SHIELD focuses on identifying the physical devices and behavioral patterns behind fraudulent activity. Its platform creates persistent device intelligence and combines device, network, and AI signals to identify suspicious users and accounts throughout the customer journey. It can screen events at signup, login, transaction, and other checkpoints, helping businesses detect fraud before it develops into financial loss. Its Feature AI Engine combines neural networks with symbolic AI to detect coordinated fraud attacks, while the broader SHIELD platform addresses fake accounts, account takeovers, referral and promotional abuse, account sharing, subscription abuse, payment fraud, identity fraud, bot attacks, and AML-related risks. SHIELD also provides real-time session monitoring and configurable risk controls, making it suitable for e-commerce, fintech, gaming, marketplaces, and mobile applications. SHIELD was founded in 2008 and has built its platform around device intelligence and real-time fraud prevention. The company says its global intelligence network profiles billions of devices and continuously updates its fraud intelligence, allowing organizations to detect coordinated attacks while reducing friction for legitimate users.
