Understanding what devices and browsers your users are using is critical for both fraud prevention and user experience. TrustPath's Device Intelligence leverages proven open-source user-agent parsing technology to provide accurate, detailed information about every request to your platform.
Comprehensive Device Detection
Built on trusted open-source libraries, our device intelligence accurately parses user-agent strings and device signals to identify:
- Device Information: Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet), manufacturer, and specific model
- Operating Systems: OS name, version, and platform details across Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and more
- Browser Details: Browser type, version, rendering engine, and capabilities
- Bot Detection: Automated bots, search engine crawlers, scrapers, and headless browsers
Real-World Fraud Detection Applications
Device intelligence provides critical context for fraud prevention:
- Suspicious Configurations: Detect outdated browser versions, mismatched user-agent strings, or impossible device combinations
- Bot Traffic: Identify automated scripts, credential stuffing attacks, and scraping attempts disguised as legitimate browsers
- Device Anomalies: Flag unexpected device changes, unusual operating system patterns, or headless browser usage
- Access Pattern Analysis: Combine device data with fingerprinting and behavioral signals for comprehensive threat detection
