Introducing the brand new Device Fingerprinting native mobile SDK versions

True Device ID feature, a unique and persistent identifier designed for reliable device identification of returning visitors, calculated accurately from SEON Device Intelligence data.

Traditional device tracking often falls short—browser updates, app reinstalls, and system resets can break recognition, leaving gaps that fraudsters are quick to exploit.True Device ID changes the game by persistently recognizing devices, even after routine changes. If a user manipulates their setup, it generates a completely new identifier providing a clear signal of potential fraud.<customtextblock class="custom_tip" props="variant=tip">By analyzing SEON’s Device Intelligence session data, True Device ID persistently recognizes devices, even when users reset or hide their identity.&nbsp; It processes a combination of browser, device and network data points, using sophisticated algorithms to identify users even if they use evasion tactics like incognito mode, cleared cookies, app reinstalls or device resets.</customtextblock><h3>&nbsp;</h3><h3>Uncover Hidden Fraud Tactics</h3>With a stable, unique identifier, True Device ID helps detect returning users involved in:<ul><li>Bonus abuse &amp; multi-accounting</li><li>Account takeovers &amp; credential stuffing</li><li>Evasion tactics like VPNs, incognito mode &amp; system resets</li></ul>It identifies manipulation attempts across web, Android, and iOS, including:<ul><li>Browser tricks – clearing cookies, incognito mode, browser updates</li><li>App-based tactics – reinstalling apps, switching cloud accounts, tampering with system settings</li><li>Network changes – VPNs, proxies, IP switching, and network source changes</li></ul><h3>&nbsp;</h3><h3>How It Works</h3>By analyzing SEON’s Device Intelligence session data, True Device ID accurately identifies devices—even if users attempt to reset or conceal their identity.

href="https://docs.seon.io/api-reference/introduction#quick-start">API reference</a> for the up-to-date documentation on our APIs and update to the new versions today!

SEON now checks 90+ social and digital lookups

Important update: we are introducing a new API policy and sunsetting currently available endpoints. 

As part of our efforts to provide you with always up-to-date tools to fight fraud at SEON, we are sunsetting some of our currently available API endpoints and introducing brand new ones under the umbrella of our <a href="https://docs.seon.io/api-reference/api-policy">new API policy</a> and also sunsetting old, outdated Device Fingerprinting SDK versions. As part of our new API policy, we are also introducing <a href="https://docs.seon.io/api-reference/migration-guides#api-versioning-changes">a new versioning scheme</a> for all of our API endpoints.Don’t worry, you have time for the migration to the new API endpoints and/or the newest Device Fingerprinting SDK versions until May 2024. We won’t implement any changes considered as breaking changes until this date.&nbsp;

Here's everything you need to know about the new API policy and the sunsetting process, with all the measures need to be taken:What does sunsetting actually mean?&nbsp;In case of APIs, it means that after the sunsetting, any request sent to the old endpoints will be rejected.In case of SDKs, it means that <code>device_details</code> won’t be returned (it affects the rule evaluation too) if the request was sent with a sunsetted Device Fingerprinting SDK version (<code>"device_details”:null,</code> will be returned in the response).To avoid any inconveniences, here’s what you’ll need to do:- <a href="https://docs.seon.io/api-reference/api-policy">Read our new API policy</a> - Collect which API endpoints / deprecated Device Fingerprinting SDK versions are called and used by your organization - Follow the necessary API/SDK updates detailed in the <a href="https://docs.seon.io/api-reference/migration-guides">migration guides</a>. - If applicable, implement the necessary changes to stay compliant with our new API policy too.Please update to the latest available versions applicable to you as soon as possible and no later than January 31, 2024, following the detailed migration guides linked below.

Introducing the new assign functionality for better collaboration within your team and improved data exporting capabilities.

