Account Takeover Fraud Detection Solution
A comprehensive real-time platform to protect your users and assets.
Using advanced behavioral analysis, device intelligence, and policy controls, Skylight gives your security teams the visibility and speed they need to stop unauthorized account access before it causes damage.
Why it matters
Account security is a trust problem as much as a fraud problem
Attackers are faster, more automated, and better resourced than ever. The cost of a single account takeover goes well beyond the immediate financial loss.
User trust is on the line
Unauthorized access to user accounts leads to reputational damage and lasting loss of customer confidence. For financial institutions and platforms handling sensitive data, a single high-profile breach can undo years of trust-building in days.
Fraud tactics are evolving fast
Automated bots and credential stuffing tools make breaches more frequent and more sophisticated. Attackers no longer need technical expertise; they purchase credential lists and deploy automated toolkits that can test thousands of combinations per minute.
Volume makes manual review impossible
The volume of login attempts keeps growing, and manual reviews cannot scale with high velocity traffic. At the scale modern platforms operate, the only signals that matter are the ones your system can identify and act on automatically, in real time.
How it works
From login signal to resolved incident, in one system
Four layers of protection working together continuously, from the moment a user begins a session to the point a security team closes an investigation.
Behavioral and Device Analysis
Monitor login patterns, mouse movement, typing cadence, device fingerprint, and network signals to identify high-risk activity in real time. Legitimate users behave consistently; automated tools and stolen credentials do not, and those gaps are detectable at the point of access.
Policy-Driven Response Engine
Enforce customizable policies such as step-up authentication, temporary lockout, session termination, and alerts. Responses are proportionate to the risk score, so low-risk sessions stay frictionless for genuine users while high-risk sessions are challenged or blocked immediately.
Adaptive Risk Scoring
Our account takeover fraud detection system continuously refines risk models based on user behavior, login history, geolocation, and device reputation. Scores reflect the full context of a session, not just a single signal, so the system gets more accurate the more it sees.
Centralized Investigation Dashboard
Security teams can review flagged sessions, examine risk signals, add case notes, escalate incidents, and record resolutions from one interface. The full context of each flagged event is available without switching tools, so investigators can move faster and with greater confidence.
What sets us apart
Designed to fit your stack and your risk tolerance
Skylight connects to the authentication infrastructure you already have, lets your team configure policies without engineering involvement, and explains every decision it makes in plain language.
Account takeover threats vary significantly by industry, user base, and attack vector. A platform that imposes a one-size-fits-all approach will either create too much friction for legitimate users or too little resistance for determined attackers. Skylight is built to be calibrated precisely to your environment.
Seamless integration
APIs that connect instantly to your authentication stack and user database mean Skylight is operational without a lengthy implementation. Your existing login infrastructure stays in place; Skylight adds intelligence on top of it.
Custom policy rules
Policies can be updated without coding to match your business risk appetite. Security and operations teams adjust thresholds, define challenge triggers, and test rule changes independently, so your defenses stay aligned with your current threat environment.
Cloud-native and modular
The platform scales automatically as your user base grows, handling traffic spikes without performance degradation or manual intervention. Add detection modules as your needs expand without rearchitecting the solution.
Explainable risk decisions
Clear signal breakdowns support incident triage and user support. When a legitimate user is challenged or an account is locked, your team knows exactly which signals triggered the response and can communicate that clearly to the customer if needed.
Use cases
Protection across every account type and attack vector
From high-value enterprise accounts to mass consumer platforms, Skylight covers the full range of account takeover scenarios your security team needs to manage.
High-value account protection
Apply elevated protection to accounts that carry the greatest financial or data risk. Stricter policies, richer signal analysis, and faster escalation paths ensure that your highest-value accounts receive the level of scrutiny their exposure warrants.
Credential stuffing prevention
Identify the velocity patterns, device switching, and behavioral inconsistencies that distinguish credential stuffing attacks from legitimate login activity. Automated toolkits move fast; Skylight’s detection is faster, flagging attacks before credentials are validated.
Adaptive multi-factor enforcement
Trigger step-up authentication dynamically upon detection of risk signals, rather than applying it universally. Genuine users in familiar contexts complete their sessions without interruption; sessions that exhibit suspicious signals receive an additional verification challenge before access is granted.
Incident investigation
Reconstruct the full context of any flagged session using session data, device logs, and audit history. Investigators have everything they need to determine whether an incident represents a genuine takeover attempt, a false positive, or a pattern that warrants a policy change.
