Strivacity: Vienna Release

The Vienna release is our largest release yet. It combines industry standard identity affirmation features, sophisticated fraud detection and mitigation, and bleeding edge FIDO-based authentication protocols. We also continue our “clicks not code” approach with a visual brand editor as well as an expanded list of pre-canned integrations with social, identity, and analytic providers. We’ve also made it easier for your customers to integrate their social login accounts, reset their password without an email address, and launch the applications they have access to right from the My Account portal.
There is a lot to cover, so let’s get started.
Identity verification
It is important to know your customers are who they say they are. This can greatly reduce the level of fraudulent transactions to your service and keep your customer’s accounts safe.
We make this easy by integrating with 3rd party phone carrier providers and credit agencies while offering pain-free registration workflows that make it easy for a customer to verify their identity.
In the Vienna release, we implement a highly configurable customer journey builder that allows you to control your customer’s experience when verifying their identity. You have full control over what your customers see, how their data is collected, which verification techniques are used, and how the customer is handled if they fail to verify their identity. Balancing registration friction and fraud prevention has never been easier.

Fraud detection
No one wants fraudulent activity to occur on their platform. Fraud risks your customer’s accounts and your brand’s reputation. We make it easy by providing out-of-the-box fraud mitigation tools that reduce the risk of your brand becoming a headline.
Bot detection
Our Vienna release adds an IP-based bot detection feed to stop consumer bots in their tracks. We’ve also added network analysis, allowing you to block or step-up connections that come from Tor or other anonymous proxies.
Phone fraud
We can also detect if a phone number being used as an authenticator has been recently ported or is associated with VoIP phone types that are often used by scammers.
You can find more details about Phone number risk evaluation on this page. 
Improbable travel
Can you travel faster than a commercial airline? If you can, you might be a bad actor. We can compare the time and location of recent logins and determine that traveling that far in that amount of time would be…well…improbable. You can then configure the system to require MFA on the questionable authentication to reduce the risk of fraudulent activity.
Behavior analytics
Finally, we can check a customer’s login time, day, and location and compare that to past behaviors to determine whether to require MFA for that customer. This makes your customer’s normal login behavior as friction-free as possible while maintaining the security everybody expects.
You can find out more about the new fraud mitigation capabilities at theFraud detection tools section. 
Adaptive MFA
FIDO2
We continue to our list of authenticator options to ensure your customers have an easy and safe authentication experience. In this release, we’ve added support for FIDO2 platform and roaming authenticators. Your customers can now access your site using their face or fingerprint from a mobile or desktop/laptop device. Security has never been easier!
You can read more about FIDO2-based authenticationon this page. 
Mobile SDK
We are also expanding that authentication and biometric support to your brand’s iOS and Android mobile app. When you integrate our new mobile SDK into your brand’s app, you allow customers to quickly and securely authenticate across all the platforms your brand live.
Mobile SDK overview
Visualize your brand with our brand policy visualizer
Getting that pixel perfect representation of your brand in a 3rd party service can be cumbersome and time consuming. Strivacity’s new visual brand editor makes this process a snap. Our editor shows you each piece of the customer journey and allows you to make real-time updates to the experience. When you change a color, you instantly see the effects of that change. No more going back and forth between the admin UI and a test customer account trying to get the experience just right. You’ll have confidence the changes you made are the right ones because you’ll see the changes right when you make them.
