Darwinium

What is the #edge and why is it the new home for #accountsecurity and #fraudprevention? Asaas deployed Darwinium at the edge, via AWS CloudFront, to protect their entire customer journey via one simple deployment. With this deployment method, Asaas protected 20 individual touchpoints, across 8 user journeys, in just 1 month, removing reliance on engineering resource to deploy new solutions. The benefits of deploying Darwinium via your Content Delivery Network (CDN) include: 💡Complete account security: fraud controls sit in front of your web traffic and are therefore able to view, enrich, decision and act on everything that happens across a user’s online journey.  💡Visibility everywhere: cover pre-authentication activity, such as browsing, to account creation, login, details changes, checkout and payments. 💡Reduced latency: decisions are superfast and scalable, run within miles of your end user, using CDN infrastructure. 💡The option to encrypt and store end-to-end customer data within your own infrastructure 💡Cost efficiency of reducing IT and engineering resource.

PYMNTS recently covered the pitch-perfect #ai-powered scams targeting holidaymakers as we approach prime holiday season in the US and Europe, with insight from our CEO Alisdair Faulkner. We've seen several extremely convincing examples targeting the Darwinium team recently, including those that threaten the cancellation of a long-awaited trip due to incorrect payment details, and fake / spoofed property listings. Alisdair notes that "fraudsters will often try to move a victim away from a trusted platform’s payment protocols and ask them to make a direct payment from their bank to the fraudster.” Always question any requests that arrive in your inbox or messages that are asking for personal or sensitive information. And check directly with the organization you made the booking with. Any interesting examples of recent travel scams that you've seen that we should be aware of?

We’re currently working with a global gaming company that has increased the recognition rate for returning users to 99.95% using Darwinium #DigitalSignatures. The company found that fraudsters bypass existing controls to repeatedly sign up for new player bonuses. This included: • Use of automated tools to sign up for mass bonus tokens. • Cookie wiping/use of private browsing to bypass device recognition intended to restrict abuse of multiple new player bonuses. • Use of proxies/emulators to trick the system into generating multiple new bonus tokens. • Use of a captcha solver to bypass protections in place. Darwinium digital signatures simplified the identification of these #BonusAbuse behaviors, allowing the gaming company to uncover new patterns of unwanted behaviors and fraudulent networks that other solutions missed, without inconveniencing good customers. The link is in the comments if you’d like to read the full case study. Drop us a line if you would like to see a demo of digital signatures in action. Rebekah Moody, Ed Whitehead, Tyler M.

Datos Insights recently profiled Darwinium in their Q2 2024 Risk Insights and Advisory Fintech Spotlight. Here's what they had to say about the technology: "Darwinium is at the forefront of revolutionizing the fight against online fraud and cybersecurity threats. At the core of its innovative approach is the concept of digital signatures, which combines device fingerprinting and #BehavioralBiometrics to reliably identify users in an increasingly privacy-conscious digital landscape. Darwinium’s #BehavioralIdentification method addresses the challenge of recognizing returning users and separating trusted customers from potential risks in a world where traditional fingerprinting techniques are becoming obsolete. What makes Darwinium even more noteworthy is its ability to deploy security and #FraudPrevention capabilities directly at the network edge via its CDNs. This architectural innovation allows for fast, scalable risk decisions without the latency and engineering overhead of traditional deployment methods. Furthermore, Darwinium's privacy-centric approach, pushing data classification, encryption, and anonymization to the edge, safeguards both businesses and end users. With powerful machine-learning capabilities, proactive anomaly detection, and full visibility into digital user journeys, Darwinium is arming enterprises with a solution that can enable them to stay ahead of evolving AI-powered threats and keep abreast of the complex regulatory environment."To read the full profile, check out the link in the comments.
