LexisNexis ThreatMetrix

LexisNexis ThreatMetrix is a global digital identity and device scoring network, the Digital Identity Network, which analyses billions of transactions. The company was founded in 2008 and is based in Atlanta.

Capabilities

Key products are the ThreatMetrix Digital Identity Network, behavioural biometrics through BehavioSec, device profiling, and bot and mule detection. Signals about a device, its history across many businesses and user behaviour are combined into a risk decision at login, onboarding or payment.

Data advantage

The company describes the network as the world's largest consortium of cross-industry data on devices and fraudsters; this is its own description. The value for a merchant or payment provider is that a device flagged elsewhere can be recognised on first contact.

Customers and terms

Target verticals are banks, payment service providers, iGaming, e-commerce, fintech and insurance, worldwide. The product is licensed on an enterprise basis. Pricing is not stated, so buyers should ask how licence fees depend on transaction counts and which modules are included.
