01
Brute Force & Keyloggers
Repeated guesses and captured keystrokes reveal text—not the complete color-and-style interaction.
PROTECTION APPROACH
One identity defense.
One identity defense.
Multiple layers of protection.
Rainbow Secure combines Human-Verified authentication, contextual policy, governed access, threat response and audit evidence. Each layer addresses a different part of the identity attack journey.
THE CORE PRINCIPLE
A valid credential should not automatically equal trusted access.
Passwords and tokens can be copied. Devices can be compromised. Privileges can outlive their business need. Rainbow Secure evaluates more than one signal and keeps the resulting decision reviewable.
FOUR PRIORITY THREATS
What an attacker captures may still be incomplete.
Start with four common attack journeys. Rainbow Secure is Human-Verified, not biometric-verified: it uses intentional interaction and available context rather than fingerprints, face recognition, iris scans or voiceprints.
FAKE
TEXT ONLY

VERIFIED JOURNEY
VISUAL DNA + INTERACTION
02
Phishing & Social Engineering
A copied login page is missing the organization’s approved visual and interaction dimensions.
03
AI & Automated Bots
Automated requests still face a dynamic step that requires the assigned human interaction.

04
Session Hijacking & Replay
Changes in device, IP, location, time or behavior can trigger re-evaluation, challenge or blocking.
Protection across the complete identity journey.
Organizations can begin with the layer addressing their most urgent risk and expand as requirements grow.
Verify the human
Add a dynamic color-and-style interaction so captured credential text is not the complete login evidence.
Evaluate context
Review available device, location, time, IP and behavioral signals when policy requires them.
Control access
Apply roles, groups, application assignments and security policies to determine what the verified person may use.
Govern high-risk access
Add time limits, independent approvals and named-user accountability to shared or privileged journeys.
Detect and respond
Surface suspicious activity and use configured alerts, blocking or account lockdown responses.
Preserve evidence
Keep timestamped, attributable and searchable records for investigation and audit preparation.
How the approach responds to common identity threats.
The protection available in a specific deployment depends on the products, integrations and policies selected.
PROTECTS AGAINST
Credential theft, stuffing and replay
Leaked passwords, copied OTPs, credential reuse, dictionary attacks, keylogging
- ✓ Text alone can be made insufficient through Human-Verified formatting
- ✓ Dynamic challenges reduce the value of captured session evidence
- ✓ Risk policy can add stronger verification when context changes
PROTECTS AGAINST
Phishing and social engineering
Cloned sign-in pages, spear phishing, prompt bombing, accidental approvals
- ✓ Rainbow Secure does not rely on simple Approve/Deny push prompts
- ✓ The user must complete the assigned interaction—not merely approve a request
- ✓ Company Visual DNA can provide a familiar organizational sign-in experience
PROTECTS AGAINST
Risky device, location and behavior
Unusual geography, risky IP, device mismatch, impossible travel, repeated failures
- ✓ Context is evaluated according to configured policy
- ✓ Decisions can allow, challenge, block or trigger a response
- ✓ Authentication and risk events remain available for review
PROTECTS AGAINST
Shared, insider and privileged risk
Generic accounts, standing administration, privilege escalation, shared credentials
- ✓ Tie supported shared-account access to a named verified person
- ✓ Use RBAC, JIT access and multi-administrator approval where appropriate
- ✓ Review privileged and team-account activity as separate evidence
PROTECTS AGAINST
Automation and login abuse
Bot-driven attempts, abnormal login volume, repeated attack patterns
- ✓ Monitor authentication failures and suspicious patterns
- ✓ Apply IP controls and automated responses based on configured rules
- ✓ Use layered verification to increase the work required for automated abuse
PROTECTS AGAINST
Audit and compliance gaps
Missing attribution, incomplete access history, weak investigation evidence
- ✓ Capture supported user and administrator activity
- ✓ Filter and export records for investigation and reporting
- ✓ Support compliance programs without claiming that one product guarantees compliance
COMPLETE PROTECTION MAP
22 identity risks addressed through coordinated controls.
Your PDF identifies 22 protection areas. They are organized below by attack journey so buyers can scan them quickly without turning each threat into another page.
Credential and authentication attacks
Credential Theft & Dark Web Attacks
Makes captured text only one part of the expected authentication evidence.
Phishing & Social Engineering
Adds a known Human-Verified interaction that copied sign-in journeys may not reproduce.
Brute Force, Dictionary & Credential Stuffing
Expands verification beyond ordinary text guesses and supports policies for repeated failures.
Keyloggers, Screen Scrapers & Malware
Captured keystrokes or an OTP may still omit required color, style or dynamic interaction evidence.
MFA Fatigue, Prompt Bombing & Push Attacks
Avoids simple Approve/Deny push prompts and requires an intentional user interaction.
SIM Swapping, SMS Hijacking & OTP Theft
Allows organizations to avoid treating an intercepted SMS or OTP as sufficient evidence.
MITM, Replay & Session Attacks
Dynamic challenges and contextual re-evaluation can reduce the usefulness of captured authentication material.
Context, automation and availability
Unauthorized Device & Location Access
Policies can evaluate device, IP, geography and time before allowing, challenging or blocking access.
AI-Powered Bot Attacks
Interactive steps and abnormal-attempt monitoring increase the work required for automated abuse.
Login Flooding & Denial-of-Service Patterns
Detection, IP controls and configured responses can address abnormal authentication volume.
Cross-Device & Cross-Platform Uniformity
A consistent authentication model supports governed access across supported browsers and devices.
Emerging AI-Assisted Attacks
Layered interaction, context and monitoring reduce reliance on controls that automation can easily imitate.
Automated Lockdown & ITDR Response
Configured rules can lock an account or block activity after risky IP, device, travel or failure signals.
Shared, insider and privileged access
Shared & Generic Accounts
Named-user verification and activity evidence improve accountability around supported shared-account access.
Insider Threats & Privilege Escalation
RBAC, monitoring, JIT access and approvals add controls around sensitive administrative journeys.
Insider Collusion & Shared Credential Abuse
Independent authorization and attributable access records reduce dependence on a shared secret alone.
Human recognition and adoption
Human Error & Memory-Friendly Security
A user-selected color-and-style interaction can provide memorable additional evidence without biometrics.
Brand Impersonation & Look-Alike Logins
Company Visual DNA can help users recognize the expected organizational sign-in experience.
Interactive Security for High-Risk Logins
Sensitive journeys can require an additional intentional interaction rather than a passive approval.
Lower-Friction Compliance Adoption
Multiple methods and policy choices help organizations balance user experience with control requirements.
Governance and assurance
Compliance Gaps & Audit Failures
Timestamped authentication and access records support investigation and audit preparation.
Zero Trust Alignment
Identity, device, location, time, role and behavior can inform an explicit access decision.
Protection depends on the selected Rainbow Secure products, integrations, configuration and customer operating environment. These controls reduce identity risk; they do not guarantee that every attack will be prevented.
RESPONSIBLE SECURITY POSITIONING
Layered protection reduces risk. It does not promise that attacks disappear.
Effectiveness depends on configuration, connected systems, user practices and the controls included in the selected deployment.
Rainbow Secure supports compliance and audit preparation; customers remain responsible for their complete compliance program.
