The Challenge of Enterprise Authentication

For large organizations, centralized authentication is the front door to everything: workforce logins, customer portals, and partner access. Whether running Okta, Keycloak, ForgeRock, or a homegrown SSO solution, uptime and resilience are non-negotiable.

But these systems are prime targets for:

  • Credential stuffing attacks
  • Botnets cycling through stolen passwords
  • Anonymizer abuse (VPN, Tor, proxies masking attacker origins)

The problem? Enterprises can’t afford to slow login flows with external dependencies — and many won’t accept the compliance risks of routing authentication traffic through a third-party API.

Why APIs Alone Aren’t Enough

FraudGuard’s real-time APIs are fast and powerful — but we know some customers need full local control. Enterprises care deeply about:

  • Resilience: Logins must succeed even if an external API is unreachable.
  • Performance: Every millisecond counts in authentication flows.
  • Compliance: Data residency requirements often prevent API calls leaving the network.

The Offline Threat Database Solution

FraudGuard now provides a hourly-refreshed offline database with the same intelligence that powers our live API. Available in CSV and SQLite formats:

  • CSV: Simple to ingest with existing ETL pipelines, SIEMs, or batch jobs.
  • SQLite: Drop-in embeddable database for pre-auth checks in authentication services.

This enables enterprises to:

  • Validate IP reputation locally, with zero external calls.
  • Enforce policies at the login gateway or proxy.
  • Maintain fraud defense even during API downtime.

Real-World Enterprise Use Case

Several FraudGuard enterprise customers already deploy the offline threat database in authentication workloads. A typical flow looks like this:

  • Hourly Sync: Download CSV or SQLite file from FraudGuard’s secure API.
  • Pre-Auth Check: Authentication proxy queries the local database before allowing login attempts.
  • Policy Enforcement:
    • Block IPs tied to risk levels 3-5 or threat classification specific needs.
    • Challenge traffic from anonymizers, suspicious geographies, risk levels 2, etc.
    • Allow known safe IPs without API latency.

Result: Zero external dependencies and faster, safer login flows.

Why Enterprises Choose This Model

  • ✅ No downtime risk from third-party APIs
  • ✅ Meets compliance and sovereignty rules
  • ✅ Full control over update schedules and enforcement
  • ✅ Same intelligence as FraudGuard’s real-time APIs
