BioCatch

BioCatch prevents fraud and financial crime in real time by analyzing 3,000 different physical behavioral patterns (mouse movements and typing speed, for example) and cognitive signals (hesitation, segmented typing, etc.) in search of anomalies. A deviation in user behavior – especially one matching known patterns of criminal activity – is often an indication the online session is fraudulent.
