Launch Week | Fraud & Risk Prevention: Intelligent Rate Limiting, Real-Time Monitoring, and More

To kick off Launch Week, we’re excited to announce several major enhancements to Stytch’s Fraud and Risk Prevention solution, providing even stronger security for your app and users while making the platform easier to use. Read the official blog post for the full breakdown.

Enhanced Data Visualization

The first key dashboard improvement is added data visualization for dashboard activity. Most notably, a new live chart view gives you a quick understanding of traffic health. Filters can be applied on the live chart based on a range of parameters to get insight into traffic trends. The dashboard can display verdict actions, reasons, and detected device types for filtered sets of traffic.

Event Log Filtering

We have upgraded our device fingerprinting logs to be easier to navigate and filter by time frame or other parameters. This makes it so you no longer have to know the specific telemetry ID to view a particular verdict.

Streamlined Rule Creation

We’ve also made creating custom rules easier and more intuitive. You can now use an existing fingerprint to easily create an authorization rule. You can initiate the rule creation process directly from the dashboard, selecting an action and expiration for the targeted parameter without losing context.

Dynamically Weighted Intelligent Rate Limiting

Intelligent Rate Limiting (IntRL) has been improved under the hood to provide better accuracy on detecting low-volume traffic. As a quick overview, Intelligent Rate Limiting is a feature that automatically rate limits attacks on applications by leveraging a dynamic set of device and traffic sub-signals that more accurately predicts fraudulent traffic than traditional rate limiting strategies like IP addresses.

By refining our internal parameters used to determine when and who to rate limit, we've improved precision in detecting low-profile fraudulent activity, not just high-velocity attacks.

Backend SDKs

Our Fraud and Risk Prevention improvements and endpoints are now available in all of our backend SDKs, including Node, Go, Python, Ruby, Kotlin, Java and Rust, and can be used with both the B2C and B2B clients. Visit our docs for more details.
