The ThreatMetrix™ Cybercrime Defender Platform is the first industry solution that integrates sophisticated malware detection and advanced device identification technologies in a single, unified platform.
We think that this unified approach to cybersecurity is a game changer. By integrating malware detection and device identification with shared, centralized intelligence, ThreatMetrix delivers the unique ability to minimize the risk in online transactions.
The ThreatMetrix Cybercrime Defender Platform integrates security and fraud into one overall context – increasing the effectiveness of each individual part.
Protecting online transactions, accounts and identities
Securing an online transaction requires layered defenses:
- Device identification: Ensure that the person is who they claim to be, and not impersonating someone else with stolen credentials or credit cards
- Device and identity reputation: Get first-time protection against known or suspected cybercriminals in real-time
- Malware detection: Discover any malware interfering with the transaction session itself, such as Man-in-the-Browser attacks
- Malware protection: Ensure that any malware on the customer’s computer is prevented from interfering with the transaction (key loggers, etc.)
- Enterprise policy engine: Provide centralized intelligence and control across all customer interactions from New Account Originations to Logins to Payments
Each individual component is necessary, but not sufficient, for transaction protection. When you put them together and share intelligence between them, you can at last easily minimize the risk of an online transaction. And that’s what the ThreatMetrix Cybercrime Defender Platform does.
Close the gaps for cybercriminals
Most businesses deploy device identification and malware detection (if any) as separate solutions from different vendors. As a result, the criminal activity uncovered by each solution resides in different silos, and doesn’t deliver a common view of devices across systems. This makes it easier for cybercriminals to slip through the gaps in coverage. The overall strategy is inefficient, costly and incomplete.
The ThreatMetrix Cybercrime Defender Platform goes beyond combining malware detection and device identification – it supplements the combined solution with intelligence and analysis across the platform and throughout a global network of sites sharing fraud information.
By choosing an integrated solution, you gain the benefits of unified intelligence, simplified implementation and deployment, and better overall coverage. Most importantly, using integrated malware and device identification allows good customers to proceed with legitimate transactions while screening out fraudsters and criminals activity.
