Arkose Labs protects businesses across industries from IRSF

Stop IRSF Fraud Targeting One-Time-Password Authentication

More and more businesses are reporting spiralling costs due to International Revenue Share Fraud (ISRF), whereby attackers hijack multi-factor authentication (MFA) for monetary gain. This originated as a scam targeting telecom companies, but now is affecting businesses of various industries as they look to secure digital accounts using voice and SMS one-time passwords (OTP).

IRSF happens when cybercriminals illegally infiltrate telecom operator’s networks or use rogue carriers to redirect calls and texts to premium rate numbers. They then use automated attacks on digital touchpoints that trigger OTP, such as account sign-ups and logins, earning a per-transaction payout of $1 or more. Read about what International Revenue Share Fraud (IRSF) means here.

ZeroBot Guarantee

The Arkose Labs solution is so effective at rooting out automated attacks, that it is backed by an SLA guarantee. This provides commercial assurance that it will defeat bots attacks within a set timeframe, protecting your users from phishing scams, malicious messages and other forms of abuse.

Arkose Labs Prevents Costly Downstream Losses

The problem with IRSF is that oftentimes it is not detected until it is too late and fraudsters have already done their damage. It’s challenging for businesses to get visibility into these attacks early enough to prevent them, as fraudsters have access to a range of tools to abuse consumer touchpoints and bypass traditional anti-bot defenses.
Arkose Labs helps businesses detect bogus account sign-ups and malicious logins, and eliminate the persistent attacks on user touchpoints that trigger OTP verifications.
