Consumer ATO Prevention

Consumer ATO Prevention helps you spot compromised customers early and block account takeover by acting on identity evidence from the criminal underground — including breached credentials, identity exposures from malware-infected devices, and successfully phished logins.

🎯

Give security & fraud teams the earliest possible signal that a user is at risk, then reset or step-up before attackers get in.


🚀 What does Consumer ATO Prevention do?

  • Continuously checks your consumers against SpyCloud’s recaptured breach, malware, and phished datasets to flag exposed identities.
  • Detects credential reuse and replay to prevent ATO without adding unnecessary friction.
  • Lets you automate outcomes via our flexible APIs and within your preferred tools and frameworks.

🧩 Key capabilities

  • Early exposure detection at account creation & login to stop credential-based ATO.
  • Credential risk evaluation (reused, exposed, or known-compromised passwords).
  • Policy-driven actions (forced reset, step-up authentication, re-verification) tuned to source & severity.
  • Low-friction UX by acting only on high-confidence events; reduce false positives & churn.

🏦 Who benefits

  • Financial services — reduce ATO & transaction fraud
  • E-commerce & marketplaces — protect revenue & loyalty balances
  • Telecom & media — safeguard high-value subscriptions
  • Any B2C app — strengthen identity security without excess friction

🛠️ Getting started

  1. Choose control points: account creation and login.
  2. Integrate APIs: call Consumer ATO Prevention to evaluate user risk.
  3. Define policies: by source (breach / malware / phished), severity, and credential risk.
  4. Automate responses: force resets or require step-up auth.
  5. Measure & tune: ATO prevented, password resets, step-up auth success, and user friction.

✅ Outcomes you can expect

  • Fewer takeovers from password reuse and credential replay
  • Lower operational load through automation and high-fidelity alerts
  • Protected brand trust and improved customer retention
