Akamai Technologies, Inc. announced on October 29, 2024, new capabilities for its Account Protector security solution. These enhancements are designed to safeguard user accounts against abuse throughout their entire lifecycle, providing advanced protection against account opening abuse, account takeover attacks, and other attack schemes. The new features enable organizations to protect accounts from creation through password resets, logins, and all post-login activities.
The updated Account Protector collects a broad set of risk signals across the entire account lifecycle, analyzes them, and initiates automated responses that balance risk mitigation with user experience. This continuous risk assessment helps detect subtle behavioral changes that could signal impersonation or fraudulent activity, moving beyond traditional static risk assessments at login.
Key new capabilities include real-time risk scoring for account opening, continuous risk assessment for post-login activities, and enhanced detection of sophisticated bot attacks. These additions provide businesses with granular control and security, allowing them to better safeguard user accounts and respond to emerging risks while maintaining positive experiences for trusted users.
