A fraudster with the right story still fails the check. ATO Protect uses Identity Impersonation Detection to verify a caller against authoritative records before your agent resets a password or recovers an account.

The problem

A good story beats a good agent

Fraudsters impersonate real customers to reset passwords and recover accounts. Once inside, they drain funds, steal personal data, and lock the real owner out. Traditional MFA does nothing here, because the attacker is asking a human to turn it off. Knowledge-based questions only reward whoever did the most research.

address ✓ last 4 ✓ DOB ✓ Real account. Wrong person.
The solution

Verify the person, not the pitch

ATO Protect checks a caller's identity directly against authoritative records before your agent takes any action. The legitimate account holder gets helped fast. The convincing impersonator gets stopped, no matter how much they know or how steady they sound.

AUTHORITATIVE RECORD Verified account holder
At the moment of the request

Three steps, before the account opens

Verification happens during the recovery call, not after the money is gone. The check runs in the background while your agent stays on the line.

STEP 01

A recovery request comes in

A customer calls support locked out of their account and asks for a reset. Your agent greets them as usual and starts the request.

STEP 02

ATO Protect checks authoritative records

Trusona verifies the caller against government and authoritative identity sources, not against what they happen to know about the account.

STEP 03

The agent gets a clear answer

Verified, and the agent helps right away. Not verified, and the request stops before any reset, refund, or account change goes through.

Why teams add it

Protect customers from account takeover

Stop the reset that hands an attacker the keys to someone's money and data.

Stop impersonation at the support desk

The desk built to be helpful stops being the easiest way in.

Build trust with verified interactions

Every helped caller is one you can prove was the real account holder.

Reduce fraud losses and reputational damage

Fewer takeovers means fewer reimbursements, chargebacks, and headlines.
