機能

Advanced bot and agent detection

Fraud Defense leverages a sophisticated and adaptable risk analysis engine to shield against automated software. It is specifically designed to orchestrate trust for the agentic web, neutralizing malicious scrapers while welcoming legitimate AI agents.

Detect automated and targeted ATO attacks

Safeguard applications against automated and targeted Account Takeover (ATO) attacks. Our new dedicated ATO score is 400% more effective at detecting takeover attempts than standard bot scores. Google Cloud Fraud Defense provides risk scores and forensic explainability reasons, allowing you to automate granular security policies with evidence that shuts down attacks bypassing traditional detection.

Global visibility at Google-scale

Benefit from a global perspective that aggregates signals from millions of protected sites and billions of daily interactions. By correlating anonymized telemetry across the Google ecosystem, Fraud Defense provides a layer of shared intelligence that helps identify high-risk patterns before they manifest in your specific environment. This broad-spectrum visibility allows our models to surface subtle indicators of coordinated attacks, providing your security team with the context needed to harden defenses against emerging fraud tactics.

Adaptive risk-analysis engine

Fine-tune a vast array of signals—including user behavior, device integrity, and interaction history—to meet your organization's specific risk appetite. This adaptive engine assesses intent with high precision to ensure that security never stands in the way of your legitimate business growth. By continuously learning from your site's unique traffic, the engine becomes more accurate over time, reducing false positives and improving conversion.

Unified protection for every surface

Protect your organization across every possible interaction surface, from legacy browsers and mobile apps to IoT devices and the emerging agentic frontier. Fraud Defense provides a unified view of risk across any digital endpoint, including Agent-to-Agent (A2A) and Model Context Protocol (MCP) layers, even in environments that cannot run standard JavaScript. By securing the underlying infrastructure of both human and autonomous commerce, you can safely enable complex transactions across your entire digital ecosystem.

Full customer journey coverage

Integrate protection across every critical stage of the user lifecycle—including registration, login, cart, and payment. By correlating telemetry across these milestones, Fraud Defense eliminates the defensive blind spots created by disconnected point solutions. This holistic view allows you to identify suspicious patterns that might look legitimate in isolation but reveal fraudulent intent when viewed as a complete journey.

Password leak detection

Securely compare user credentials against Google’s comprehensive database of billions of leaked records from third-party breaches. If a match is found during a login attempt, allowing you to automatically warn the user or require a password change to prevent successful credential-stuffing attacks. This proactive defense mitigates the risk of account takeovers even when a user's password has been compromised elsewhere on the web.

Comprehensive transaction defense

Identify and block fraudulent transactions, card testing, and chargebacks by merging Google-scale fraud intelligence with our expertise in payment risk and modeling. Choose between a front-end JavaScript integration or our new API-only mode, which uses direct server-to-server calls to protect your checkout flow at the moment of purchase with zero added user friction.

SMS toll fraud protection

Safeguard your mobile authentication and sign-up flows from high-velocity "SMS pumping" attacks. Utilizing unique Google-scale fraud intelligence, Fraud Defense identifies suspicious phone numbers and prevents automated bots from triggering costly fraudulent messages, protecting your financial security without impacting legitimate users.

Policy-based challenges

Bridge the gap between passive risk scoring and active verification with deterministic Policy-based challenges. By defining action-specific score thresholds, security teams can automatically trigger challenges only when an interaction falls below a chosen trustworthiness level. This approach reduces false positives by giving borderline users a way to prove their humanity while forcing sophisticated bots to encounter AI-resistant hurdles, ensuring growth remains unhindered by automated abuse.

AI/ML-powered threat detection

Uncover the most sophisticated threats using a powerful combination of unsupervised clustering and deep neural networks. Our models are capable of identifying active attacks in real-time and uncovering hidden connections between seemingly disparate adversaries and their coordinated operations. This intelligence allows your team to move beyond reactive blocking and begin dismantling the infrastructure of professional fraud rings.

Malicious account identification

Detect groups of accounts exhibiting suspicious or related behavior that suggests a coordinated attack or synthetic identity network. Fraud Defense provides the visibility needed to take proactive measures, such as disabling related accounts or restricting specific actions, before a fraud ring can scale its operations. This capability is essential for preventing mass sign-ups and protecting your promotional budgets from automated abuse.

Forensic attack investigation

Transition from individual log analysis to high-level campaign visualization. Our new Attack Investigation view aggregates millions of data points into correlated "Attacks," allowing analysts to visualize the footprint of professional fraud rings across the entire journey. Deep-dive into specific incidents with forensic tools designed to help you deconstruct and shut down coordinated campaigns with precision.

Intelligent security recommendations

Receive tailored, data-driven recommendations within the console based on your unique traffic patterns and security posture. Our system identifies potential gaps in your current implementation and suggests specific configurations or policy updates to maximize your detection accuracy. These proactive insights ensure that your defense remains optimized as both your business and the threat landscape continue to evolve.

Real-time anomaly detection

Identify sudden traffic spikes and unusual behavior patterns as they happen with automated anomaly detection. These real-time alerts help your security teams respond instantly to zero-day attacks or novel fraud tactics emerging on the agentic web. By establishing a baseline of normal behavior for your specific site, we can highlight deviations that indicate a new or sophisticated attack is underway.

Privacy-preserving data processing

Secure your sensitive data with advanced client-side storage and anonymization techniques that prioritize user privacy. Effective April 2, 2026, our transition to a Data Processor model gives your organization direct control over user data and simplifies compliance with global regulations. This privacy-by-design approach ensures that your security measures never compromise the trust of your customers.

Comprehensive WAAP protection

Combine Fraud Defense with Cloud Armor and Apigee to create a multi-layered Web App and API Protection (WAAP) architecture. This comprehensive solution secures your perimeter against DDoS attacks, protects your critical APIs from exploitation, and shields your user accounts from automated fraud. Managed through a single pane of glass, this unified defense simplifies security operations while providing superior protection for complex, cloud-native environments.

Web Application Firewall (WAF) integration

Integrate natively with your existing WAF provider, including Google Cloud Armor, Fastly, and Cloudflare, to create a robust defensive perimeter. This connection allows you to detect and block abusive traffic at the network edge before it ever reaches your application’s infrastructure. By offloading the challenge of bot mitigation to the edge, you save on compute costs and improve the performance of your web applications for legitimate traffic.
