Radar

What's this blog post about?

Radar is an advanced security feature built on top of AuthKit that enhances application protection against abuse, fraud, and attacks. It detects authentication patterns indicative of malicious behavior and includes six built-in preventions. Radar identifies device fingerprints based on over 20 characteristics to differentiate between legitimate users and attackers. It also tracks every authentication attempt to uncover suspicious or impossible sign-ins, alerting admins in real-time for intervention. The system groups detected patterns into "detections" that can be blocked or prompt additional verification. Beyond built-in detections, developers can set custom rules to allow or deny authentication based on specific devices, users, domains, or IP ranges. Radar's signals will also be available in events and actions for further integration with applications' fraud or abuse models.
