Leverage Contextual IP Insights for Accurate Risk Assessments  

Digital Element’s unique IP Characteristics (IPC) database helps identify IP addresses that have not been associated with a VPN or proxy network, but display anomalous characteristics that provide context to demonstrate their potential to be associated with nefarious activity. 

With IPC’s deterministic IP metadata, your team can tap into historical data that signals the level of risk of an anonymous IP address; information including activity, location, range, and persistence to make more informed decisions.

Location

The number of locations an IP address has been observed

Persistence

The length of time an IP address has been in the same location week-over-week

Activity

The number of devices that have been connected to an IP address

Range

The range of distances between IP address observations

Digital Element's solution is accessible via a RESTful API, allowing users to access collected information relating to each discovered IP address and relational data. It utilizes provider-collected information and infrastructure mapping to provide active nodes as well as a daily delivery flat file.

Deployment Mechanism

“We had used other solutions in the past and found that Digital Element had a much more accurate data model.”
