Group-IB launches next-gen fraud matrix

Group-IB announced the launch of Fraud Matrix 2.0 – a state-of-the-art analytics tool designed to help organisations detect, respond to, and prevent fraud with greater accuracy and agility.

Leading the evolution in fraud protection

Inspired by the MITRE ATT&CK framework, Fraud Matrix is a unique comprehensive framework developed by Group-IB, designed to describe the actions and behaviours employed by fraudsters across a wide range of illicit activities. It serves as a strategic tool to deepen understanding of fraudulent behaviour and enhance prevention and detection of threats.

Fraud Matrix 2.0, is an upgraded and improved version of the framework that further bridges the gap between cybersecurity and fraud prevention, offering a pioneering, unified perspective for tackling modern fraud threats.

What’s new in Fraud Matrix 2.0

The next-generation Fraud Matrix boasts a suite of enhancements designed to give organisations deeper insight, faster response, and stronger control over fraud threats. Key updates include:

• Threat actor profiles – Detailed insights into fraudster behaviours, motives, and tactics for more targeted threat identification.
• Fraud software intelligence – A breakdown of tools and malware used in fraud schemes across industries.
• Campaign intelligence – Real-time insights into evolving fraud and scam campaigns to support faster disruption.
• New mitigations and detections – Updated techniques to strengthen defences and improve detection accuracy.
• Self-assessment wizard – A quick way for organisations to evaluate their control coverage and identify gaps.
• Cross-industry fraud taxonomy – A standardised framework to classify and communicate fraud types across sectors.

Global adoption and measurable impact

Since its initial public launch in 2024, Fraud Matrix has seen adoption by over 80 organisations across 30+ countries, spanning industries from banking and telecom to retail and government. The framework has already delivered a measurable impact:

• Detection coverage increased from 55% to 91%, enabling organisations to identify and address a broader range of fraud techniques.
• Response times improved by 85.6%, helping teams act faster and reduce the impact of fraud incidents.

“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 organisations 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.”

The upgraded Fraud Matrix also supports industry-specific fraud landscape analysis, helping organisations identify blind spots and prioritise defences according to the most relevant threats in their region or sector.

Group-IB continues to collaborate with global cybersecurity framework communities while also exploring future enhancements that will continue to advance the framework through shared intelligence, emerging TTPs, and real-world detection strategies. As the Fraud Matrix evolves, Group-IB remains at the forefront of cybersecurity and anti-fraud innovation.
