Stop fake account creation attacks that start with risky email addresses
The problem is clear: Current systems often fail to detect low-and-slow tactics that bypass rate-limiting protections.
Cybercriminals are increasingly exploiting email addresses as a gateway for fraud, using them to create fake accounts and orchestrate scams. Our team estimates that billions of dollars of the fraud reported by the IC3 started at sign-in or sign-up, much of it fake email-driven account creation.
The problem is clear: Current systems often fail to detect low-and-slow tactics that bypass rate-limiting protections.
Arkose Email Intelligence, part of the Arkose Titan platform, disrupts this cycle by providing advanced email risk detection, enabling businesses to catch fraudulent activity at the point of sign-up and prevent it from escalating downstream.
Arkose Email Intelligence is a powerful enhancement to Arkose Bot Manager, a core component of Arkose Titan, that offers comprehensive protection for sign-up and guest checkout processes. Traditional email intelligence tools are often standalone solutions, which limits their ability to systematically interpret findings for downstream mitigation tools. They also cannot correlate with application or web session data, making it difficult to confidently flag and stop threats without disrupting the user experience. In contrast, Arkose Email Intelligence integrates email risk detection with our advanced fraud detection intelligence, providing a paired and holistic interpretation of the web session and email's legitimacy, effectively addressing both automated bot attacks and human-driven attacks.
The power is in the integration: Arkose Email Intelligence feeds risk data directly into the Arkose Titan platform and Arkose Bot Manager's decision engine. Arkose Bot Manager then correlates email risk with device fingerprinting, IP reputation and behavioral signals to give you a complete threat picture—and automatically enforces the right action.
Bottom line: You're not just validating emails—you're stopping both automated bot attacks AND sophisticated human fraud actors using risky emails. Arkose Bot Manager stops the attack method; Arkose Email Intelligence identifies the fraudulent identity.

Arkose Email Intelligence adds critical risk signals that Arkose Bot Manager can act on:
Where and How We Protect: Three Critical Protection Points
Prevent bad actors and bots from using fake, throwaway or other high-risk email addresses. Arkose Labs shares the risk decision for immediate action, along with the email metadata behind the risk score, for downstream and future protection. Suggested actions offer guidance on handling traffic based on the risk signature.
Safeguard consumer privacy while preventing fraudulent account creation. Gain a multi-point perspective on new-user risk potential through basic device characteristics, IP and email intelligence data shared via API. Arkose Email Intelligence complies with all applicable data privacy laws, including GDPR and CCPA.
Adding email risk assessment offers a cost-effective solution for stopping high-risk interactions from the start. In conjunction with Arkose Bot Manager, you can validate every new registration without compromising the experience for genuine users, while reducing downstream fraud detection and remediation costs.
Real-Time Risk Assessment: When an email address is seen for the first time (without compromising privacy), Arkose Email Intelligence delivers:
Present an Arkose Challenge. Ask for different email. Phone verification. Shadow ban accounts.
Email risk score. 40+ email-specific signals. Risk attributes and reason codes.
Suggested actions for treating risky emails based on attack type. Customers may opt to enforce mitigation challenges based on established logic.
Automated patterns. Domain age. Velocity signals triggered. Abnormal handle composition. MX record not found.
Arkose Email Intelligence operates in real time, analyzing more than 40 signals across 7 vectors all related solely to the email address:
The Arkose Labs proof of value (POV) process offers your business a hands-on opportunity to experience the platform's capabilities. During the POV with production traffic, Arkose Labs provides expert guidance and consultation tailored to your specific needs, ensuring you can test the platform's effectiveness in real-world scenarios. This process allows your business to define and track its own success metrics, such as agent traffic recognized, fraud reduction, improved user experience or cost savings, giving you a clear view of the value Arkose Email Intelligence can deliver.
We understand the challenges of securing engineering time, which is why Arkose Labs is designed for effortless integration. If you use a CDN like Cloudflare or Akamai, our pre-built CDN workers let you deploy without code changes to your application. If you are already a customer, our integration is ready to go, requiring minimal effort on your part.
Arkose Labs operates as an extension of your team, rapidly countering attacks and providing actionable insights without overburdening your internal resources. The Arkose Cyber Threat Intelligence Research (ACTIR) unit conducts proactive threat hunting, risk intelligence gathering and other counterintelligence methods to provide vital, fresh intelligence. Meanwhile, the 24/7/365 Security Operations Center (SOC) team focuses on identifying and immediately stopping both sophisticated low-and-slow attacks and large-scale attacks. The SOC continuously monitors for new threats and collaborates with ACTIR, which improves the accuracy and timeliness of your defense.
