Improving Financial Cybersecurity Through Fraud Transaction Detection with Deep Learning

Financial fraud detection remains a critical challenge in cybersecurity, with traditional rule-based systems struggling to keep pace with evolving attack patterns. This paper presents a deep learning approach for fraud transaction detection, leveraging neural network architectures to identify anomalous financial behaviors with high accuracy. We evaluate multiple deep learning models including LSTM, CNN, and hybrid architectures on real-world financial transaction datasets, demonstrating significant improvements over conventional machine learning baselines. Our approach achieves robust performance in detecting fraudulent transactions while minimizing false positives, providing a scalable solution for enterprise financial cybersecurity systems

Abstract

Financial fraud detection remains a critical challenge in cybersecurity, with traditional rule-based systems struggling to keep pace with evolving attack patterns. This paper presents a deep learning approach for fraud transaction detection, leveraging neural network architectures to identify anomalous financial behaviors with high accuracy. We evaluate multiple deep learning models including LSTM, CNN, and hybrid architectures on real-world financial transaction datasets, demonstrating significant improvements over conventional machine learning baselines. Our approach achieves robust performance in detecting fraudulent transactions while minimizing false positives, providing a scalable solution for enterprise financial cybersecurity systems
