Arkose Labs Bankrupts the Business of Fraud
As long as there is profit to be made, cybercrime will continue to grow. Arkose Labs mitigates attacks by sabotaging an attackers’ ROI and making it uneconomical to attack companies in our network. This is a fundamental shift from attack prevention to attack deterrence.
Global finance companies trust Arkose Labs to detect and deter attacks at user authentication touchpoints, allowing them to save money on costly fraud losses and improve their return on investment. By rooting out crime early, companies are able to strengthen relationships with customers by offering an increasingly secure financial platform without sacrificing a positive user experience, while also reducing operational costs.

Our AI-powered platform defeats persistent bots and coordinated human attacks on the most targeted user touchpoints on websites and apps. Invisible risk assessments allow good users to pass through seamlessly.

Arkose Labs takes a storytelling approach to cyberattacks. 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
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.

User Behavioral Analysis

Customer Data Exchange
