Feature details

As incidents of data breaches and bot attacks increase, account takeover has become a significant risk for many companies, regardless of the industry. Account protection leverages Dynamics 365 Fraud Protection’s proprietary risk assessment engine, artificial intelligence learning capabilities, and Fraud Protection network. This feature provides device forensics and bot detection capabilities.

With real-time telemetry through APIs, attributes associated with account creation and account sign-in attempts are evaluated, returning a risk assessment score with a reason code. Customers can leverage this information to make decisions and take proactive measures, such as blocking fraudulent attempts or challenging suspicious attempts with two-factor authentication.
