SOLUTION BRIEF

Arkose Labs for Retail

Arkose Labs Bankrupts the Business of Cybercrime

Cyberattacks will continue to thrive as long as there is a potential for profit. Arkose Labs undermines the financial incentive behind attacks by sabotaging the ROI of threat actors and rendering the attack fruitless.This is a fundamental shift from attack prevention to attack deterrence.

Global retailers trust Arkose Labs to detect and deter attacks at user authentication touchpoints where account takeover, fake account creation, bonus abuse, inventory hoarding, and scraping originate. By stopping attacks early in the customer life cycle, you’ll reduce stress on the payment flow and have greater confidence it’s a real customer at checkout.

Arkose Labs Attack Deterrence Platform

Our AI-powered platform defeats persistent bots and coordinated human attacks on the most targeted user touchpoints—websites and apps. Invisible risk assessments allow good users to pass through seamlessly and without friction. High-risk traffic is triaged for active attack response using the strongest CAPTCHA in the business, Arkose MatchKey, which deters attackers while also delivering a more secure experience for good users.

This cost-effective solution eliminates the need for hardware, software, and personnel, allowing retailers to save both time and money. Moreover, the automated solutions offered by Arkose Labs reduce costs associated with chargebacks and help protect businesses from financial losses due to cybercriminals. With 20% of customers being Fortune 500 companies, our solutions deliver a strong ROI by improving operational efficiency and reducing the manual effort required to manage security operations.

Arkose Labs Attack Deterrence Platform

Arkose Decision Engine: Big Data & Advanced Analytics

The Arkose Labs platform is centered around an AI-driven decision engine that processes real-time signals with our deep historical intelligence to continually orchestrate a targeted attack response. It continuously evolves from real-time assessments and challenge interaction data, ensuring that genuine users are able to pass seamlessly whilst detecting evolving attack techniques.

Machine Learning Framework

Machine Learning Framework

Embedded machine learning assesses anomalies from real-time signals, historical attack patterns, and 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 cybercrime. Rules and patterning correlates attack 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.

Arkose Global Network

Arkose Labs takes a consortium approach to cyberattacks, leveraging anonymized threat intelligence from over 4.1B IP addresses across a vast global network of customers each year. From day 1, Arkose Labs customers benefit from a database of over 4,000 tell-tale attack patterns.

Arkose Detect: Real-Time Risk Classification

Arkose Detect collects real-time intelligence to unearth cyberattack behavioral patterns across devices, networks, and third-party risk engines. It accurately uncovers the underlying intent of the user, which informs the appropriate attack response.

Device ID & Reputation

Device ID & Reputation

Deep device forensics is used to fingerprint devices based on their characteristics and behavior, while monitoring their integrity over time. It works for desktop, mobile, smart TVs, and gaming consoles.

Network & IP Assessment

Network & IP Assessment

Arkose Labs combines a proprietary IP scoring system with third-party reputation lists to monitor for abnormalities such as spoofing location or using cheap IP addresses.

User Behavioral Analysis

User Behavioral Analysis

Behavioral biometrics such as keystroke, gyroscope, and page familiarity are used to distinguish good user behavior from tell-tale automation and bad human behavior.

Customer Data Exchange

Customer Data Exchange

Our flexible APIs can ingest data from proprietary or third-party risk engines to improve risk assessment accuracy and inform the usage of Arkose Labs’ enforcement challenge.

Arkose Bot Manager: Attack Response & Deterrence

Arkose Bot Manager offers an adaptive approach to attack prevention and account security. Our technology combines highly-transparent detection with targeted attack response to catch fraud early in the customer journey, without impacting good users.

Arkose Bot Manager combines defense-in-depth detection with dynamic attack response to navigate unclear trust signals. When traffic is flagged as suspicious, the Arkose Labs’ platform provides secondary screening and targeted attack response that break the economics of bot and human-driven attacks. Arkose MatchKey collects user interaction data to further validate the user’s intention and deliver truth data back to the decision engine. As a result, fraud and security teams gain the advanced detection power, risk insights, and option for user-friendly enforcement they need to go from bot mitigation to attack deterrence.

REAL-TIME BOT DETECTION

Catch Evolving Attacks with Greater Transparency

Today, bad actors have endless tools and resources to expertly mimic good users and circumvent defenses. Our multi-layered detection aggregates real-time device, network, and behavioral signals on a customer workflow to spot hidden signs of bot and human-driven attacks, such as device and location spoofing.

  • Multi-layered device, IP, and behavioral detection
  • Access to 70+ risk attributes to enrich existing models
  • ML decisioning driven by 150+ global attack signatures
  • 24/7 SOC threat analysis and tuning
Bot Defense

Bot Defense

Suspected bots are presented with a deep bench of challenges that machines are unable to solve. No off-the-shelf technology can be used to solve our challenges, forcing attackers to continuously build AI and waste time and resources.

Human Fraud Challenges

Human Fraud Challenges

Arkose Enforce presents time-absorbing challenges when attackers use human labor to circumvent anti-bot technology. These challenges deliberately waste the time and resources of the cyberattack farm, making it unprofitable.

Risk Score & Real Time Logging
