Result: The outcomes of the research demonstrated that cloud security statistically increases fraud prevention in Nigeria; also, that application security statistically increases fraud prevention in Nigeria. Contributions: it was suggested that Nigerian financial industry should be able to effectively detect fraudulent transactions and prevent them from causing financial or reputational damage to the customers or other financial institutions (FI), also, there should be a special awareness program to educate the public on how to always use strong passwords for their devices to prevent hacking, loss of money, or other resources. Novelties: The variables adopted in this study as well as the sample size, results, and recommendations have not been used by eminent scholars in this manner.
