Feedzai is a Behavioral Biometrics Leader for Online Fraud Prevention

A growing share of financial institutions are implementing behavioral biometrics technology to continuously verify and authenticate customers’ identities at each stage of their online session. With behavioral biometrics technology in place, banks implement an advanced tool in their online fraud prevention efforts. Behavioral biometrics technology continuously monitors and analyzes users based on a wide range of unique identifiers. This includes a user’s typing speed and rhythm, touchscreen interactions, mouse movements, and more. The technology can be used to prevent account takeover (ATO) fraud, account opening fraud, social engineering scams, detect money mule activity, and malware attacks, among other fraud schemes. 

Here’s why Feedzai’s was recognized as a behavioral biometrics technology leader by Quadrant Knowledge Solutions’ SPARK Matrix™ report.

Behavioral Biometrics Takes Center Stage in Online Fraud Prevention

Digital identity has become a highly fluid concept. The massive expansion of the online banking ecosystem allows customers to log into their bank accounts from any place in the world, using their device of choice and from any channel (web, mobile, call center, etc.). Customers expect to access their accounts seamlessly, conduct their business, and make transactions, all without experiencing any delays.

Unfortunately, that same seamless experience is also being exploited by fraudsters. Using either stolen credentials, malicious malware, or other tactics, fraudsters can find different vulnerabilities to either commit ATO fraud or hijack a legitimate user’s banking session. In the face of this new reality, financial institutions need to continuously verify customers’ identities at every stage of their digital session.

Behavioral biometrics are a game-changer in the fight against financial crime. Behavioral biometric technology leverages advanced analytics and machine learning to assess a user’s data from multiple channels. The technology then builds a risk profile that enables risk professionals to identify and block any suspicious behavior in real-time.
