Talib Al Al-Khazaali Department of Computer Techniques Engineering University of AlKafeel Al-Najaf, Iraq Sajjad H. Hasan Due to the very high direct or indirect costs of fraud, banks and financial institutions seek to accelerate the recognition of the activities of fraudsters. The reason for this is its direct effect on serving the customers of these institutions, reducing operating costs and remaining as a reliable and valid financial service provider. On the other hand, in recent years, with the development of information and communication technology, electronic banking has become very popular. In the meantime, it is inevitable to use fraud detection techniques to prevent fraudulent actions in banking systems, especially electronic banking systems. In this paper, a method has been developed that leads to the improvement of fraud detection in information security and cyber defense systems. The main purpose of fraud detection systems is to predict and detect false financial transactions and improve the intrusion detection system using information classification. In this regard, the genetic algorithm, which is known as one of the stochastic optimization methods, is used. At the end, the results of the genetic algorithm have been compared with the results of the decision tree classification and the regression tree. The simulation results show the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.   2024 2024 19 27 10.54216/FPA.140102 https://www.americaspg.com/articleinfo/3/show/2220
