Where fresh proxy intelligence changes the decision.
Solarflare API gives teams a fresh observed proxy signal they can add to risk, abuse, traffic-quality, and security workflows. Use it as an enrichment layer beside the controls you already run.
Fraud prevention
Fraud teams can use Solarflare as a fresh network signal beside device, identity, payment, and behavioral features. It is strongest where an event looks normal in-app but the network path suggests obfuscation.
- Challenge
- Account farms, mule activity, credential stuffing, and payment fraud often rotate through residential or mobile proxies to look like ordinary users.
- Solarflare fit
- Enrich signup, login, payment, and profile-change events with observed proxy status, confidence, network type, and last-seen recency.
- Outcome
- Fewer false negatives on clean-looking risky sessions.
Common workflows
- Raise step-up verification on high-confidence proxy sessions.
- Add proxy recency to account takeover and new-account risk models.
- Route borderline transactions to review before fulfillment.
Signals used
- observed_proxy
- confidence
- network_type
- last_seen
Bot detection
Bot teams can blend Solarflare with velocity, device, JavaScript, and behavior signals to catch automation that hides behind realistic browser fingerprints.
- Challenge
- Credential stuffing, scraping, fake registrations, and inventory abuse increasingly use proxy pools that mimic normal consumer access patterns.
- Solarflare fit
- Score requests with a proxy-observation signal before expensive downstream checks or during bot-policy evaluation.
- Outcome
- Cleaner bot rules with fewer blocks on legitimate users.
Common workflows
- Throttle high-volume routes when proxy confidence and request velocity rise together.
- Separate real residential users from automation routed through proxy networks.
- Feed proxy-aware features into WAF, bot manager, and abuse queues.
Signals used
- confidence
- last_seen
- provider diversity
- bulk output
Ad-tech & traffic quality
Ad-tech teams can use Solarflare to add network provenance to click, impression, conversion, bid, and supply-quality decisions without replacing existing measurement systems.
- Challenge
- Invalid traffic can use proxies to create believable geo, device, and ISP distribution while still originating from coordinated infrastructure.
- Solarflare fit
- Attach observed proxy metadata to traffic-quality scoring, post-bid analysis, and partner reporting.
- Outcome
- More explainable traffic-quality decisions for buyers and partners.
Common workflows
- Downrank proxy-heavy inventory before budget is spent.
- Audit campaign traffic by proxy confidence, network type, and geography.
- Investigate publishers or placements with concentrated proxy patterns.
Signals used
- network_type
- confidence
- last_seen
- bulk enrichment
Threat intelligence
Security teams can add Solarflare to detection engineering, enrichment, and investigation pipelines so analysts know when an IP was recently observed in proxy infrastructure.
- Challenge
- Alerts often contain IPs with limited context. Static reputation can miss fast-moving proxy exits or fail to show how recent the observation is.
- Solarflare fit
- Join fresh proxy observations onto SIEM events, case records, firewall logs, and threat-intel objects.
- Outcome
- Faster triage with clearer network-context evidence.
Common workflows
- Prioritize alerts where proxy recency aligns with suspicious activity.
- Add observed proxy context to SOAR enrichment and case triage.
- Backfill historical events with bulk analysis after an incident.
Signals used
- last_seen
- confidence
- network_type
- observed_proxy
Marketplaces
Marketplace trust teams can use Solarflare to improve decisions around sellers, buyers, listings, reviews, promotions, and dispute workflows.
- Challenge
- Bad actors can create linked accounts, evade bans, test stolen credentials, or manipulate listings while appearing to come from unrelated locations.
- Solarflare fit
- Use proxy intelligence as one signal in account-linking, trust scoring, moderation, and payout holds.
- Outcome
- More durable trust controls without punishing normal marketplace use.
Common workflows
- Apply extra checks to new sellers using high-confidence proxy exits.
- Detect suspicious clusters across account creation and listing activity.
- Protect buyers by slowing risky inventory or promotion behavior.
Signals used
- observed_proxy
- confidence
- network_type
- last_seen
Fintech & payments
Fintech teams can add Solarflare to onboarding, KYC, transaction monitoring, account funding, and payout risk without changing core ledger or payment flows.
- Challenge
- Money movement attracts account takeover, synthetic identity, bonus abuse, and payment fraud where the network path is often hidden behind proxy infrastructure.
- Solarflare fit
- Send transaction, onboarding, and session IPs through Solarflare before deciding whether to approve, step up, hold, or review.
- Outcome
- More context for high-impact financial decisions.
Common workflows
- Add proxy status to KYC and new-account scoring.
- Step up high-risk payout or card-not-present events.
- Monitor proxy concentration across funding, transfer, and dispute flows.
Signals used
- confidence
- last_seen
- network_type
- bulk analysis
