Through innovative research, a decade of data, and proven results, BioCatch risk models analyze a user’s physical and cognitive digital behavior to distinguish between genuine users and criminals in order to detect fraud and identity theft and to improve customer experience. By profiling user behaviors such as mouse movements, typing cadence, swipe patterns or device orientation, the BioCatch platform, powered by machine learning, identifies statistically observed norms for “good” and “bad” behavior.

- Dont’ have familiarity with data
- Repeatedly delete and fix errors
- Rely on copy and paste, or automated programs
- Familiarity with new account opening process and online form
- Different pace and navigation patterns
- Display the use of long-term memory
- Hesitate around fields criminals confidently fill
- Use the AutoFill feature for personal details.
