THE CHALLENGES
Persistent ATO and New Account Fraud: Sophisticated bot networks used stolen credentials and dark web data to launch credential stuffing attacks and create fake identities for loan application fraud.
Legacy Solution Creating Friction: The incumbent CAPTCHA-focused tool failed to deter automated attacks while simultaneously degrading the experience for legitimate customers — the worst of both outcomes.
Federal Compliance Requirements: As a heavily regulated institution, the bank required verifiable privacy, security, and data management certifications to meet federal banking law obligations.
THE ARKOSE TITAN SOLUTION
Precision Targeting on Login and Sign-Up: Arkose Titan classified traffic by intent in real time, letting legitimate customers through unimpeded while isolating and enforcing against high-risk sessions.
MatchKey Enforcement Challenges: Adaptive step-up challenges defeated both automated bots and human fraud farms, progressively eroding attack profitability without disrupting good users.
24/7 SOC + Custom Threat Intelligence: A dedicated managed services team provided continuous tuning, real-time attack monitoring, and custom insights to keep defenses ahead of evolving threats.
Full Compliance Certification Coverage: ISO/IEC 27001, 27002, 27018, 27701, Type II SOC 1 & SOC 2, and ISAE 3402 certifications met all federal banking privacy and security requirements.
