Arkose Device ID

Recognize Every Device. Stop Every Evasion.

AI-enhanced device identification that persists through spoofing, VPNs, and browser resets - so you can trust your returning users and stop fraudsters before they act.

The Problem: Fraudsters Are Getting Better at Hiding

Today's attackers don't just spoof fingerprints; they fragment identities, rotate devices, and exploit privacy tools to stay invisible.

Hide in plain sight

Manipulating device signals to appear as new or low-risk users.

Evade detection by switching devices

Cycling through identities to bypass per-device limits.

Exploit identity fragmentation

Deliberately fragmenting a single device into multiple identities to sidestep controls.

The Solution: Arkose Device ID

Arkose Device ID combines deterministic precision with AI-powered similarity detection, delivering identification that’s both accurate and persistent, even as attackers evolve.

AI-Enhanced Identification

Recognizes devices even as fingerprints change, using machine learning similarity detection alongside proven deterministic methods. No false positives. No blind spots.

Persistent Across Evasion

Maintains accurate device recognition across VPNs, private browsing, cache clearing, and spoofing attempts. Confidence scoring gives you control over precision vs. recall.

Trusted Users Move Faster

Instantly recognize known, validated devices to streamline the experience for legitimate users, with no unnecessary friction for your best customers.

Deeper Threat Visibility

Enrich every session with contextualized risk signals: device age, emulation detection, cookie spoofing flags, coordinated attack patterns, and more.

Every Device Comes With a Risk Score

Device ID doesn't just tell you who's returning; it tells you how risky they are. Every response includes a risk score, a risk band, and the specific signals behind it.
