Loyalty Fraud

Discover how Arkose Bot Manager combats loyalty point theft with advanced bot detection and mitigation, ensuring seamless online interactions and top-tier security.

Defend your reward programs and stop loyalty point theft

Credential stuffing attacks are draining loyalty programs at scale, with up to 5% of frequent travelers reporting compromised accounts and individual losses reaching up to $5,000 in stolen points, according to LSA and Arkose Labs research. Arkose Titan disrupts this fraud economy by escalating attacker costs across every dimension. Each defense layer compounds operational expenses while legitimate members access rewards seamlessly, making loyalty fraud operations economically unviable.

Arkose Titan for Loyalty Fraud

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 device intelligence flags anomalies, the engine automatically calibrates difficulty 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, fraud operations targeting reward programs 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

Threat patterns identified at one customer instantly inform protection across our network. When Arkose Labs spots new threats, every customer benefits from updated detection rules.

ACTIR and the Arkose Labs SOC: Proactive Defense

Arkose Labs operates as an extension of your team, rapidly countering attacks and providing actionable insights without overburdening your internal resources. The Arkose Cyber Threat Intelligence Research (ACTIR) unit conducts proactive threat hunting, risk intelligence gathering and other counterintelligence methods to provide vital, fresh intelligence, while the 24/7/365 Security Operations Center (SOC) team focuses on identifying and stopping large-scale attacks immediately. The two teams run a continuous feedback loop that improves the accuracy, timeliness and effectiveness of your defense.

Arkose Labs in Action: Travel Site Protects Business-Critical Loyalty Points

A major travel booking site faced persistent threats from cybercriminals using bots to commit credential stuffing at scale in order to compromise user accounts and steal accrued loyalty points. The company implemented Arkose Bot Manager and successfully curtailed nearly all ATO attacks without disrupting the login process for legitimate members, significantly enhancing the overall customer experience.

Arkose Labs Results:

  • Attacks stopped virtually immediately
  • No impact on good user login flow
  • Increased operational efficiencies

Arkose Labs enables us to continue to deliver the great digital experience our customers have become used to, while eliminating fraud attacks and malicious bots.
