Entertainment - GuardianKey

The challenge

Entertainment systems deal with personal and payment information, which requires protection. The business depends on good reputation and in the customer's experience. Unauthorized accesses may compromise the user's privacy and trigger relevant financial losses.

Protect against attacks

Brute force

Innovative brute force detection method.

Account takeover

Contextual and behavioral data are used to identify users.

Automated attacks

Threat intelligence, contextual and behavioral data are used.

Anonymization

Anonymization proxies are listed in the threat intel database.

Credential stuffing

Block authentication attempts even if the password matches.

Password guessing

Approach to detect and block password guessing.

The solution

GuardianKey Auth Security provides an intelligent approach to protect the authentication in your systems and services. It requires minor changes and is frictionless. Your Stronger Authentication!

How GuardianKey works

The detection engine uses Machine Learning and our secret mathematical risk formula to combine the following three analysis approaches:

Threat Intelligence
Behavioral Profiling
Psychometric Profiling (or Behavioral Biometrics Profiling)¹

Using these three pillars, our engine computes a risk for each event sent by the protected systems.

In real time, the online attempt can be blocked, an extra requirement can be requested to the user, or notifications can be triggered.

¹ Currently available only for our Android SDK.

GuardianKey in action

The protected system (your system) sends events via HTTP-REST for the GuardianKey engine on each login attempt.

GuardianKey returns a risk level and a suggested action (ACCEPT, NOTIFY, HARD-NOTIFY, or BLOCK).

Your system or GuardianKey can notify your users about accesses in their accounts. Also, high-risk attempts can be blocked.

Notified users can tell if the attempts were legitimate or not. In the affirmative case, GuardianKey learns for future analysis, otherwise, your security team can be notified.

GuardianKey has a simple API and reference implementations to simplify the integration. Only a few code lines are required to enable the integration. It is also possible to use a reverse proxy, which dismisses coding.

GuardianKey protects your systems against the following threats: Account Takeover, Automated attacks, Brute-force attacks, Anonymization, among others.

Features

No Hardware

No token, mobile or other device is required.

Easy deployment

Only a couple of code lines is needed. It is also possible to use a reverse proxy.

Real time

The authentication attempts are treated and available for visualization in real time.

Transparent

Less friction! The user is not required to use 2nd factors or extra actions.

High ROI

Improves the security with low costs and low efforts.

High security

The state-of-the-art approach based on Machine Learning and risk assessment to protect the authentication process.

Analyzing the results

GuardianKey has a panel that enables the administrator to:

View logged authentication attempts.
Analyze graphs about authentication risks and events.
Explore users and events.
Set-up policies, authentication groups, notification preferences, etc.

GuardianKey can also send the processed events to a WebHook via REST or directly to your log system (e.g., a SIEM).
