Description
What is device fingerprinting?
Device fingerprinting identifies a device from its attributes to recognize returning users and detect fraud.
What are behavioral biometrics?
Behavioral biometrics identify or verify users by how they interact, typing rhythm, mouse movement, swipe patterns.
What is device identity (device ID)?
Device identity (device ID) is a durable, often cryptographic identifier for a device used to establish trust and detect fraud.
What is behavioral analytics?
Behavioral analytics analyzes patterns of user and account activity to detect anomalies and fraud.
What is anomaly detection?
Anomaly detection identifies activity that deviates from established normal patterns, flagging potential fraud or threats.
What is IP intelligence (and geolocation)?
IP intelligence analyzes a connection's IP address for location, reputation, and risk signals to detect fraud. Learn what it reveals and its limits.
What are risk signals (telemetry)?
Risk signals are the data points a fraud engine collects and combines to assess risk. Learn what signals matter and why fusing them beats relying on any one.
What is emulator detection?
Emulator detection identifies when a mobile app is running on an emulator rather than a real device, a common fraud and bot signal. Learn how it works.
What is virtual machine detection?
Virtual machine detection identifies when activity comes from a VM rather than a physical device, a signal fraudsters use to evade detection.
