Device Profile Smart – Device Fingerprinting & SCA

Secure your online services with Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) using a persistent digital device fingerprint.

What is Device Profile Smart and how does it support SCA?

Device Profile Smart is a device fingerprinting solution that builds a persistent device profile as a proof-of-possession signal for SCA. Analysis is triggered at organization-defined journey points (e.g., login, transaction) and supports the decision to continue the flow or apply step-up verification (e.g., SMS). It is used in banking, fintech, gaming, and other organizations where effective authentication is critical.

Why is Device Profile Smart stable for device identification?

Device Profile Smart uses multiple fingerprint streams instead of one static identifier. This makes device recognition more stable during typical environment changes (e.g., browser or system updates).

What data makes up Device Profile Smart fingerprints?

Device Profile Smart uses unique technical characteristics of the device and browser to build fingerprint streams.

It generates multiple fingerprint streams based on, among other things, OS and browser signals, network signals, performance characteristics, and browser/device configuration signals.

Does the technology still recognize a device after an update?

Yes. Device Profile Smart relies on multiple fingerprint streams, not a single identifier.

Aggregated fingerprint streams mean that changing one element (e.g., a system or browser update) does not automatically cause the device to be treated as untrusted.

When does Device Profile Smart indicate that additional verification is needed?

When changes to the fingerprint set exceed a defined threshold compared to the baseline.

Device Profile Smart compares the current fingerprint set with the previously stored baseline. If the difference is significant, it may indicate that additional verification is required (e.g., SMS).

How does Device Profile Smart work?

Device Profile Smart runs analysis at an authentication step (e.g., login) and immediately returns results via REST API: device status (trusted/suspicious) or a Risk Score. This enables the organization to respond immediately – continue the flow or apply additional verification.

How is Device Profile Smart implemented?

01

Convenient JavaScript integration

Device Profile Smart is enabled by adding a single line of JavaScript code to the protected page.

02

SECaaS model

The solution operates in the Security-as-a-Service model. The entire infrastructure and updates are managed by PREBYTES.

03

Asynchronous operation

The script loads asynchronously (non-blocking), helping keep page performance and the User Experience (UX) smooth.

Does Device Profile Smart work across browsers and devices?

Device Profile Smart works across desktop and mobile environments and supports both modern and older browser and device versions. We prioritize broad compatibility to deliver stable, reliable performance across different OS and browser combinations.

Cookie-less and resilient to ad blockers and privacy tools

Device Profile Smart is cookie-less (it does not use cookies), and is designed to be resilient to common ad blockers and privacy tools. It maintains stable device identification and a security assessment.

Supports compliance with PSD2, SCA & NIS2

Device Profile Smart supports PSD2 SCA by providing a device fingerprinting signal that can be used as a device-based possession input in authentication and step-up decisions. It can also support security practices aligned with NIS2 risk-management expectations by helping reduce account takeover and fraud risk.

How does Device Profile Smart differ from typical anti-fraud tools?

The table below compares Device Profile Smart with typical anti-fraud solutions across the most important technical and business areas.

COMPETITOR SOLUTIONS

IDENTIFICATION STABILITY

Multiple fingerprint streams keep device identification stable even when the environment changes

A single static fingerprint changes after minor modifications

COMPLIANCE: GDPR, PSD2/3, NIS2

Privacy by design; supports GDPR, PSD2/3 and NIS2 compliance

Profiling and biometrics increase regulatory requirements and require user consent

DEPLOYMENT TIME & TIME TO VALUE

Works from day one – no model training phase required

Biometric models require a training period (weeks/months)

USER EXPERIENCE (UX)

Runs in the background and reduces unnecessary step-up verification

More frequent extra checks reduce UX and add friction

BROAD DEVICE & BROWSER COMPATIBILITY (DESKTOP + MOBILE)

Works across modern and older browsers/devices; optimized for mixed OS/browser versions

May have limited support for older browsers/devices or require frequent updates for compatibility

BUSINESS VALUE

Faster ROI and reduced fraud losses

Higher costs: more SMS step-ups

CORE TECHNOLOGY

Proprietary ML models trained on large-scale device data

Off-the-shelf libraries (e.g., from GitHub) that are easier for fraudsters to bypass

AD BLOCK RESISTANCE

The solution is not treated by ad blockers as a tracker

Vulnerable: often blocked as third-party trackers

INFRASTRUCTURE & DATA LOCATION

Dedicated (EU/EEA, UK or US), hosting; full data residency; no public cloud

Shared cloud: multi-region hosting, which may place data outside the customer’s jurisdiction
