Unparalleled Detection Accuracy and Seamless User Experience For Websites and Mobile Applications Frustrates Fraudsters, Not Legitimate UsersNEW YORK, Dec. 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- DataDome , a leading provider of AI-powered online fraud and bot management, today announced it is taking its bot protection offerings to a whole new level by enabling a new challenge response for customers, called Device Check. This invisible challenge works behind the scenes, validating device-specific signals with proofs of work – all without prompting any visible interaction with end users.Device Check excels in identifying even the most advanced and evasive bots right from their initial requests. Unlike traditional security measures that may only catch bots after repeated suspicious behavior, Device Check's advanced algorithms are finely tuned to spot telltale signs of automation and malicious intent.It analyzes device-specific signals in real-time such as requestor environment, automation framework usage, or any bot cloaking techniques, and enforces device-level proofs-of-work via JS challenges, thereby substantially increasing detection accuracy and further reducing the frequency of visual CAPTCHAs. For one early access customer, a luxury brand retailer, DataDome was able to reduce the false positive rate by an order of magnitude, thanks to Device Check's ability to block bots from the first request."Bot attacks continue to grow in sophistication, and can easily mimic human behavior or circumvent CAPTCHAs. This fact, combined with user frustration over traditional CAPTCHAs, is precisely why enterprises need a new approach that pairs robust bot security with frictionless user experiences," said Benjamin Fabre, co-founder and CEO of DataDome
