ProofID | What is PingOne Protect?

Written by ProofID | Aug 6, 2025 9:30:00 AM

Real-time risk detection for smarter identity decisions. 

Modern fraud doesn’t announce itself. It impersonates real users, mimics human behaviour, and scales fast with bots and automation. Static rules and traditional tools are too slow – and too blunt – to keep up.

PingOne Protect, from Ping Identity, delivers real-time, machine-learning-based risk scoring, empowering identity and fraud teams to detect and act on threats before access is granted. It continuously analyses behavioural, device, and network signals to assess whether a user should be challenged, blocked, or allowed to continue.

ProofID helps organisations integrate PingOne Protect into complex identity architectures – and prove its impact fast with a structured Proof of Value (POV).

Why Adaptive Fraud Detection Is a Must-Have

Legacy identity defences were built for a simpler threat model – one user, one password, one challenge. That model no longer applies. Attackers now:

  • Reuse compromised credentials
  • Create synthetic identities at scale
  • Use bots to mimic normal behaviour
  • Exploit MFA fatigue and rigid policies

PingOne Protect changes the game by embedding adaptive risk detection directly into the identity layer – evaluating every interaction in context and responding instantly.

How PingOne Protect Works

PingOne Protect is a cloud-native, API-driven fraud detection service that integrates directly with the Ping Identity Platform. It analyses a wide array of signals to generate a real-time risk score (0–100), complete with explanation and confidence level.

Signal Categories:

  • Device intelligence (fingerprint, OS, emulator detection)
  • Network insights (IP reputation, proxy detection, ASN)
  • Behavioural biometrics (mouse movement, typing cadence, navigation)
  • Location anomalies (geo-velocity, impossible travel)
  • Threat history (known risk patterns, session analysis)

This risk score feeds directly into PingOne DaVinci, PingFederate, PingAM, or PingOne AIC to automate decisions such as:

  • Allow access (low risk)
  • Trigger step-up authentication (medium risk)
  • Block access or notify SOC (high risk)

Key Benefits

  • Stop fraud in real time: Block account takeovers, bots, and fake accounts before they succeed
  • Minimise user friction: Reduce unnecessary MFA prompts for trusted users
  • Gain visibility: Surface live risk signals that static rules can’t detect
  • Scale intelligently: Cloud-native architecture ready for enterprise environments
  • Integrate seamlessly: Works with PingOne, PingFederate, DaVinci, and other Ping Identity services

Use Cases Across High-Risk Industries

  • Financial Services – Prevent high-risk access attempts, account takeover, and synthetic fraud – without introducing excessive friction for customers.
  • Retail & eCommerce – Block bots, prevent promotional abuse, and defend against fake account creation – without harming conversion rates.
  • Healthcare – Ensure that only authorised users access patient systems – even across distributed networks and BYOD environments.
  • Higher Education – Safeguard student and staff access across open networks and decentralised applications.