Collaboration is the cornerstone of success, and we want to make sure your team has all the necessary tools to make fighting fraud a team sport. We are introducing a new functionality enabling you and your team to assign transactions to each other for review. Make sure that no suspicious user activity gets overlooked while also keeping track of everyone’s responsibilities and efforts. In addition to this new feature, we also made exporting your transaction list faster and more convenient so you can fully harvest data and get valuable insights.&nbsp;

You can easily assign a transaction to anyone on your team (including yourself) from the Transactions list: just select the team member you want to review the transaction from the dropdown list.&nbsp;<figure class="image CUSTOM_image-modal CUSTOM_rounded CUSTOM_shadow"><img src="https://seon-website-assets.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/seon-docs/Screenshot_2023_09_11_at_11_38_49_016a9fd40a.png"></figure>Once the team member is done reviewing the transaction and changes its state to either Approve or Decline, they can also update its status <a href="https://docs.seon.io/knowledge-base/transactions-scoring/transactions-overview#transaction-states">by marking it as Completed</a>, making teamwork more efficient and transparent.Take a look at <a href="https://docs.seon.io/knowledge-base/transactions-scoring/assigning-transactions-for-review#overview">our detailed guide</a> for more information, and start assigning transactions today!&nbsp;

SEON's newest update allows you to add distance calculations to your rules.

SEON's newest functionality allows you to add distance calculations to rules. It's always suspicious when an IP address from the US orders a package to an address in Asia. Now you can flag similar transactions you’re skeptical about with ease.&nbsp;

Naturally, ecommerce providers will benefit greatly from the ability to compare billing and shipping addresses provided by users. But distance calculations can do so much more. They can even be used to counter account takeover attempts or be considered for online loan applications. Data discrepancies should always be suspicious after all. &nbsp;

Geolocational distances are not calculated by default, please get in touch with us to enable the feature.Afterward, do the following steps to set it up: go to the <a href="https://admin.seon.io/scoring-engine/custom-rules/">Custom rules tab of the Scoring Engine</a> to create a new rule and search for the all-new Geo details fields using the "distance" keyword under Value.You can add distances calculated based on the difference between user locations and addresses using these fields.<figure class="image CUSTOM_image-modal CUSTOM_rounded CUSTOM_shadow image_resized" style="width:52.37%;"><img src="https://seon-website-assets.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/seon-docs/Screenshot_2023_08_18_at_14_51_35_0621b18760.png"></figure><customtextblock class="custom_note" props="variant=note">Due to technical differences, the distances calculated in rules and those displayed in the Addresses widget may differ slightly.</customtextblock>You can create simple rules to spot when a user is attempting to log in far from their provided address, or complex velocity rules that calculate the average distances of multiple transactions to spot suspicious behavior.Head over <a href="https://admin.seon.io/scoring-engine/custom-rules/">to the Scoring Engine</a> and set up a distance-based custom rule today! &nbsp;

Our latest round of AML updates brings more accuracy and customization options, all to ease their workload while also reducing false positives and protecting your business from bad actors.


Creating a fraud-free world is a grand mission. KYC &amp; MLRO officers have a lot on their plates when it comes to identifying risky users and ensuring compliance demands are met. Our latest round of AML updates brings more accuracy with fuzzy and complex search queries and customization options with the AML monitoring settings, all to ease their workload while also reducing false positives and protecting your business from bad actors.&nbsp;

Fuzzy search lets you find results similar to, but not exactly the same as, your search query. It helps you identify names where exact matches fail. Think of typos, spelling variants, or minor differences – we got you covered. This functionality will help reduce the likelihood of missing out on potential matches, while also enabling you to reduce your workload when it comes to reviewing low-risk cases, such as PEP checks.<a href="https://docs.seon.io/knowledge-base/data-enrichment/using-fuzzy-search-in-aml-queries#overview">Visit our detailed guide on using fuzzy search</a>&nbsp;

This feature will help you determine how closely search results from fuzzy searches match the name you entered. You can change your relevancy score threshold via your AML API request, to ensure your team doesn't encounter a high number of false positives.&nbsp;

The more information you have, the more accurate results you can get. With the option of adding a place and date to your search queries, you are now able to narrow down your results and reduce false positives, to your KYC &amp; MLRO officers’ delight. &nbsp;<figure class="image CUSTOM_image-modal CUSTOM_rounded CUSTOM_shadow image_resized" style="width:57.58%;"><img src="https://seon-website-assets.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/seon-docs/Screenshot_2023_08_11_at_14_11_41_fc8f66ef60.png"></figure>&nbsp;

Depending on your local jurisdiction and risk levels, fraud prevention can get very specific to your individual business needs. Thanks to the new AML source and monitoring settings, you can finetune AML screening and decide which lists you want SEON to monitor and how often you want these lists to be updated.You'll be able to edit which data source types you'd like to monitor from the Admin Panel. Not every company is required to monitor PEPs and watchlists for example, you can now ease your team's workload by cutting the data you don't need from their processes.<a href="https://docs.seon.io/knowledge-base/data-enrichment/aml-source-and-monitoring-settings#overview">Read more on source and monitoring settings</a>&nbsp;

Designed to enhance your fraud detection capabilities, this new feature identifies and groups likely algorithmically generated email addresses.

