Features
Advanced bot and online fraud detection
reCAPTCHA leverages a sophisticated and adaptable risk analysis engine to shield against automated software, thwarting abusive activities within an organization’s website and mobile apps.
Protect against online account takeovers and fraudulent users
reCAPTCHA safeguards online systems and applications by detecting and protecting against account takeovers, blocking credential stuffing attacks and fake account creation, with zero user friction.
Bot mitigation with frictionless user experience
Safeguards your website and mobile applications from abusive traffic without compromising the user experience. reCAPTCHA employs an invisible score-based detection mechanism to differentiate between legitimate users and bots or other malicious attacks.
Online scam protection against SMS toll fraud attacks
Utilizing Google-scale fraud intelligence, reCAPTCHA’s adaptable risk analysis engine assigns a risk score to each phone number, helping organizations to identify those at risk of involvement in SMS toll fraud attacks. This enables organizations to take proactive measures by blocking suspicious SMS messages before they are sent, resulting in significant cost savings.
Protect against fraudulent transactions
Provides a transaction risk score that helps identify and block fraudulent transactions. By merging Google-scale fraud intelligence with our expertise in payment risk and modeling, reCAPTCHA helps secure payment workflows at scale.
Support for any endpoint
Protects your organization from fraud and abuse when dealing with traffic coming from any endpoint. In addition to website security, reCAPTCHA provides native mobile SDKs for iOS and Android. For endpoints that cannot run web JavaScript or mobile SDKs, reCAPTCHA Express can support clients like smart devices and IoT devices.
Online fraud management at Google-scale
Providing global insights against fraud using threat intelligence telemetry from trillions of transactions, billions of users and devices, and millions of websites, reCAPTCHA provides global insights against fraud. These insights power our detection models to help protect from fraudulent activity, spam, and abuse.
Website bot protection coverage for the entire customer journey
Offers comprehensive protection for the entire customer journey, including user-generated content, registration, login, cart, and payment transactions. This integration across various user and payment flows leverages optimized AI/ML models to enhance security.
AI/ML-powered threat detection
Uses a powerful combination of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), clustering, and neural networks to uncover the most sophisticated threats. Our AI/ML-driven threat detection is capable of identifying active attacks and uncovering the connections between adversaries and their operations.
Multi-factor authentication
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) with reCAPTCHA offers an enhanced level of security by introducing an additional authentication step for logins and other user flows. This approach helps organizations combat credential stuffing attacks and protect against account takeovers.
Password leak detection
Securely compares passwords against Google's database of over four billion leaked credentials from third-party breaches. If a match is found, you can take actions like warning the user, requiring a password change, and optionally triggering MFA. This helps mitigate account takeover risks from credential stuffing attacks, protecting both user privacy and your site's reputation.
Identify malicious fraudulent accounts
Helps you detect groups of accounts exhibiting suspicious or related behavior. This information enables you to take proactive measures like disabling related accounts, restricting their actions, or implementing additional verification processes to mitigate the impact of malicious actors.
Integrate with your web application firewall (WAF)
Integrates with your existing WAF (web application firewall) to provide enhanced detection and protection at the network edge. This integration works with WAF providers like Google Cloud Armor, Fastly, and Cloudflare. By deploying reCAPTCHA as a service at the WAF layer, you can detect and block abusive traffic before it even reaches your web application's infrastructure.
Comprehensive web app and API protection (WAAP)
Google Cloud's web app and API protection (WAAP) solution combines reCAPTCHA Enterprise, Cloud Armor, and Apigee for powerful protection. reCAPTCHA Enterprise offers advanced bot detection and fraud protection, Cloud Armor acts as a web application firewall (WAF) to block attacks, and Apigee secures your APIs through management and analytics. Together, they provide a multi-layered defense against various web threats.
Adaptive risk-analysis engine
Analyzes a vast array of signals, including user behavior, device information, IP addresses, and historical interaction patterns to assess the risk level associated with a particular action on your site or mobile app. Organizations can fine-tune the risk analysis engine to your site’s specific needs.
Comprehensive risk dashboards
Offers a dashboard with insights and analytics to help you proactively manage bot and fraud risks. The dashboard provides visibility into key metrics like overall risk scores, attack trends, challenge success rates, and the effectiveness of your risk thresholds. It also includes tools for visualizing data over time, and drilling down into suspicious activity patterns.
Cyber monitoring anomaly detection
Within the cloud-based console, you can identify traffic anomalies and leverage platform logs for further investigation. To gain insights into a specific incident, users can click a link that leads to a pre-filtered sample of all logs associated with that particular anomalous event.
Privacy preserving out of the box
reCAPTCHA secures data with client-side storage, anonymization, and privacy technologies. Data gathered is used only for reCAPTCHA's operation and security, not for personalized advertising by Google. See reCAPTCHA Terms of Service for more information.
How It Works
reCAPTCHA is a powerful bot blocker that protects websites from spam, abuse, and fraud. It works by analyzing user behavior and other factors to determine if an action is being performed by a human or a bot. If suspicious activity is detected, reCAPTCHA may take action to prevent unauthorized access, such as presenting a challenge or blocking the interaction altogether. This helps ensure websites stay protected while minimizing interruptions for legitimate users.
Here are three key capabilities:
- Adaptive risk assessment: analyzes various factors to assess the risk of a user being a bot and adjusts its response accordingly
- Advanced bot detection: employs sophisticated techniques to distinguish humans from bots, ensuring accurate identification
- Continuous learning: utilizes machine learning to constantly improve its bot detection accuracy and adapt to new threats
