About Cleafy

 

 

Cleafy was founded in 2014 to protect financial institutions from digital fraud and cyber-enabled financial crime. It now supports more than 173 banks globally across real-time fraud intelligence and response.

AI has scaled fraud to industrial volume. Fraud operations have not scaled with it. Banks now face more fraud signals than operational teams can investigate, turning investigation capacity into the main constraint in fraud defence.

Nyx is the platform that enables Autonomous Fraud Ops.

It does not replace human judgment. It replaces an operating model that can no longer keep pace with modern fraud activity.

The goal is to give fraud operations teams the ability to match the scale, speed, and sophistication of AI-driven fraud without increasing headcount. This enables fraud operations centres to run continuously, with analysts focused on strategy, escalation, and intervention rather than manual triage.

Cleafy FxDR captures the raw signals of fraud as it unfolds across digital channels. Nyx operates on top of this intelligence layer and turns those signals into continuous autonomous investigation.

Every signal is processed as it is triggered. AI agents reconstruct full attack chains across users, devices, sessions, and transactions, removing the need for manual case assembly or prioritisation.

Each investigation is connected into a wider structure. Nyx builds a continuous operational view of financial crime, linking individual cases into coordinated attack campaigns and surfacing emerging patterns across the entire portfolio.

This moves fraud operations from isolated alert handling to campaign-level understanding of attacker behaviour, how it spreads, and where intervention will have the most impact.

Investigations that previously required hours are completed in under four minutes. That shift removes backlog-driven selection of cases and enables full coverage of fraud activity in real time.
Nyx also performs continuous threat hunting across live data, identifying campaigns that have not yet been flagged and tracking how attacker behaviour changes across channels. This allows fraud teams to respond to coordinated activity earlier, rather than reacting after financial loss has occurred.

At its core, Nyx operates as an agentic cyber fraud defence system. It functions as an autonomous analyst capability running continuously with human oversight and control. Investigation, correlation, and campaign detection are handled by the system, while fraud teams focus on response and strategy.

This capability is built on Cleafy’s real-time fraud intelligence layer, used by more than 170 banks globally. It is based on a white-box knowledge graph that structures behavioural and transactional data into explainable signals. This creates a consistent, high-fidelity foundation for autonomous investigation across institutions.

The result is the emergence of Autonomous Fraud Ops as a new operating model for financial crime defence, where banks can keep pace with AI-driven fraud without scaling operational headcount at the same rate, closing the gap between detection and response.”
