Account Takeover Protection - ATO

Account Takeover or ATO is an automated bot threat that cybercriminals use to brute force entry to an account. Credential Stuffing attacks crawl lists of leaked usernames/emails and passwords, using bots to continually test combinations on multiple sites until they are successful.

Account Takeover Protection or ATO Protection

According to an e-Commerce Fraud report in 2021, 23% of merchants worldwide are affected by Account Takeover!
To effectively protect yourself from Account Takeover, you can opt for a reliable and effective solution like Cloudfilt. You can also implement several sets of measures.

Monitoring logs and connections

By setting up a system to monitor and track suspicious account logins, you can check activities related to that account, blocking it if necessary.
However, setting up a log and connection monitoring system can be complicated and time-consuming, which is why we recommend the use of software specialized in Account Takeover Protection and Bot Management, such as CloudFilt.

Double-factor or multi-factor authentication

Double or multi-factor authentication helps secure user accounts.
Indeed, if an account tries to connect to a platform via another IP address, a different location or another device, we can ask them for proof that it is really them.
From there, several options are possible:
⋅ Receive a code on a phone number.
⋅ Receive a code on an email address other than the connection one, a recovery address.
⋅ Answer a secret question.
⋅ For applications with banking or confidential information, a facial application or fingerprint is also possible.
This is just one example of possible measures to take to prevent Account Takeover.
But the most effective way to do this is to use an efficient solution to block questionable connections and thus provide Account Takeover Protection.