We're pleased to announce the addition of a powerful new feature - Email clusters. Designed to enhance your fraud detection capabilities, this tool identifies and groups likely algorithmically generated email addresses, using data from the past 30 days.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The clusters provide valuable insights by displaying all associated emails, users, the number of transactions, the total amount involved, and the last activity linked to the cluster. Our tool also offers the convenience of transaction filtering and user data checking for deeper investigation.Moreover, when our system uncovers additional connected data points, it creates machine learning rules to block potential fraudsters, you can easily activate it as per your requirements.To leverage this feature, go to the <a href="https://admin.seon.io/workbench/email-clusters">Email Clusters</a> tab of the Monitoring page and see if SEON has identified any email clusters in your system. Embrace this enhanced layer of protection and fortify your system against potential fraud.<figure class="image CUSTOM_image-modal CUSTOM_rounded CUSTOM_shadow image_resized" style="width:82.69%;"><img src="https://seon-website-assets.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/seon-docs/Screenshot_2023_08_09_at_14_38_45_283fadd9c0.png"></figure>To learn more about email clustering, visit our <a href="https://docs.seon.io/knowledge-base/transactions-scoring/email-clusters#overview">dedicated guide in the Knowledge Base</a>. &nbsp;

Our latest AML update brings data coverage to businesses, vessels, NGOs, and other organizations with Entity search. 


Fraud can come in all shapes and forms: for instance, it’s not always one particular fraudster you need to look out for, but rather a legal entity the bad actors are hiding behind. In other words, it's not just knowing your customer (KYC) you have to worry about but knowing the businesses (KYB) you deal with too. Now onto the good news: our latest AML update brings data coverage to businesses, vessels, NGOs, and other organizations with Entity search. Introducing our <a href="/api-reference/aml-entity-api">AML Entity API</a>.&nbsp;

SEON's AML Entity API allows you to run queries for organizations through the AML API to check if they are listed on any Sanctions or Watchlists so that you can be sure you’re not doing business with a dodgy entity. Being aware of these alerts can save you money by avoiding risky actors who conduct financial crimes while also saving money by avoiding non-compliant fines.Our extensive and always up-to-date search engine contains data on sanctioned entities worldwide. What’s even better, SEON’s database also distinguishes between minor and severe financial transgressions in order to focus on issues that pose the greatest risk to our consumers.<customtextblock class="custom_tip" props="variant=tip">Learn more about how AML Entity API works and how you can use it in your AML or Fraud API <a href="https://docs.seon.io/knowledge-base/data-enrichment/entity-search#overview">from our Knowledge Base</a>!</customtextblock>&nbsp;

Use SEON's Machine Learning segmentation options to get rule recommendations for different brands, sites, and markets!

Use SEON's Machine Learning segmentation options to get rule recommendations for different brands, sites, and markets! International businesses and iGaming operators with several sub-brands can now create multiple instances of our Whitebox Machine Learning solution; each focused on a different branch of their business. &nbsp;

Operating different sites, offerings, and brands, or across borders, can be challenging, and unique fraud threats are quick to appear. For example, an eCommerce business may face varying fraud methods in different countries, or an iGaming provider may see different games exploited differently.Market segmentation settings help you tell SEON which field of your API requests you use to differentiate between campaigns, brands, or locations. Our machine learning models will then train on these groups of transactions specifically. The result: finetuned automated fraud prevention honed to catch the fraudsters targeting your different market segments.You'll be able to segment your transactions using the merchant ID, action type, affiliate ID, brand ID, or bonus campaign ID field. For example, to create segments for different countries, you can set up Merchant or Brand IDs on a per country basis.<customtextblock class="custom_note" props="variant=note">You can't segment your markets based on IP or Device location data.

