Leverage Contextual IP Insights for Accurate Risk Assessments  

Digital Element’s unique IP Characteristics (IPC) database is an additional solution that identifies IP addresses that display anomalous characteristics, offering vital context to spot potential threats. 

With IPC’s deterministic IP metadata, security teams can tap into historical observations, including activity, location, range, and persistence to make more informed decisions, protecting your organization from account takeovers, fraud, and unauthorized access.

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
