Known device
Normal ASN and behaviour
Allow
Peakhour scores login, API, checkout, transfer, and verification traffic at the edge so financial teams can challenge risky sessions, block automation, and keep trusted customers moving.
Example request risk
Account, network, device, behaviour, and transaction context become one reviewable decision.
Normal ASN and behaviour
Allow
New device and residential proxy
Challenge
High velocity across fresh identities
Block
01Pressure / financial abuse
Attackers reuse normal login, payment, transfer, and verification paths, turning apparently valid requests into direct financial and operational cost.
Identity
Detect breached credentials, proxy rotation, impossible client changes, and repeated login attempts before attackers reach balances or personal data.
Transaction
Score high-value actions with account age, device history, proxy reputation, velocity, card attempts, and session behaviour.
Trust
Add a reviewable browser signal before sensitive login, payment, transfer, and verification actions.
Verification
Rate-limit costly verification flows and stop SMS pumping before it burns budget or pollutes customer records.
02Decision / before the action
Clean customers continue to account, payment, and open-banking flows. Risky sessions are stepped up, rate-limited, blocked, or logged with the evidence needed for review.
IP intelligence, proxy detection, credential exposure, verified browser, device, behaviour, and route state
Evaluate
Match action risk and customer value before login, verification, payment, transfer, or open-banking flows complete
Act
Keep the signals, route, score, policy, and outcome available to fraud, security, and compliance teams
Review
03Proof / regulated paths
Financial institutions need more than a block count. They need to show how sensitive paths are protected, which signals drove each action, and whether controls preserve availability for legitimate customers.
Traceability
Record the signals, score, route, and action behind each challenged or blocked request.
Coverage
Apply WAAP, bot, and rate controls to REST, GraphQL, authentication, and open-banking endpoints.
Telemetry
Stream enriched logs to security, fraud, and compliance workflows.
Operations
Work with an Australian-owned provider for local support and data-sovereignty expectations.
Fraud and security teams need to see whether policy is working under live pressure. Request evidence backs each edge decision with timing, prediction scores, and action history.
Risk decisions stay connected to the facts that made them, so teams can investigate abuse without rebuilding context from raw logs.
04Outcome / operating teams
The result is a control path that ties abuse prevention, customer experience, and compliance evidence together around high-value financial actions.
Fraud
Focus on risky sessions with evidence attached, not long queues of disconnected alerts.
Security
Protect login, API, payment, and verification endpoints with WAAP, bot, and rate controls.
Digital
Preserve fast journeys for known customers while challenging suspicious actions at the right moment.
Compliance
Export decisions that show how controls are applied to regulated data and transaction paths.
Map your login, payment, transfer, and verification flows to edge controls that can act before fraud reaches the business.
