Behavioral Biometrics

Behavior‑driven fraud defense across the digital journey

FOCAL Behavioral Biometrics is a behavior‑driven fraud defense layer that profiles how each user truly interacts across the digital journey, from login to high‑risk in‑app actions. By combining continuous behavioral biometrics for real‑time risk profiling such as typing speed, mouse movements, and scroll patterns, with in‑app events, it surfaces emerging fraud early. This helps reduce false positives and supports seamless customer decisions.

Features

Catch fraud the moment behavior turns suspicious

Spot subtle changes in how users behave across the journey, identifying, when normal activity starts to look suspicious so fraud losses can be stopped early.

Real-time behavioral risk assessment

Continuously captures how users behave during active sessions and converts this into behavioral risk scores, so subtle deviations from baseline can trigger actions before fraud escalates.


Cross-session behavioral profiling

Builds persistent behavioral profiles by linking sessions, devices, and channels for each user or entity, helping recognize returning fraudsters and distinguish trusted users from new or high‑risk behaviors even as networks or devices change.

Anomaly pattern detection

Uses ML models to spot unusual behavioral and session patterns such as sudden geo‑changes, unfamiliar interaction styles, or automation‑like consistency, learning from new data to detect emerging fraud methods in real time.

Advanced fraud network detection

Links behaviors, devices, IPs, and entities into graph‑like views that reveal clusters of related risky activity, uncovering coordinated fraud rings and mule networks that would be missed if sessions were assessed in isolation.

Automated action response

Automatically triggers step-up authentication, session challenges, account flags, or case creation when behavioral risk crosses configured thresholds, helping teams intervene on suspicious activity in real time.


Case and workflow management

Provides a centralized dashboard with alert handling, case workflows, and fraud/trust markings on customers, devices, and IPs, helping teams resolve cases faster while maintaining compliance‑ready documentation.

Benefits

Biometrics for enhanced fraud prevention

FOCAL Behavioral Biometrics continuously captures behavioral biometrics and key in‑app events to build rich behavioral profiles and scores, uncovering hidden fraud without disrupting trusted users.

Reduced fraud losses
Spots risky behavior during logins and in‑app events, so account takeover, scams, and mule activity are caught before high‑risk payments occur.
Higher decision accuracy
Builds clear behavioral baselines across sessions and channels, reducing false positives and helping teams focus on alerts that truly matter.
Proactive fraud detection
Uses ML-driven anomaly detection to uncover new patterns, geo shifts, and automation-like sessions that legacy tools miss.
Visibility into hidden networks
Links behaviors, devices, IPs, and accounts to reveal mule networks, synthetic identities, and coordinated fraud rings.

Enhanced customer experience
Applies automated, risk-based actions so only anomalous sessions are reviewed or blocked, while trusted customers move seamlessly.

Faster investigations and audits
Centralizes alerts, cases, and fraud/trust markings in one workspace, enabling quicker resolution and audit-ready reporting.

Fraud We Prevent

How can FOCAL Help Your Organization

Account Takeover Prevention
Use advanced device fingerprinting and Universal ID to recognize unknown or risky devices at login, so account takeover attempts are blocked before they reach sensitive actions.
Money Mule Detection
Build persistent mule profiles with Universal ID by linking repeat logins, device clusters, and risky device histories, helping you surface hidden mule networks behind seemingly unrelated accounts.
Rooted and Jailbroken Device Control
Continuously detect rooted, jailbroken, and tampered devices, bind them to a Universal ID, and automatically restrict logins, registrations, and payouts from these high‑risk environments.
Device Emulation and Spoofing Detection
Use Universal ID and deep device fingerprinting to identify emulators and spoofed device attributes, shutting down synthetic device farms used for fake signups, credential testing, and promo abuse.
Multi-Account Abuse Prevention
Use persistent Universal IDs to link multiple accounts controlled from the same underlying devices or device clusters, exposing duplicate profiles and bonus‑abuse rings even when IPs or cookies change.
Promo and Coupon Abuse Prevention
Link signups, redemptions, and refunds to a Universal ID so devices that repeatedly farm welcome offers and discount codes are detected early and blocked from claiming promotions again.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is Behavioral Intelligence?

    Behavioral Intelligence is FOCAL’s event-level fraud layer that uses behavioral biometrics and journey signals to detect risky behavior across sessions and channels before it results in financial loss.
  • How is this different from device or transactional fraud tools?

    Device intelligence looks at the device, and transaction monitoring looks at payments, while Behavioral Intelligence focuses on how users interact (typing, mouse/touch, navigation) to spot anomalies even when the device and transaction appear normal.
  • What fraud types can Behavioral Intelligence help prevent?

    It helps detect account takeover, application fraud, mule accounts, fake account creation, promo abuse, and social-engineering scams by scoring risk on non‑financial events like logins, profile changes, and device switches.
  • Where in the journey does Behavioral Intelligence add the most value?

    Behavioral Intelligence monitors non‑financial events like onboarding, logins, password resets, profile changes, and device or channel switches, catching ATO, mule, and synthetic identity patterns before any transaction or payout is attempted.
  • What signals does Behavioral Intelligence analyze?

    It analyses typing rhythm, mouse and touch patterns, navigation behavior, event sequences, and network context (IP, geo, VPN/proxy) to build baselines and flag anomalies at session level.
  • Will Behavioral Intelligence add friction for genuine users?

    No. It runs passively in the background, scoring risk on how users interact rather than forcing extra steps, so trusted customers stay seamless while only high‑risk sessions are stepped up or blocked.
