Comparison

MaiGuard vs Rules-Only Fraud Systems

Static rules catch known patterns but miss evolving fraud. MaiGuard combines configurable rules with ML models, behavioral biometrics, and entity graph analysis for adaptive protection.

Capabilities vary by plan and configuration. See the scoring guide and architecture overview for details.

Rules + ML hybrid

Configurable velocity and threshold rules run alongside ML models that adapt to your transaction data — catching novel patterns rules miss.

Behavioral biometrics

Browser SDK collects keystroke, mouse, and scroll signals to distinguish bots from humans — unavailable in rules-only systems.

Shadow mode testing

Validate new rules in production without affecting live decisions. Rules-only systems require staging environments or risky direct deploys.

Entity graph analysis

Multi-hop graph traversal detects mule networks and synthetic identity rings — beyond what flat rule conditions can express.

Feedback intelligence loop

Submit outcome feedback to improve rule precision and monitor model drift over time.
