Fingerprint | Emerging Tech: The Future of Fraud Prevention

Fingerprint is a device intelligence and fraud prevention platform that evolved from the open-source FingerprintJS project and is now a commercial SaaS product headquartered in Chicago with a globally distributed remote-first team. The platform helps fraud teams recognize devices and browsers with high accuracy by using over 100 device, network, and behavioral signals to assign a persistent visitor ID, even if visitors clear cookies, switch networks, or use privacy modes. It provides real-time risk signals called Smart Signals, which include indicators such as bot activity, VPN use, and browser tampering, without collecting personal data like names or emails, ensuring compliance with GDPR and CCPA. Fingerprint does not replace authentication systems, but rather complements them by offering risk signals and device intelligence, making it useful for payment fraud prevention, account takeover defense, and other security measures. The platform is known for its ease of implementation, allowing teams to go from setup to live identification in under an hour, and offers a 99.9% uptime SLA with a dedicated customer success team.
