How Companies Block Account Takeovers

“What’s really cool is the way you can set up rules. There is a whole bunch of logic that we’ve just started playing with – the velocity checks when you change the device, the amount spent over a month, and so on. It gives us much more confidence that we can safeguard our customers’ accounts in the long run.”

Daniel Martinez

“SEON shows you how much fraud is on the market, and with their help, you can reduce it. Working in real time is a key difference, and to top it off, the customer support is excellent; getting an answer very quickly, in easy-to-understand terms with examples – this is what I expect from a solution.”

FAQ

What is account takeover fraud?

Account takeover fraud occurs when an attacker gains unauthorized access to a user’s account, typically using stolen credentials, session hijacking or social engineering. Once inside, attackers can steal funds, make purchases, access sensitive data or use the account for further fraud.

What role do devices play in ATO detection?

Device intelligence identifies when logins originate from new, spoofed or previously flagged devices. Attackers rarely have access to the victim’s actual device, making device fingerprinting a strong ATO signal.

Can account takeover prevention work without MFA?

Yes. While MFA adds security, SEON’s ATO prevention detects unauthorized access through device, behavioral and network signals, regardless of the authentication method. Organizations without MFA still benefit from layered detection.

How does ATO protection affect user experience?

SEON scores risk silently in the background. Based on your configured thresholds, suspicious sessions can trigger the response defined in your risk framework, including step-up identity verification such as a selfie check or a temporary account freeze until an investigation is complete. Legitimate customers continue with fast, low-friction logins, while high-risk activity is contained immediately.

What signals are most effective for detecting ATO?

Device fingerprint changes, impossible travel, behavioral anomalies, velocity patterns, RAT detection and network characteristics combine to identify unauthorized access with high accuracy.
