Account takeover is a fast-growing form of identity theft. An account takeover (or ATO) is the malicious access of an online account, by a fraudster or bad actor, posing as a genuine customer, gaining control of an account, an making unauthorized transactions.

Financial institutions and eCommerce companies keeping a high level of trust with their customers is an extremely important part of them continuing to do business. They need to truly understand who the user is behind the data, identifying a real person in an electronic world.
