“While it would technically be possible for all agency programs to allow any executive branch leader to have direct access to all data, doing so would create myriad security risks and provide minimal value. That’s why large private sector companies favor balancing robust security practices with carefully managed access granted to fraud-focused teams. Large private-sector companies don’t rely on small strike teams with broad access to all datasets. Instead, they invest in robust, long-term anti-fraud capabilities that leverage continuous monitoring of fraud signals, cloud-first security models, AI-driven detection, and adaptive risk modeling.” (04/09/25)
