Insurance fraud has existed since the beginning of insurance as a commercial enterprise. Insurers are expected to adopt a holistic approach to adequately identify, measure, control and monitor fraud risk and accordingly lay down appropriate risk management policies and procedures. Insurance fraud is a deliberate act committed with the intent to obtain an illegitimate financial gain from an insurance policy. Different types of insurance fraud activities happen in the world of insurance. Fraud not only damages the trust relationship, in the worst case it jeopardizes the continuity of your enterprise. Insurance fraud puts insurance businesses at risk. Thus, insurers should proactively embrace the latest technologies and solutions to safeguard their business. AI and machine learning technologies can streamline the insurance claims process and allocate human resources for decision-making work. Effectively combating insurance fraud has far-reaching benefits for both insurance companies and policyholders.

Homeland security is rarely just a matter of the homeland; it involves the circulation and multiplication of policing practices across borders. Though the term "homeland security" is closely associated with the United States, Israel is credited with first developing this all-encompassing approach to domestic surveillance and territorial control. Today, it is a central node in the sprawling global homeland security industry worth hundreds of billions of dollars. And in the wake of the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks, India emerged as a major growth market. Known as "India's 9/11" or simply "26/11," the attacks sparked significant public pressure to adopt "modern" homeland security approaches. S...
