How Account Takeover Protection works
Precision detection engine
Accurately detect and block sophisticated account takeover attempts with a multilayered detection process that analyzes login traffic patterns, assigns risk scores, and mitigates threats in real-time, all while maintaining a seamless user experience.
Zero-day leaked credentials detection
Proactively identify and mitigate risks by detecting the use of compromised credentials following a data breach. Quickly flag accounts at risk of takeover and enables immediate security actions like password resets or user notifications.
User behavior anomaly detection
Protect accounts by identifying suspicious behavior patterns and policy violations. Leverage advanced analytics to detect anomalies and take proactive measures against potential fraud or malicious activity before it escalates.
Login behavior visualization
Gain deep insights into login trends and statistics with intuitive dashboards. Empower security teams to detect, predict, and prevent account takeover attempts by visualizing login behavior over time and identifying emerging threats.
Seamless user experience
Ensure legitimate users experience minimal disruption, even under attack. Reduce reliance on CAPTCHA challenges with accurate threat detection, maintain a frictionless login process, and preserve user trust and satisfaction.

Protect without impacting performance
Deploy to applications and websites without any change to the end user experience, load times, or responsiveness.
Demonstrate security to customers
Inform customers when an attempt to take over their account is detected and blocked, but use the opportunity to advise them on how to avoid the risk.
Ensure financial aggregator success
Recognize legitimate login requests from financial aggregators, providing full visibility into their activity and ensuring users can securely access consolidated financial data.

Account Takeover Protection FAQs
-
What if I already use a Multi-factor authentication (MFA) solution?
Multi-factor authentication is a good first step to protecting logins, but it can be bypassed by hackers in a number of different ways, such as logging in with a third-party account like Facebook or Gmail, using brute force, or using social engineering tactics to gain legitimate user names, passwords and verification codes.
Hackers can also bypass multi-factor authentication by resetting passwords because most organizations don’t implement it on login pages after a password reset.
While MFA can reduce the number of fraudulent logins, it doesn’t provide you with visibility into users that did get compromised. Imperva Account Takeover Protection is easy to set-up with out-of-the-box default policies. You also have visibility into user logins that have been compromised and can proactively alert them.
-
Will this block my legitimate users?
Imperva Account Takeover Protection uses a risk-based model that lets you choose when to take action. This gives you the flexibility to take action, for example, on only the highest risk items with the absolute lowest false positive rates.
Instead of blocking a user, you could also use CAPTCHA as a mitigation option to ensure that humans are never actually blocked. Account Takeover Protection let’s you customize the CAPTCHA page with your customer support information, allowing you to track any issues that may impact legitimate users.
-
Will this add any latency to my login pages?
If credential stuffing attacks are overwhelming your login service today, stopping these attacks with Account Takeover Protection will bring down your average response time (i.e. have a faster site) and keep your website up during the biggest attacks.
Imperva Account Takeover Protection adds very minimal latency to your login flow, performance you can benchmark both before and after enabling it. Imperva protects large enterprise customers with Account Takeover Protection, that would not rely on it to protect their login pages if we added a material amount of latency to their login process.
-
We already have a WAF, why do we need an Account Takeover Perotection?
While web application firewalls (WAFs) are essential to your security posture, they may not be sufficient. ATO attacks are sophisticated, often bypassing traditional defenses by exploiting stolen credentials or social engineering tactics.
Our Account Takeover Protection solution complements your existing measures by focusing specifically on detecting and preventing unauthorized account access, ensuring a more comprehensive security posture.
-
We're concerned about privacy and data handling. Does Imperva collect any sensitive data such as user credentials?
No. Data privacy is a top priority for us. Our solution is designed with strict data protection measures, including encryption and compliance with global privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA.
Furthermore, Implementing our solution can actually help you meet compliance requirements, offering an additional layer of data protection.
