New Tools Offer Advanced Fraud Detection
Riskified, a leader in ecommerce fraud and risk intelligence, has launched a groundbreaking suite of AI tools aimed at enhancing ecommerce risk management. Announced during the Ascend 2026 summit in New York on May 6th, these tools offer merchants improved visibility and control over fraud and risk patterns.
The newly introduced capabilities include Riskified ARIA, the AI Risk Analyst, Identity Explore 2.0, and an enhanced Decision Studio. These tools are designed to empower fraud teams with the ability to analyse risk intelligence across multiple touchpoints in real-time. Riskified ARIA operates securely within Riskified’s unified platform, tapping directly into billions of network signals, cross-platform patterns, and performance diagnostics.
Eido Gal, CEO and Cofounder of Riskified, stated, “Our merchants need more than just accurate decisions. They want to explore their business in real-time, understand the context behind the data, and take action with total confidence.” This was further emphasised by the significant focus placed on the importance of understanding the ‘why’ behind every transaction and pattern.
Tools and Capabilities
Riskified ARIA allows merchants to access network data and identity signals, providing detailed insights into risk trends. In contrast, Identity Explore 2.0 offers a comprehensive view of identities across devices and merchants, exposing hidden accounts and suspicious patterns. The enhanced Decision Studio enables fraud teams to convert insights into actionable business rules. These rules leverage identity and network patterns to help distinguish legitimate customers from risky behaviors.
With the rise of AI-driven fraud attacks, particularly in agentic commerce where AI bots conduct transactions for consumers, Riskified’s suite offers continuous intelligence throughout the customer journey instead of isolated decisions at checkout. This innovation is crucial as global ecommerce continues to expand, with losses from AI-driven fraud attacks projected to increase significantly.
At Ascend 2026, a live survey involving over $1.1 trillion in total processing volume revealed that 78% of merchants are now engaging with AI shopping assistants, indicating a major shift in ecommerce strategy towards AI-driven customer interaction. This shift highlights the need for merchants to understand and react to threats swiftly, without compromising revenue.
The Ascend 2026 summit, held at the Conrad New York Downtown, showcased these innovations and highlighted the importance of understanding the ‘why’ behind every transaction and pattern. Merchants require autonomy to adapt instantly to emerging threats. Riskified aims to empower merchants with the ability to adapt to threats quickly without compromising revenue, thereby addressing the rapidly growing global ecommerce market and the projected increase in losses from AI-driven fraud.
Eido Gal emphasised, “For over a decade, Riskified has focused on delivering accurate decisions through network data and identity models. Now, they are providing merchants with unprecedented access to platform intelligence, allowing for further tailored risk management.” The company’s commitment to innovation and merchant empowerment remains steadfast as they continue to lead in the field of ecommerce risk intelligence.
