Arcot Fraud Prevention Network - Overview
360º Fraud Protection

Shared Fraud Data Stops Fraud Faster
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™ and DeviceID Key Building Blocks in Fraud Prevention
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 track 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.

The AFPNet can detect and prevent fraud at the individual machine, IP address, and payment card levels. 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. Each member can take action based on their individual fraud policies and risk tolerance.

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.
