Proactive account takeover protection
Preventing unauthorized account access is the first line of defense against fraud. Our account takeover solution provides protection against unauthorized access by monitoring user behavior and detecting suspicious activity in real time.
We leverage machine learning, past behavior, and various other signals to identify sophisticated attacks. Once a suspicious login has been identified, we add additional authentication to prevent bad actors from logging in while valid users can continue to access their accounts. Our API also can easily integrate various authentication methods like multi-factor authentication and Captcha to give you control of the user experience.
“We value our long-standing relationship with Expedia Group and their AI-driven solutions that address the ever-evolving needs of business travel and its many stakeholders.”
