The complexity of financial risks is gradually becoming more pronounced, with factors such as changes in laws and regulations, lack of credit assessment, and data loss or leaks in internet financial trading platforms potentially leading directly to financial risks. Employing traditional work models and methods for financial risk management often makes it difficult to achieve the desired risk control outcomes. Currently, big data technology has been widely utilized in the insurance, banking, and other sectors of the financial industry.
