Luminate
Luminate is the definitive fraud prevention solution that uses advanced analytics, machine learning and intelligent data orchestration to create meaningful insights. These insights can help risk managers simplify, clarify and speed identity verification and authentication checks. Fraud decisions can now effectively be managed across the consumer account lifecycle.
New Functionalities
App Owner Change (02/02/2022)
App owners can now change the ownership for the app to someone else. This change will benefit both internal and external users when the app owner is no longer associated with the account. It will also reduce time for API Dev and helps with security concerns.
Adding IPs to Whitelist (02/02/2022)
Improved functionality for adding whitelisted IPs so it's more intuitive.
Password Reset Update (02/02/2022)
The password reset functionality has been updated by dimming the Save button until all rules have been appeased, and the error messages have been updated to match the Registration messages.
Contact Us Page (02/02/2022)
The Contact Us page has been enhanced to include instructions on how customers can get support for UAT and Production issues.
Hiding, Deactivating, and Deleting Apps (02/02/2022)
Users can now clean up their dashboards by hiding apps they don't want or need to be displayed on their dashboard, and they can deactivate or entirely delete apps they no longer need. Hiding simply places the App in the Hidden tab, where it can be shown again. Deactivate stops production traffic, if it is setup, for a period of time, but can later be reinstated. Deleting removes the App entirely and also halts all production traffic.
