Case Study: Banco Sabadell achieves 96% fraud detection with minimal false positives with Dell EMC (RSA Transaction Monitoring)

Banco Sabadell fights fraud with transaction monitoring

Banco Sabadell, Spain’s fourth-largest banking group, needed an invisible, real-time layer of fraud and threat detection to complement strong authentication and protect two million customers without degrading the user experience. The bank required a 24x365 anti-fraud operation, low false positives, and a system that learns from past behavior to counter increasingly sophisticated online attacks; they selected Dell EMC’s RSA Transaction Monitoring to meet those needs.

Dell EMC deployed RSA Transaction Monitoring on top of existing strong authentication, using device and behavioral profiling and a real-time risk engine to score and flag high-risk activity. The solution went into production within months, streamlined analysts’ workloads, reduced attempted online attacks, and achieved a 96% fraud-detection rate with only about 1 in 5,000 transactions falsely flagged (~0.02% per month), all with minimal impact on end users.
