Sumsub has unveiled enhancements to its Fraud Prevention solution through the integration of advanced Device Intelligence, powered by the Fingerprint platform. This development is designed to identify and mitigate threats before they escalate, providing real-time insights into user integrity by analysing device behaviour and network-level data beyond basic IP tracking.
The significance of proactive fraud detection is underscored by internal data revealing that 76% of fraud attempts occur after onboarding, particularly during user activities such as logins, transactions, and profile updates.
This statistic highlights the essential need for continuous risk monitoring throughout the entire customer journey. Device Intelligence addresses this gap by enabling the detection of suspicious behaviour post-KYC (Know Your Customer), which is crucial for high-risk sectors like cryptocurrency, fintech, banking, and e-commerce.
One of the key benefits of Device Intelligence is that it does not collect personal or sensitive information from users. Instead, it gathers only technical parameters such as browser type, operating system, and the use of VPNs or proxies. The integration with Fingerprint also incorporates Smart Signals, which can detect incognito mode, developer tools, and remote access software—indicators of potentially suspicious device usage or network activity.
This combination of behavioural analysis and device fingerprinting significantly reduces false positives, a common issue where legitimate users are inaccurately flagged as suspicious. By improving fraud detection accuracy across the user journey—from sign-up and login to transactions and profile changes—Sumsub’s Device Intelligence aims to safeguard user accounts and maintain platform integrity.
“We are combining our own technology with Fingerprint, a leader in device intelligence," said Andrew Novoselsky, CPO at Sumsub. "Together, our solutions provide greater accuracy and a more complete fraud prevention system, with no coding required on the clients’ side.”
This ease of integration allows organisations to gain deep visibility into user integrity and to stop fraud in real time, thereby preventing monetary losses, operational disruptions, and reputational risks.
As businesses increasingly face sophisticated fraud attempts, the need for comprehensive fraud prevention mechanisms becomes paramount. The collaboration between Sumsub and Fingerprint aims to ensures a seamless user experience, making it a valuable tool for organisations looking to protect their assets while fostering user trust.
