AI Security for Security and Fraud Detection

F5 Newsroom Staff

AI is becoming a frontline tool for security, fraud detection, threat monitoring, and anomaly analysis across industries like finance, healthcare, e-commerce, and critical infrastructure. But while AI can catch fraud faster, it also opens new vulnerabilities that adversaries are quick to exploit:

• Leakage of sensitive customer data, account numbers, or authentication details
• Prompt injections manipulating fraud detection copilots or SIEM integrations
• Adversarial inputs designed to bypass or confuse fraud detection models
• Lack of visibility into AI-driven fraud decisions, limiting compliance and response

Our AI runtime security solutions secure the Security & Fraud Detection vertical with AI Guardrails for real-time protection and built-in Observability for full oversight of AI deployments.

Guardrails: Protect Fraud Detection AI at Runtime

F5 AI Guardrails, previously named Inference Defend, safeguards fraud detection and security AI systems at runtime, stopping adversarial exploits and protecting sensitive data in real time.

• Prevent Data Leaks: Blocks unauthorized disclosure of account details, authentication tokens, or personally identifiable information.
• Stop Adversarial Attacks: Detects and prevents prompt injections or manipulations designed to bypass fraud monitoring.
• Adaptive Controls: Tailors protections to fraud detection workflows while maintaining low latency for real-time monitoring.

Outcome for Security Teams: AI systems operate securely and reliably, protecting sensitive data while catching fraud at machine speed.

Observability: Full Oversight of Fraud AI Decisions

In fraud detection, traceability and auditability are critical for compliance and incident response. Our inbuilt observability features provide enterprise-wide visibility into every AI-driven security decision.

• Global Dashboards: A centralized view of AI usage and security events to enable compliance across the entire enterprise.
• Audit-Ready Logs: Every decision is logged, supporting compliance with financial regulations and fraud investigations.
• Policy Enforcement: Flags anomalous, non-compliant, or biased fraud detection outcomes in real time.

Outcome for Security Teams: Confidence that AI-powered fraud detection is explainable, defensible, and aligned with enterprise compliance requirements.

Comprehensive AI Security for Cyber & Fraud Detection

With AI Guardrails and built-in observability, organizations gain:

• Data Protection: Prevents leakage of sensitive financial and identity data.
• Resilient Fraud Detection: Stops adversarial manipulation of AI monitoring tools.
• Regulatory Compliance: Meets strict audit and oversight requirements for finance, payments, and critical infrastructure.
• Trustworthy Decisions: Ensures AI-powered fraud detection outcomes are secure, explainable, and defensible.

The Bottom Line

Our AI runtime security solutions secure the Security & Fraud Detection vertical by ensuring fraud detection and threat monitoring AI applications are protected at runtime and fully observable — enabling enterprises to fight fraud faster while maintaining compliance and trust.
