GreatHorn, the leading cloud email security provider focused on managing risk from advanced email threats, unveiled the first and only biometric solution that effectively identifies compromised accounts and blocks takeover attempts by validating users with their unique typing patterns.

The addition of Account Takeover Protection to the GreatHorn Email Security platform-which automatically combines data science, machine learning techniques, and technical analysis with human context-ensures that customers have the most comprehensive and powerful protection against the most sophisticated threats.

Built on top of GreatHorn Reporter, GreatHorn's client-side plug-in, Account Takeover Protection uses machine learning techniques to capture a user's unique typing pattern on both desktop and mobile devices.

"Most email solutions rely on binary or perimeter-based analysis to prevent email attacks, but these methods fail to identify when a legitimate account has been compromised," said Kevin O'Brien, co-founder and CEO, GreatHorn.

"Our Account Takeover solution uses proprietary, best-in-class keystroke analysis to match typing patterns as a unique identifier. Your typing pattern is unique to you and extremely difficult to replicate, making it highly accurate and nearly impossible to circumvent. And because the action of typing is a part of a user's everyday workflow, it allows for periodic validation with minimal disruption."
