Amazon Web Services (AWS) has the most services, and more features within those services, than any other cloud provider – from infrastructure technologies like compute, storage, and databases to emerging technologies, such as Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, data lakes and analytics, and Internet of Things. AWS Platform is the glue that holds the AWS ecosystem together. Whether it’s Identity features such as access management and sign on, cryptography, console, builder & developer tools, and even projects like automating all of our contractual billing systems, AWS Platform is always innovating with the customer in mind. The AWS Platform team sustains over 750 million transactions per second. Each day, hundreds of thousands of customers make billions of transactions worldwide on our cloud. They are harnessing the power of AWS to enable innovative applications, websites, and businesses. However, there are always a few people that try to take unfair advantage of a good thing.

The mission of the Fraud Prevention Team is to keep the AWS platform a safe and trusted place for our customers and partners. We achieve this goal by identifying and preventing fraud and abuse for all AWS services, worldwide. Every day fraudsters attempt to steal our services. We use extensive data and machine learning models to build software solutions to detect and prevent such activities.
