Risk Signals

Geo IP Check

Check the risk and reputation of the user’s IP address and determine their ISP’s location. This service is especially useful for stopping the user journey before it starts if the user is attempting to hide their actual location or if their IP address has unusually high velocity that can be attributed to a bot.

Device Check

Examines indicators such as extensive device history, fingerprinting anomalies, usage patterns and emulators.

Phone Number Check
