Summary

Velocity Signals is a sophisticated tool designed to enhance fraud detection by monitoring and analyzing key metrics related to user activity, helping businesses quickly identify and respond to potential threats. It operates on three levels—per VisitorID, per LinkedID, and per IP—providing a granular view of activity that can indicate suspicious behavior such as account sharing, geo-location based fraud, and automated attacks. By tracking data points like the number of distinct IP addresses or countries associated with a visitorID over intervals of 5 minutes, 1 hour, and 24 hours, Velocity Signals assists businesses in making informed and timely decisions to mitigate fraud risks. Integrated seamlessly into existing fraud prevention workflows, it is available to all customers with Fingerprint Smart Signals access, offering a comprehensive approach to safeguarding online platforms against fraudulent activities.
