About this whitepaper
Fraudsters are relentless, evolving their tactics to bypass defenses and exploit vulnerabilities. Whether through account takeover (ATO) or new account fraud (NAF), identity is the entry point for most attacks—and the consequences can be devastating: lost revenue, damaged trust, and regulatory risk.
This guide introduces an identity threat prevention taxonomy that helps organizations see the bigger picture and act with precision. You’ll learn how to:
- Understand the most common identity fraud threats today
- Map how attackers exploit each stage of the user journey
- Detect and stop threats like credential stuffing, session hijacking, synthetic identities, and adversary-in-the-middle phishing
- Align detection and mitigation strategies to reduce fraud without creating friction for legitimate users
- Continuously monitor and adapt defenses to keep pace with emerging threats
With a structured taxonomy in place, organizations can build a holistic, layered defense that prevents fraud in real time—while still delivering the seamless digital experiences customers expect.
