17 April, London, UK - Cleafy has been named a finalist in the 2025 SC Awards for Best Behaviour Analytics / Enterprise Threat Detection. It’s a welcome nod to the work we’ve been doing with banks and financial institutions that are no longer satisfied with simply responding to fraud, they want to stop it before it happens.
Fraud has moved on. The shift from opportunistic attacks to professional operations run by organised crime groups has happened fast. So, we’ve moved fast too.
Banks using Cleafy don’t just react at the point of transaction - they see threats as they’re forming, track them across devices and sessions, and shut them down before customers are affected. It’s fraud prevention with foresight, not hindsight.
Cleafy tracks how real users and attackers behave across every digital session. This gives fraud teams the visibility to investigate faster - and gives security leaders the signals they need to act on attacker behaviour, not just fraud outcomes.
For CISOs, that means understanding digital identity through usage patterns and device activity, not credentials alone. For fraud teams, it means pinpointing threats like malware, phishing, session hijacking, and social engineering before the damage is done.
“This recognition from SC Awards reinforces the work we’re doing to help financial institutions detect threats early, reduce noise, and make faster decisions,” said Michael Morris, Product Director at Cleafy. “It’s about empowering teams with the intelligence they need to stay ahead of attackers, not just respond to them.”
That’s the point of our Fraud Extended and Response (FxDR) platform:
- It shows the full picture - from login to transaction, across web and mobile
- It adapts in real-time - detecting tactics fraudsters haven’t used before
- It cuts noise - so fraud teams can focus on what really matters
And the results?
- 91% fewer fraud incidents
- 97% drop in unnecessary SCA prompts
- 71% faster investigation times
Behind the platform is Cleafy LABS, our internal threat intelligence team, made up of malware analysts, engineers, and fraud experts who publish findings on campaigns like TeaBot and SharkBot, long before they hit the headlines. Their work feeds directly into the product, keeping our detection sharp and current.
Being shortlisted for the SC Awards matters because it reflects feedback from the people who deal with fraud daily. But we’re not slowing down. The tactics keep changing, and so do we.
