What Is Fraud Prevention?

Fraud Prevention is a set of proactive strategies, processes, and technologies designed to detect and stop fraudulent attempts and unauthorized transactions *before* they cause a loss. Its goal isn't to handle fraud after it happens, but to build defenses so that fraud doesn't succeed in the first place.
