Abstract

In the digital age, ensuring the security of payment processing systems is paramount due to the increasing prevalence of online transactions and the associated risk of cyber threats. Traditional security measures often fall short in addressing sophisticated fraud schemes, necessitating the integration of advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI). This paper explores the role of AI-based anomaly detection in enhancing payment security. By employing machine learning algorithms and real-time data analysis, AI systems can identify unusual patterns and potential threats that conventional methods may overlook. This proactive approach not only aids in detecting fraudulent activities but also minimizes financial and reputational damage. The paper discusses how AI-based anomaly detection works, the types of anomalies it can detect, and the process of integrating AI solutions with existing payment systems. Additionally, it addresses the challenges and limitations of AI-based approaches, such as high false positive rates, data privacy concerns, and the need for continuous adaptation to evolving threats. By overcoming these challenges, businesses can leverage AI to improve fraud detection, ensure regulatory compliance, and foster customer trust. The paper concludes by highlighting future trends in AI for payment security and the importance of ongoing optimization to maintain robust protection against cybercrime.
