Its comprehensive solution integrates proprietary device identification (device ID), behavioral analysis, phishing protection, email intelligence, scraping prevention, API defense, and bot management. The platform is utilized by major consumer brands, including two of the top three banks, Microsoft, Meta, and Roblox, to prevent account takeovers, fake account creation, LLM-driven scraping, and SMS toll fraud.
