Application Fraud Firewall:

Protecting Higher Ed from Application and Ghost Student Fraud

Voyatek's Application Fraud Firewall is purpose-built for community colleges and four-year institutions.

Application fraud has been steadily increasing since 2020—when the rapid pivot to online classes made it easier for fraudulent admissions and financial aid applications to fly under the radar—and shows no signs of slowing down. Beyond the financial consequences, fraudulent applications create more work for staff, delay application processing, and tie up seats in courses. 

Voyatek’s Application Fraud Firewall, an adaptive-AI, cloud-based solution, proactively assesses student applications using a comprehensive array of public and private data sources. 

Protecting your Institution’s Reputation and Resources

  • A Holistic Approach


    Application Fraud Firewall
    consolidates data from on-premise and cloud-based systems, including admissions CRM, SIS, and LMS, then uses adaptive AI to identify potentially fraudulent applications and actions in real time.

  • Designed for Higher Education


    Developed by a team with decades of experience in higher education, the platform uncovers red flags that generic solutions might miss assessing applicant-specific data points like high school location, graduation dates, fully online enrollment, previously earned credits, and more.

  • Adaptable and Scalable


    Application Fraud Firewall’s algorithms continuously learn and adapt, enabling institutions to stay ahead of emerging fraud tactics.
