SAS® Social Network Analysis 6.2m4

Accessibility Conformance Report

SAS® Social Network Analysis (hereafter ‘the software’) is a network visualization interface for fraud investigators to discover previously unknown relationships between customers and other individuals, including potential risky connections. Using the analytics available in the SAS® Fraud Framework, investigators can determine the risk profile for each customer and develop a risk score for all associated networks by applying behavioral data.
