Case Study: Largest Financial Services Group achieves early detection of advanced persistent threats with INETCO Insight

How a Major Financial Institution in Africa Improved Early Warning Fraud Detection at the ATM

Stanchion, a FinTech specialist, was engaged by one of Africa’s largest financial services groups after a major security breach. The client—processing millions of ATM, POS and other transactions—faced sophisticated man‑in‑the‑middle and coordinated attacks and needed a low‑latency, end‑to‑end early‑warning system that would detect front‑end anomalies without degrading payment performance.

In six weeks Stanchion implemented a solution combining its consulting and proprietary IP with INETCO Insight real‑time transaction monitoring, integrating with MasterCard, Visa, the national clearing house and Postilion to trace transactions end‑to‑end without heavy agents or code changes. The platform provides real‑time alerts for high‑velocity, multi‑location and unusually large transactions, enabling accurate early detection of fraud while preserving system performance; the client is now expanding the system to POS and online channels and exploring broader performance and analytics use.
