IBM® Security Trusteer® Mobile Risk Engine protects the mobile channel by performing a mobile risk assessment based on device and account risk factors. It enables organizations to mitigate risk by producing actionable recommendations to allow, restrict or deny user or device access.

IBM Security Trusteer Mobile Risk Engine provides:

  • Powerful protection against mobile fraud that helps organizations to address complex cross-channel attacks.
  • Correlation of online and mobile banking risk data for conclusive mobile risk detection.
  • Detection of high-risk devices based on multiple data sources.
  • Detection of high-risk access with IBM Security Trusteer Mobile SDK.

Powerful protection against mobile fraud

  • Protects the mobile channel by performing a mobile risk assessment based on device and account risk factors.
  • Produces actionable recommendations to allow, restrict or deny user access.
  • Helps protect sensitive transactions, such as money transfers, initiated from mobile devices.
  • Helps financial institutions to meet federal requirements for layered security and continuous risk assessment.

Correlation of online and mobile banking risk data

  • Addresses complex attacks across online and mobile channels.
  • Incorporates various account risk factors including malware infections and phishing incidents.
  • Relies on multiple risk factors across multiple channels to accurately track the full attack lifecycle.
  • Uses a set of mobile risk-detection rules that map current attack patterns and are updated based on IBM Security Trusteer global intelligence.
  • Flags high-risk users and transactions for review or stepped-up authentication to minimize the burden to users.

Detection of high-risk devices

  • Generates accurate security recommendations based on multiple device risk factors.
  • Accommodates deployment or integration restrictions by consuming risk data from IBM Security Trusteer Mobile SDK or through an application programming interface (API) from the web application of a customer.
  • Accesses risk data from IBM Security Trusteer Pinpoint™ products and IBM Security Trusteer Rapport®. (Must be purchased separately.)

Detection of high-risk access

  • Provides risk data to the mobile banking application and can be used to restrict functionality based on the device risk level.
  • Offers the ability to detect specific application functions, such as adding a payee or transferring money, allowing organizations to disable risky functionality on a modified, jailbroken device.
  • Correlates risk data with additional device and account risk factors, such as financial malware infections and phishing or credential theft events residing on the online channel, to flag high-risk access and transactions.
