Stop Payment Fraud Attacks

Payment fraud is a lucrative business for cybercriminals, causing billions of dollars’ worth of annual losses to businesses around the globe. Many businesses tolerate fraud losses as a ‘cost of doing business’ in the digital age, fearing that more robust security measures will introduce friction and negatively impact conversion rates. Unfortunately, this perpetuates the problem by providing the financial incentive for fraudsters worldwide.

Organizations need a smarter approach that can help them strike an optimal balance between user experience and defend against large-scale fraud and abuse.

Arkose Labs Solution for Payment Fraud

The Arkose Labs Fraud and Abuse Defense Platform combines risk-based decisioning and intelligent step-up authentication to slash payment fraud rates. Real-time risk assessments inform a unique challenge-response system, which delivers targeted friction in order to eliminate unauthorized payment attempts.

The Fraud and Abuse Defense Platform uses a combination of Arkose Detect and Arkose Enforce. Arkose Detect carries out real-time risk assessment of users. Using deep device and network forensics in conjunction with behavioral patterns, Arkose Labs validates third party signals, which help prevent unauthorized payments and fund transfers, without disrupting
the user experience for authentic users.

This digital intelligence informs Arkose Enforce, which then presents unique enforcement challenges to risky traffic. The challenge-response mechanism adapts to the risk profile of a transaction and is highly effective at eliminating automated attacks and preventing fraudsters from scaling up human-driven payment fraud.

Genuine users have an opportunity to prove their authenticity but fraudsters are forced to spend more time and resources clearing authentication challenges at scale. This slashes potential profit for fraudsters, compelling them to abandon the attack.
