Identities are stolen and faked. Login credentials breached. Which is why device reputation is critical when dealing with online transactions. When combined with industry-leading device recognition and intelligence technology, device reputation can be a critical component for preventing online fraud.
What if you immediately knew that a device interacting with your web or mobile app was previously involved with credit application fraud, chargeback fraud, synthetic identity fraud, or some other specific type of fraud? What if you knew that this device was associated with other devices with a known history of fraud?
That’s what we mean by device reputation.
Join us to learn how device reputation:
Stops specific types of online and mobile fraud
Uncovers more fraud with collaborative business subscribers
Uncovers fraud rings and seemingly unrelated incidents of fraud
Benefits your fraud strategy
Watch and learn how iovation’s global consortium of devices and their associations with fraud and abuse, will benefit your organization.

As a device visits your mobile/web
property over time, we need to
recognize it as the same device
Step 1:
DEVICE
RECOGNITION
… …
time
If this device visits other web/mobile
properties, we need to be able to
recognize it as the same device
We must minimize the chance of
mistaking a different device for that
device
• DEVICE RECOGNITION ACCURACY CRITICAL
• LOW FALSE POSITIVE RATE IMPORTANT

Our network is comprised of fraud and
security analysts from the companies
using our services
Step 2:
REPORT
BAD
BEHAVIOR
When one of them confirms that a
particular device or account is involved
in fraud or abuse, they tag it
This establishes a reputation for that
device or account
• 4,000+ Fraud & Security Analysts in our network
• 48M Confirmed Fraud and Abuse Reports placed
iovation Cybercrime Fighting Network
The reputation tag is on the device or
account, not on the individual/person
