Kinde and TrustPath

Kinde is a robust user authentication platform designed to streamline the onboarding process for businesses while ensuring secure access for users. With a focus on powerful identity verification, Kinde provides an array of features including single sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA), and seamless integration capabilities that enable organizations to manage user identities efficiently. By offering a user-friendly interface, Kinde empowers businesses to enhance their security posture without compromising user experience, thus facilitating a balanced approach to authentication.

Why integrate Kinde with TrustPath

The integration between Kinde and TrustPath creates a powerful security solution that addresses critical authentication challenges. By combining Kinde's robust authentication platform with TrustPath's advanced fraud detection capabilities, businesses can protect against common threats such as:

• Fake account creation: Prevent fraudsters from generating fake accounts using temporary emails and automated tools
• Account Takeover (ATO): Stop unauthorized access attempts through credential leaks, phishing, or brute-force attacks
• Account sharing: Detect and manage shared accounts to maintain security and compliance

TrustPath's integration enhances Kinde's security by providing real-time risk assessment through multiple layers of analysis:

• Email Intelligence: Detects risky or disposable email addresses
• IP Intelligence: Analyzes IP addresses and geolocation data
• Device Intelligence: Uses device fingerprinting and browser analysis
• Behavioral Analysis: Monitors user behavior patterns
• Custom Rules: Allows tailored detection thresholds and responses
• Risk Scoring: Provides dynamic risk scores for each authentication attempt

How TrustPath integrates with Kinde

The integration leverages Kinde's workflow system, specifically using the user:post_authentication trigger to implement fraud detection. Here's how it works:

1. When a user registers or signs in, the user:post_authentication trigger activates
2. The workflow sends authentication details to TrustPath's API
3. TrustPath evaluates the event and calculates a risk score
4. Based on the returned state, the system can allow or deny access, or flag for review

The integration is implemented through TrustPath's REST API using Bearer token authentication, ensuring secure communication between the platforms. This setup allows for real-time risk assessment while maintaining a seamless user experience.

Integration Use Cases

The Kinde-TrustPath integration excels in several key scenarios:

Account Takeover Prevention:

• Real-time risk scoring for login attempts
• Detection of unusual login locations or devices
• Automatic triggering of additional verification steps when needed

Risk Management:

• Continuous monitoring of user behavior patterns
• Detection of behavioral anomalies
