Arcot Fraud Prevention Network
Stop fraud faster by sharing fraud data automatically
The Arcot Fraud Prevention Network (AFPNet) enables you to incorporate secure, privacy-protected data sharing into your environment to help stop online fraud before it happens. With a network of millions of transactions and thousands of financial institutions and other enterprises, we have a vast collection of online fraud data with which to monitor emerging threats in the network, extrapolate fraud trends and immediately share that information with the network members.
Arcot DeviceDNA technology creates a “tagless” fingerprint using a wide range of parameters to uniquely identify individual machines. DeviceDNA fingerprints computers, mobile phones and PDAs, and tracks suspicious behavior at the device level. Arcot also provides a DeviceID tag for every device. When combined, DeviceDNA and DeviceID can uniquely identify a device with very high confidence.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Real-time protection - The AFPNet can detect and prevent fraud at the individual machine, IP address, and payment card levels and provide continuous real-time feedback between the network and the members.
- Tracks suspicious behavior on “gray list” - When questionable activity occurs on a particular device, IP address or payment card, it is added to the AFPNet suspicious activity list known as the gray list. The gray list is automatically shared with all of the AFPNet members in real-time.
- User customization – Each member can take action against fraud based on their individual fraud policies and risk tolerance.
- Expansive network - Enhances fraud prevention with data from a diverse population of industries.
- Maintains user familiarity – The Arcot Fraud Prevention Network is transparent to legitimate users.
The AFPNet is open to all RiskFort risk-based authentication customers whether they are using our A-OK Service or they have RiskFort installed on premise. There is a fee for member participation.
