THE CHALLENGES

Card stuffing attacks at volume, with bad actors attempting to validate stolen and generated card numbers across the company's network of sites.
Legacy CAPTCHA solution bypassed by bots using machine vision technology, while simultaneously creating friction for legitimate consumers.
Existing defenses failed to stop sophisticated automated and human-driven attacks, allowing bad actors to disrupt operations and drive financial losses.
Needed cross-site data visibility and actionable fraud insights that the prior solution could not provide.

THE ARKOSE TITAN SOLUTION

Arkose Titan deployed across the company's network of sites, combining real-time risk signals, advanced analytics, and adaptive enforcement challenges to stop both automated and human-driven attacks.
Arkose MatchKey challenges made automated attacks prohibitively expensive and time-consuming, stopping advanced bots including those leveraging AI and machine vision technologies.
Human fraud attempts frustrated through escalating challenge difficulty, making attacks costly and economically unviable.
Actionable fraud insights delivered to the security team, enabling faster response to emerging threats and streamlined collaboration across internal teams.

”

We needed a more robust solution; we weren't getting any insights into the data with our old solution. Arkose Labs provided us with custom data and insights that we can share across teams internally.
