Abstract
Insurance fraud poses a threat to the stability of market relations, having a devastating impact on the operational efficiency of insurance companies and exacerbating the financial burden on bona fide policyholders. At the same time, rapid digitalization, which brings unprecedented opportunities for optimizing operational processes and expanding customer service, is also radically transforming the nature of fraudulent activity, equipping attackers with fundamentally new tools and channels for implementing more sophisticated, scalable, and difficult-to-detect schemes, such as manipulating digital traces and data, staging events using deepfake technologies, or exploiting vulnerabilities in complex information systems and distributed ledgers. This fundamentally changes the conditions for counteraction and, as a result, creates new challenges for insurance companies and law enforcement agencies, necessitating a fundamental restructuring of their strategies and tactics. The paper presents innovative solutions for effectively combating insurance fraud in the context of digitalization.
