Business value

The functionality will enable the customer to improve fraud management by using attributes like velocities, as well as custom machine learning scores in rules.

Feature details

Some of our biggest customers identified the availability of stateful attributes such as velocities in the rule engine as critical to their fraud strategy. We will enable the definition of custom velocities in the rules language and make them available at the execution runtime of rules.

Customers also identified the ability to make external calls and consume the results in the rules engine as a feature that is needed to bring parity with their existing system. They further want to use this ability to recall scores from their custom AI models. Enabling an external call mechanism will open the doors for a wide variety of customers to use the rules engine in Dynamics 365 Fraud Protection in conjunction with their custom machine learning.

These needs can be satisfied by functionality that allows customers to make external calls from the rules stack. These external calls can be used to:

  • Call a custom velocity calculation hosted in Fraud Protection.
  • Call a custom machine learning scoring endpoint hosted in a location such as Azure Machine Learning.
  • Orchestrate data enrichments.
