Cybersecurity leader GeoComply has officially launched DeviceGuard, an advanced device intelligence solution built to combat sophisticated digital manipulation. This advanced solution not only detects physical location and system manipulation but goes way further than traditional device fingerprinting. Moreover, DeviceGuard can be used for the protection of various global industries within mobile applications and web browsers. Thus, the technology will be useful for iGaming operators, video streaming platforms, fintech websites, and social networks.
What is more important, regulators have been requiring physical location detection for GeoComply for more than 10 years. Criminals usually manipulate hardware signals through resetting, rooting, jailbreaking, and spoofing device identifiers. However, DeviceGuard deals with such problems directly by studying 300 million devices and 2.5 billion signals every month. Following beta testing in mid-2025, DeviceGuard scored over one million fraud cases across 89 major enterprise customers during early 2026. Therefore, security teams now receive high-precision intelligence necessary for immediate, automated threat response.
“A device can tell you anything about itself. Our job, for the past fourteen years, has been to know what’s actually true,” said Steven Vo, Chief Technology Officer of GeoComply. “That is what DeviceGuard gives a fraud team: over a decade of context on whether a device has been wiped, faked, or seen before under another name. The customers kept turning it on in more places, and that is what told us it was ready.”
Overcoming Limitations of Traditional Device Fingerprinting
Meanwhile, conventional device fingerprinting faces increasing operational limitations across modern digital channels. Apple and Google made durable device identifiers resettable, allowing users to wipe transaction history easily. Similarly, anti-detect web browsers generate completely fresh online identities to bypass standard risk systems. In addition, bad actors leverage accessible artificial intelligence tools to execute complex spoofing attacks at scale.
Stolen identity data is cheap too: an identity can be bought and the verification faked. But the device underneath can’t be. In a recent review with one customer, 93% of confirmed fraudsters had cleared identity verification, including photo verification, before DeviceGuard flagged them on the device.
Finally, DeviceGuard operates smoothly in shadow mode to evaluate live traffic without disrupting genuine users. Integrating DeviceGuard provides real-time fraud scoring for both mobile native apps and desktop browser sessions. Ultimately, adopting DeviceGuard helps risk management teams establish robust defense measures against evolving cyber threats.
