How EyesOnBio Can Help

Our Behavioral Identity Intelligence products analyze a combination of behavioral signals that can provide strong indicators of multi-accounting. Signals such as keystroke dynamics, mouse movement patterns, and swipe behavior help establish a behavioral identity profile for each user.

By comparing behavioral identity profiles across accounts, EyesOnBio can help identify instances where seemingly unrelated accounts may be operated by the same individual, enabling organizations to detect and prevent multi-accounting, referral abuse, promo abuse, and other forms of account abuse.