Introducing the Organization page, your central hub for managing your team and accessing your license keys.

Say hello to the new Organization page, formerly known as the Team page! In addition to getting a brand new name, the page also got a spring revamp, including a couple of improvements that will make it your central hub for managing your SEON team, accessing all team-related information, and assigning roles to team members.&nbsp; &nbsp;

See how the Role Groups tab looks so organized and color-coordinated? Our role is to make adding, editing, and overviewing role groups as simple as possible for you, and we implemented this latest round of improvements to do just that.<figure class="image CUSTOM_rounded CUSTOM_shadow CUSTOM_image-modal image_resized" style="width:69.58%;"><img src="https://seon-website-assets.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/seon-docs/Screenshot_2023_04_26_at_10_21_11_478c5e95da_f5d24c4cd1.png"></figure>&nbsp;

Under the Details tab of the Organization page, you’ll find details about your organization, including your company name and industry. Additionally, we moved the Production license key and the Sandbox license key over here from the My Account page. You’ll need both of these keys to set up your API integrations.Just one thing left to do: don’t hesitate to take a tour of the better-than-ever <a href="https://admin.seon.io/team">Organization page</a>! &nbsp;

Reorganized Admin pages for even more organized teamwork

Save your team time and effort by labeling transactions as Completed once you're done manually reviewing them.

For every minute spent organizing, an hour is earned. Save your team precious time and effort by keeping track of transactions you have to review manually. Take advantage of our brand new functionality and mark transactions as Completed once you’ve updated their state. This way, you and your team can better monitor all the transactions that still need your attention and those that have already gone through the process.&nbsp;

You can access all the available information for manually reviewing a transaction in the Transaction Details view. Once you’re done and have made all the necessary adjustments, you can simply use the Mark as completed button in the top right corner of the Transaction summary widget.This way, the transaction will also get a blue Completed label, letting your teammates know that this particular transaction has already got the attention and evaluation it required.If necessary, you can come back to the Transaction Details view and redo this action by clicking the Mark as incomplete button. When looking for transactions still waiting for a manual review, you can now create a filter using the Transaction status data field and search for Completed and Incomplete transactions separately.<figure class="image CUSTOM_rounded CUSTOM_shadow CUSTOM_image-modal image_resized" style="width:86.49%;"><img src="https://seon-website-assets.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/seon-docs/Screenshot_2023_04_17_at_16_02_28_e12b7b1389.png"></figure>&nbsp; &nbsp;

Mark transactions as Completed for better collaboration and transparency

We're rolling out a collection of new Default rules that will help you fight four typical fraud types without in-depth customization.

We're rolling out a collection of new Default rules that will help you fight four typical fraud types without in-depth customization. The 97 new rules are divided into four rule categories and designed to catch fraudsters targeting your organization at different stages of the customer journey.&nbsp;

Fraud can rear its ugly head whenever someone interacts with your site. We've designed these rules with this in mind to counter its most common occurrences.<ul><li>Registration rules: It's best to stem the flow of fraud at its source. Block fraudsters and bots from registering fake accounts for multi-accounting, abusing bonuses, or placing fraudulent orders.</li><li>Login rules: Account takeover attacks are a major risk for you and your users – and both of you lose out if fraudsters are successful. Spot suspicious login attempts to stop account takeovers, avoid chargebacks, or the fraudulent transfer of funds from user accounts.</li><li>Payment rules: Avoid fraudulent payments, friendly and family fraud with SEON's purpose-built default rules. Blocking suspicious payments can reduce chargeback rates and helps you avoid the cost of handling fraudulent orders in general.</li><li>Merchant rules: Designed for our partners in ecommerce, couple these rules with those in the Payment rules category to improve the protection of your online store. Catch suspicious orders or merchants before they damage your business.</li></ul>&nbsp;

If you're new to SEON, you should see the new rule categories on the Default Rules tab of the Scoring Engine. If you've been with us for a while, <a href="https://admin.seon.io/support/">reach out</a> to our Technical Services team and they'll be more than happy to add these rules to your account.To avoid any issues and conflicts with your existing rulesets, these rules are turned off by default. Flip the toggle switch on the left side of a rule's name to turn it on in your account.&nbsp;

Democratizing fraud prevention – New use case-specific Default rules for day one protection

We're excited to announce our GPT-powered integration, making machine learning rules even easier to understand.

