Navan has partnered with DataVisor to integrate real-time fraud protection into its business travel and expense platform. By leveraging AI-driven decisioning and machine learning, Navan aims to detect sophisticated attack patterns and secure high-volume transactions without compromising the seamless user experience required for modern enterprise travel.

How Does DataVisor Secure Navan’s Real-Time Transactions?

Real-time fraud protection is critical for high-growth platforms like Navan that handle complex travel and expense workflows. DataVisor provides a foundation specifically engineered for high-volume environments, ensuring that every transaction is scrutinized for risk instantly. By utilizing a combination of supervised and unsupervised machine learning, the platform identifies emerging threats that traditional rule-based systems might miss.

  • Adaptive fraud detection that scales alongside business growth.
  • Reduction of transactional friction for legitimate corporate travelers.
  • Protection against coordinated attack patterns in the travel sector.

“As attacks become more sophisticated and coordinated, organizations need a fraud platform that can operate with the same speed and intelligence as their business,” said Yinglian Xie, Co-Founder and President of Technology and AI at DataVisor. This partnership highlights how AI-driven decisioning allows Navan to maintain its innovative edge while robustly defending its financial ecosystem.

The modern corporate landscape demands that travel, payments, and expenses function in real-time. As Krithika Ramadoss, Vice President, Fraud Strategy at Navan, noted: “We needed a fraud platform engineered for the environment our products operate in, which is why we chose DataVisor.” This integration ensures that automated expense reconciliation remains secure from the moment a flight is booked to the final reimbursement.

  • 24/7 support and monitoring for global business travelers.
  • Enhanced risk management for NASDAQ-listed Navan (NAVN).
  • Seamless AI-powered reconciliation for finance teams.
