What is TrustPath? (Currently in Alpha)

TrustPath is an advanced fraud detection system designed to help identify and mitigate potentially fraudulent activities by analyzing critical user data such as IP addresses and email addresses. By leveraging behavioral analysis and sophisticated algorithms, the system generates risk scores and actionable insights that empower end-user solutions to make informed decisions in real time.

Whether you're looking to enhance security during user registration, safeguard transactions, or implement advanced geographic restrictions, TrustPath offers a seamless and effective way to protect your platform against fraud.

Key Use Cases​

TrustPath provides a powerful REST API that integrates effortlessly into your existing solutions. Here are some key use cases:

1. Sign-Up Security​

Enhance the security of your sign-up process by detecting fraudulent or suspicious activities:

  • Identify disposable or temporary email addresses.
  • Verify if the provided email address is valid and can receive emails.
  • Detect if the request originates from blacklisted or abusive IPs.
  • Identify whether incoming requests are generated by bots.
  • Detect users connecting through anonymity services like Tor exit nodes.

2. Geo-Fencing​

Implement geographic restrictions to align with your business needs:

  • Allow or block access based on specific geographic regions.
  • Protect your platform from high-risk regions often associated with fraudulent activities.

3. User Location Resolution​

Resolve user locations with precision to:

  • Enhance localization efforts for a personalized user experience.
  • Improve decision-making for region-specific compliance or offerings.

4. Fraud Risk Assessment​

Leverage TrustPath’s risk analysis to evaluate the likelihood of fraudulent transactions and take proactive measures.

How It Works​

The TrustPath Fraud Detection API works by evaluating user behavior and analyzing two primary inputs:

  • IP Address: Provides critical details such as the user’s geographical location, network type, and associated risks (e.g., known abusive or blacklisted IPs).
  • Email Address: Analyzes patterns and reputation of the email address to detect disposable domains, invalid email structures, or previously flagged addresses.

Upon receiving these inputs, the system processes them using cutting-edge data models and algorithms, returning a comprehensive set of risk indicators, including:

  • A risk score, which provides a numerical representation of the likelihood of fraud.
  • Key data points that enable you to tailor your response (e.g., flagging transactions, requiring additional verification steps, or blocking the request outright).

These outputs allow developers and security teams to build robust fraud prevention workflows tailored to their unique needs.

Who is the Target Audience?​

TrustPath is designed for a broad audience, including:

  • Developers: Easily integrate TrustPath's API into your applications for real-time fraud detection and decision-making.
  • Security Teams: Strengthen your organization’s defense against fraudulent activities and improve overall cybersecurity posture.
  • Product Teams: Enhance user experience by preventing bot activity and ensuring legitimate sign-ups and transactions.
  • Businesses: Protect your platform, customers, and brand reputation from fraud-related risks.