Fraud prevention can be complicated, but it doesn't have to be. That's why we're excited to announce our integration with OpenAI's GPT, making machine learning rules even easier to understand.<h2>&nbsp;</h2>

We get it. This isn't immediately easy to interpret:<code>cpu_speed &lt;= '2283.699951171875' AND only_domain_profile != 'true' AND phone_api_google_exists = 'false' AND region_timezone IN ('+02:00','+03:00','-08:00','-07:00') AND user_label_residential_status IN ('LivingWithParents','Homeowner')</code>By applying GPT, you no longer glaze over:<code>User has low CPU speed, is registered on external sites, has no Google Phone number and is from timezones with residential status LivingWithParents/Homeowner - suspicious activity.</code>When the Whitebox algorithm generates a rule, we use GPT to make it make sense. From Boolean Logic to simple English, you'll know exactly what each rule does and how it arrived at a risk score.<h2>&nbsp;</h2>

And don't worry, your data is safe with SEON. We redact all personally identifiable business information before sharing it with GPT (operated by OpenAI), protecting your privacy.<h2>&nbsp;</h2>

Simply login and head to the Machine Learning tab of the Scoring Engine. You'll see how your existing machine-learning rules are now even easier to understand.&nbsp;

SEON & GPT-3: Simplifying Complex Anti-Fraud Rules

Introducing the Transaction summary widget to the overall snappier and more responsive Transaction Details pages.

The Transaction Details pages got a spring update! We've made several under-the-hood changes to make the page snappier and more responsive than ever. You’ll notice that the pages got faster and smoother, but as part of our efforts to make collaboration in SEON easier, we also made some improvements to an existing functionality. In addition, by introducing a transaction summary to each page, you can better track the status of transactions.&nbsp;

When opening a Transaction Details page, you’ll now find a Transaction summary widget right at the top. This widget includes basic information, such as the risk score, the user, the action type, or the transaction amount.&nbsp;<figure class="image CUSTOM_rounded CUSTOM_shadow CUSTOM_image-modal image_resized" style="width:86.23%;"><img src="https://seon-website-assets.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/seon-docs/transaction_details_mark_complete_272d584026.png"></figure>&nbsp;

You can change the transaction status using the button above the Transaction summary widget. This will save you and your team precious time. You are now also able to add multiple notes to the same transaction. Thanks to this new capability, your team members can also share information more efficiently on the Transaction Details page.&nbsp;

The updated Transaction Details page is released to all SEON customers. You don't have to do or change anything, but remember to reach out to our Technical Services team if you run into any problems.&nbsp;

Lightning track cuts response times significantly, enabling near real-time transaction analysis using SEON.

Designed as an option for our highly time-sensitive customers, such as payment providers, payment gateways and ecommerce, SEON's lightning track reduces our fraud prevention response times to a few hundred milliseconds. Your exact speeds will depend on the type of queries you're running and your connection characteristics.Lightning track uses an async method so that our Scoring Engine can process scores and rules at even faster speeds.&nbsp;We recommend this option for certain workflows for transaction processing, where you need to prioritise speed and response time.&nbsp;This implementation is available after a consultation and scoping session with our technical Technical Services team. This is to make sure lightning track can serve your specific use case for significant gains.&nbsp;With lightning track, you can also pair real-time transaction analysis with feedback, without using Label API separately. This allows you to train SEON’s machine learning at speed and ease.For now, lightning track is an opt-in feature. Reach out to our <a href="https://login.seon.io/?redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fadmin.seon.io%2Fsupport">Technical Services Team</a> if you’d like a technical scoping session to see if it can work for you.<customtextblock class="custom_learn_more" props="variant=learnMore">Lightning track is designed to benefit select SEON implementations.

New options let you configure priority timeouts and desired accuracy settings from the admin panel. Custom lists are also no longer mutually exclusive.

