What is SHIELD?
SHIELD is a device-first fraud intelligence and detection platform that stops account takeovers, collusion fraud, bot attacks, fake accounts, and abuse across web and mobile apps. The platform sits upstream of checkpoint tools, exposing fraud rings before fake accounts are created, payments are hit, or KYC is bypassed, using real-time device intelligence to stop fraud where it starts—the device.
Key features include tamper-proof Device IDs that persist across sessions, re-installs, factory resets, and tampering even in incognito mode; frictionless user authentication that skips re-verification, OTPs, and CAPTCHAs for trusted devices; configurable risk controls with 20+ fraud signals; event screening at signup, login, and transaction; real-time session monitoring; and a feature policy engine for customizing fraud policies across the entire user journey. The platform offers plug-and-play integration with modular development kits for Web, Android, iOS, React Native, and more, with no model training required and real ROI from Day 1.
SHIELD is designed for digital businesses worldwide including superapps, e-wallets, ride-hailing services, e-commerce platforms, fintech companies, iGaming operators, banks, social media platforms, and crypto/trading platforms. It serves mobility platforms (driver-passenger collusion, GPS spoofing), e-commerce marketplaces (promo abuse, fake reviews), fintech (account takeovers, payment fraud), iGaming (bonus abuse, bot users), E-KYC (deepfakes), banking (money laundering), social media (fake accounts), and crypto (pump & dump schemes). The platform is trusted by global unicorns like inDrive, Alibaba, Careem, Meesho, TrueMoney, Ascend Money, Maya Bank, OLX Group, Buymed, and Atlas Reality.
