Fraud.net just made it a lot harder for fraudsters to hide across borders.
The digital risk management provider announced a significant global infrastructure expansion with new cloud deployments in Singapore and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). These upgrades mark a strategic push into the Asia-Pacific (APAC) and Middle East and North Africa (MENA) regions—two rapidly digitizing markets where fraud risks are growing just as fast as digital transactions.
This move deepens Fraud.net’s global reach, which already includes North America, Latin America, and Europe. Now, clients in APAC and MENA can expect faster fraud detection, lower latency, and tighter compliance with local data regulations—key demands in a regulatory landscape where data residency laws are tightening.
Lower Latency, Higher Trust
The new infrastructure will allow businesses to leverage real-time fraud prevention tools with improved performance. By operating directly from local AWS data centers, Fraud.net reduces the need for traffic to ping back and forth between continents, which can shave seconds off transaction times—a major win for sectors like e-commerce, fintech, and digital banking where milliseconds matter.
More importantly, this infrastructure ensures data stays within borders, giving clients full alignment with local compliance mandates—whether that’s Singapore’s PDPA or the UAE’s growing data sovereignty regulations.
“By investing in these key regions, we’re enabling businesses to scale confidently,” said Cathy Ross, President and co-founder of Fraud.net.
Translation: Fraud.net isn’t just showing up—they’re building for permanence.
A Smarter Play with AWS and Marketplace Integration
Part of what enables this expansion is Fraud.net’s strategic use of Amazon Web Services (AWS). By tapping into regional AWS cloud services, the company keeps things scalable and secure while minimizing operational overhead. But there’s also a smart angle for joint customers.
Because Fraud.net is listed on the AWS Marketplace, clients can redeem AWS credits, accelerate procurement, and skip much of the red tape associated with vendor onboarding. In practice, this means faster time-to-deployment and a better ROI on existing cloud investments.
In a competitive space where security vendors often pile on complexity, Fraud.net is going lean—and that’s a competitive edge.
Why It Matters Now
Fraud and financial crime are on the rise globally, with APAC and the Middle East seeing significant jumps in both digital adoption and attack sophistication. According to a recent report by Interpol, fraud was the most reported cybercrime in Southeast Asia in 2024, while the Gulf region has seen a 30% increase in identity fraud attempts year-over-year.
By bringing enterprise-grade fraud prevention closer to these hotspots, Fraud.net is positioning itself as the go-to risk partner for regional financial institutions, telecoms, marketplaces, and insurers—all of whom face increasing pressure to scale securely.
Fraud.net’s expansion isn’t flashy, but it’s highly strategic. With faster fraud detection, full regulatory alignment, and AWS-native flexibility, the company is doing more than just checking boxes—it’s building out the infrastructure of trust in two of the world’s most critical emerging markets.
In the cat-and-mouse game of digital fraud, proximity matters, and Fraud.net just moved a few steps closer to the action.