You can now change your priority platform timeout settings from the SEON Admin panel. Head to the General tab of the <a href="https://admin.seon.io/settings">settings page</a> and click the toggle if you want to give us more time to find profiles on selected social and digital platforms. Learn more about how to use these settings from our <a href="https://docs.seon.io/knowledge-base/guides/setting-priority-platform-timeouts">detailed guide</a>.<h2>&nbsp;</h2>

In some cases, it’s more important to have as much accurate data as possible. Use the new desired accuracy settings and let SEON automatically adjust your timeouts to ensure you always get a valid response from your selected priority platforms. You can learn more about these settings in our <a href="https://docs.seon.io/knowledge-base/guides/using-the-desired-accuracy-settings">hands-on guide</a>.&nbsp;

Your custom lists are no longer mutually exclusive. As a result, you can now add the same transaction or data field to several custom lists. You don’t have to change anything; just start adding data to as many lists as needed. Of course, you can’t have the same value on the black and whitelists.<a href="https://admin.seon.io/support">Reach out</a> to our team if you have any questions about these changes.&nbsp;

Control timeouts and lists in detail

In our newest update, we are bringing you a handful of useful features and tweaks that will make SEON more accurate – all in one breath.

In our newest update, we are bringing you a handful of useful features and tweaks that will make SEON more accurate – all in one breath.

Changes to the BIN API will make it easier for you to stop fraudsters who are using card types previously not recognized by SEON. As a part of these changes you'll see:<ul><li>Improved accuracy from our BIN API data enrichment;</li><li>Card type information now details if a card is pre-paid, virtual, or a gift card.</li></ul>

We know IP location information can be vital in blocking fraudulent transactions, especially when you cross-check that data with shipment addresses. The latest update offers:<ul><li>Better accuracy for IP geolocation data;</li><li>A rollout that does not require any integration from your team.</li></ul>

Version 1.4 of the Phone API also includes accuracy-focused changes. However, these changes will only take effect if you update your API requests, to ensure all your rules carry on working as intended. If you update, you can expect:<ul><li>More accurate information about phone carriers and networks, however, some carrier names may change requiring you to update any affected rule;</li><li>Better phone type recognition to inform you if a customer has provided a cell or landline number.</li></ul>

These long-awaited features will help ensure you're always making decisions based on the data that is most important to you. &nbsp;You can access these settings already via API and they'lll soon be available in the Admin Panel as well.<ul><li>Select key social and digital platforms and define a longer timeout to ensure a valid response.</li><li>Set a desired accuracy threshold and let us change your timeouts automatically, when time is less of an issue.</li></ul>

Improved accuracy for IP, BIN, email, phone, and platform checks

Our recently released blackbox machine learning solution is now generally available, meaning every single SEON customer can benefit from its speed and accuracy.

Our recently released blackbox machine learning solution is now generally available, meaning every single SEON customer can benefit from its speed and accuracy.Our newest machine learning feature will now use a base model when scoring transactions in profiles with fewer than 1000 handled transactions. The blackbox base model is trained and retrained on thousands of transactions that SEON has handled.&nbsp;Our team of world-class data scientists carefully curated the dataset to ensure it provides consistent and accurate results no matter your business or where you operate. As a result, everyone, including the newest and smallest accounts, will benefit from the full power of SEON's fraud-fighting capabilities.

Of course, the blackbox model will perform even better when trained on data unique to your business. To keep things simple, as soon as your profile passes 1000 transactions with at least 100 blocked transactions, our blackbox model will start retraining itself on your data.Despite the outstanding performance of our base model, we are sure that you'll see even better results after the switch, helping you identify fraud patterns unique to your business.

For more information about our blackbox machine learning solution and a detailed run down of its capabilities, visit the <a href="https://docs.seon.io/whatsnew/leveraging-the-blazing-speed-of-blackbox-machine-learning-while-keeping-decision-making-transparent">update announcement page</a>.<figure class="image CUSTOM_image-modal CUSTOM_rounded CUSTOM_shadow image_resized image-style-align-left" style="width:47.55%;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/w1km9gpd1UI9WHBe-nHJiB-OH3Exwi-lQqvjRnKEWjToHgrpA-lE9H5TGSKVZT9AOTc2AkJTL7ZAKfSdfeIPrLz0QpKw0dWokizNTq23XM1LoQbodqpiFgeYcopigalrhBb5_VJ6iQstpnHa1w"></figure>If you'd like to start using the solution, visit the Machine Learning tab of the Settings page in SEON. Click the toggles under the Blackbox Score heading to adjust the settings to your needs.&nbsp;It's easiest to start by setting up auto-approve and auto-decline after configuring the thresholds that suit your needs and risk appetite. If you'd like to test the model first, you can monitor Blackbox scores without affecting your transactions. To do this, click the top toggle but leave the other two settings off.&nbsp;Once enabled, you can also add the blackbox score to your API integration.

