Castle & Twilio Segment – Instant Account Defense
Securing apps and users from account abuse has long been a resource-draining challenge for security and fraud teams, irrespective of company size. The setup process alone can span months, if not years, with the complexity and need for maintenance escalating over time.
Castle has just flipped the script. As a cutting edge account defense platform, Castle now integrates with Twilio Segment as part of our ongoing mission to protect the users of the Internet from bots, fraud, and account abuse.
This integration drastically transforms account defense from an exhausting endeavor into a quick, streamlined task that can be setup in minutes. Castle, with its customizable and user-friendly interface, doesn't merely offer protection against various forms of account abuse–it also adapts seamlessly to counter the unique challenges and abuse vectors confronting your platform.

One Solution For Any Account Abuse
Castle streamlines the process of setting up a system to monitor and prevent account abuse. Traditional methods often demand extensive resources to identify the right data and user actions to monitor, set up rules and rate limits, and tune the logic against evolving threats.
This process can now be simplified by leveraging the data you're already tracking via Twilio Segment. As a user-friendly and resource-efficient solution, Castle tackles key abuse vectors unique to your platform by monitoring and addressing them in real-time with a flexible rules engine:
- Fake Accounts: Castle uses a combination of enriched data points, custom velocity aggregations, and dynamic blocklists to weed out bad actors before or after signup, segmenting out new accounts based on similarity to other accounts, bot behavior, and blocklists.
- Account Takeover: Castle's robust device fingerprinting and risk scores provide comprehensive insights into unusual activities associated with your users' accounts, helping protect against unauthorized access and securing your user's data.
- Multi-accounting: With Castle, you can identify when users create numerous accounts from the same device or IP address, helping you to mitigate this common form of online abuse that can lead to spamming or exploitation of promotional offers.
- Account Sharing: By tracking the number of simultaneous IP addresses and device fingerprints associated with each account, Castle can help you define and enforce acceptable levels of account sharing, keeping your subscription-based services fair and profitable.
- And much more: in addition to these key use-cases, the possibilities with Castle are endless. Our solution is highly customizable to match the unique needs of your platform, enabling you to efficiently weed out online abuse right from the get-go. The integration with Twilio Segment enriches the analysis with detailed user data, further enhancing Castle's ability to safeguard your platform.
