Arkose Labs Bankrupts the Business of Fraud

As long as there is profit to be made, fraudsters will continue to attack. Arkose Labs bankrupts the business of fraud by sabotaging attackers’ ROI and making it uneconomical to attack companies in our network. This is a fundamental shift from fraud prevention to fraud deterrence.

Global travel companies trust Arkose Labs to detect and deter attacks at user authentication touchpoints where loyalty and payment fraud, scraping, and fake reviews originate. By rooting out fraud early, companies are able to protect conversion rates, regain control over inventory, and maintain a positive user experience to keep customers coming back.

attacks across the Arkose Labs Global Network of customers. Our AI-driven platform evolves models in real-time to rapidly adapt to evolving attacks.

Attack pattern correlation

Attack pattern correlation

Arkose Labs takes a storytelling approach to fraud. Rules and patterning correlates fraud tell-tale signals, velocity and distance, and historical customer behavior to validate whether or not a user’s story checks out.

Response orchestration

Response orchestration

Combining real-time insights with the risk profile of the user, our dynamic defense determines the appropriate step-up challenges for the risk profile. The orchestration hub is supported by a behind-the-scenes team monitoring traffic flow and attack patterns to adjust telltales and enforcement challenges accordingly.