If you’d like to use blackbox scoring, simply visit your Settings page to enable it. This blackbox model automatically becomes available for users with at least 1000 transactions where a minimum of 100 transactions are in the declined state. This update doesn’t interrupt your existing integration —you can continue using the same API version.<figure class="image CUSTOM_rounded CUSTOM_shadow CUSTOM_image-modal image_resized" style="width:47.61%;"><img src="https://seon-website-assets.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/seon-docs/blackbox_setup_b8ec94b561.png"></figure> Once activated, blackbox machine learning scores are layered into the scoring decision powered by the Scoring Engine. For visibility, you will see the probability returned by the algorithm, alongside a fraud score that is calculated based on your existing Default and Custom rules.With blackbox scoring activated, you can request blackbox scores as blackbox_score in the Fraud API’s config object using the response_fields parameter. See our documentation for our <a href="https://docs.seon.io/api-reference#fraud-api">Fraud API here</a>.It's also easy to create Custom rules that use blackbox scores as input. E.g. If blackbox score is greater than 70, change the transaction state to REVIEW. This gives you additional data points to make decisions with more confidence, plus the transparency to see how and why a specific score was reached.The Applied Rules widget on your dashboard will also display the blackbox score.The blackbox score of each transaction helps create statistics, reports, and modeling charts as another way to look at your data to spot trends.As the blackbox model trains itself periodically in the background and learns at speed, it doesn’t require any maintenance from your end.To refine accuracy even quicker, you can use our <a href="https://docs.seon.io/api-reference#label-api">Label API</a> to provide <a href="https://docs.seon.io/api-reference#step-3-feedback">feedback</a>. Or, login via the <a href="https://login.seon.io/">Admin Panel</a> to apply manual state changes (re-classification of APPROVE, REVIEW, DECLINE states). Both of these methods will help the algorithm learn and adapt to your business’s risk model.Make sure to contact our <a href="https://admin.seon.io/support/">Technical Services team</a> if you ever need any additional support. We are at hand to help you get the most performance, precision, and recall of our blackbox scoring.

Leveraging the blazing speed of blackbox machine learning while keeping decision making transparent

We rolled out an update to rule categories in SEON, giving you the ability to assign a unique score and state to actions or transactions based on the rule categories they trigger.

We rolled out an update to rule categories in SEON, giving you the ability to assign a unique score and state to actions or transactions based on the rule categories they trigger. By separating different use cases, it makes it easier and quicker to make decisions for each of those situations.

Rule category settingsYou can find the new category settings under your Scoring Engine in the Custom Rules tab. All you need to do is click the three dots next to the name of the category you want to edit.<figure class="image CUSTOM_rounded CUSTOM_shadow CUSTOM_image-modal image_resized" style="width:24.87%;"><img src="https://seon-website-assets.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/seon-docs/category_settings_de368f3d50.png"></figure>Set up score and category states&nbsp; We added two new options: category score and category states. We wrote a step-by-step guide on how to apply these new settings — <a href="https://docs.seon.io/knowledge-base/guides/set-up-custom-scoring-and-states-with-rule-categories">check it out</a>.<figure class="image CUSTOM_rounded CUSTOM_shadow CUSTOM_image-modal image_resized" style="width:68.68%;"><img src="https://seon-website-assets.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/seon-docs/category_score_category_state_d65adfb869.png"><figcaption>Setting category scores and category states</figcaption></figure>Bulk-edit rules From now on, you can add category-specific rule parameters, allowing you to apply conditions to every single rule in a category of your choice.<figure class="image image_resized CUSTOM_image-modal CUSTOM_shadow CUSTOM_rounded" style="width:68%;"><img src="https://seon-website-assets.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/seon-docs/advance_rule_categories_parameters_9a18b399d1.png"><figcaption>Category-specific rule parameters</figcaption></figure>&nbsp;
