A temporary production outage due to a rare situation is far preferable to being at the perpetual mercy of hackers constantly pwning whatever half-baked homegrown security system you forced your engineers to implement with inadequate support & resources. Real businesses don't operate on "I guess" solutions and they don't just fork over huge chunks of cash willy-nilly without doing at least some cost-benefit analysis and making sure they're protected in case of contract breach.
