Card Testing

Card testing has resurfaced with renewed vigor. See why the most effective defense against card testing attacks is a comprehensive bot management solution.

Stop the validation of stolen credit card data while protecting your brand

As card testing and payment fraud continue to surge globally, it's crucial to reassess your current security measures. The Arkose Titan platform sets itself apart with sophisticated technology that detects and eliminates malicious bots in real time, transforming your security strategy from reactive to proactive.

Arkose Titan for Card Testing

Coordinated Intelligence Across the Stack

Arkose Titan's unified API coordinates device fingerprinting, behavioral analysis, email risk scoring and challenge-response mitigation in real time. When authorization velocity patterns flag rapid small-value testing attempts, the engine identifies card validation campaigns and risk signals flow instantly to downstream fraud tools.

Challenge Technology Built for AI Resistance

Our next-gen challenges combine Proof-of-Work computation with multimodal reasoning tasks that cost attackers via LLM vision APIs. Each challenge adds substantial time per attempt, and with multiple retries required, bot operators testing stolen card databases burn through compute budgets fast.

Device Intelligence That Remembers

Multi-layered device identification tracks returning devices while behavioral biometrics establish baseline patterns for mouse movements, typing cadence and interaction velocity. Real-time signals create risk assessments accurate enough to pass 99% of legitimate users with zero challenges.

Transparent Decisioning for Security Teams

Every authentication generates detailed telemetry: 175+ telltale rules showing why we assigned each risk score, complete device intelligence and behavioral analysis. Security teams see our decision logic as it happens, enabling immediate investigation.

Consortium Intelligence Multiplier

Card testing campaigns and validation infrastructure identified at one customer instantly inform protection across our network. When Arkose Labs detects new stolen card databases, bot-driven testing patterns or merchant checkout exploitation techniques, every customer benefits from updated detection rules.
