Risk & Authentication Services

iovation verifies whether a customer who just entered their password to log into their online account is using an authorized device-such as a laptop or mobile phone. Simultaneous checks are run by iovation to look for risk indicators such as device imperson-ation, identification evasion or behavioral anomalies. Devices recognized as authorized and low-risk gain access transparently, eliminating friction for trusted users. High-friction traditional second factor methods can still be used for authorizing new or unauthorized devices.
