Common Use Cases
-
Login / Authentication – Fraudsters attempt MITM attacks to steal credentials. Customers need multi-layered defense (device, possession, geolocation, behavior) with step-up verification when needed.
-
Account Profile Changes – Unverified updates (like phone number changes) open the backdoor to account takeover, fraud losses, and reduced customer trust.
-
Account Recovery via Contact Center – Contact centers and IT help desks are vulnerable to impersonations and phishing. Accurate verification prevents consumer and corporate account breaches.
-
One-Time Password Limitations – OTP-only methods are exposed to SIM swaps and phone porting. Socure strengthens authentication with carrier, device, and behavioral checks.

- Built for scale: Handles millions of account takeover checks per day, in real time.
- Adaptive orchestration: Conditional routing ensures only the right step-ups are applied.
Boundary Conditions
