What’s the #1 question we’re hearing at RSAC Conference 2026? 🎤 It’s not just about "where" a user is anymore. It’s about the prevalence of anonymizers and how they cloud the identity of the connection. The most common conversation at our meetups last week in San Francisco has been: “How do we detect an Account Takeover attempt when the login appears to come from a clean, residential IP in the user's home city?” To stay secure in 2026, you can't just block all anonymous traffic—you need to understand the nuances of the type of anonymizer being used. We’ve put together a deep dive into the different types of anonymous IPs and how they impact your business. Read the full breakdown here: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gCr83j5p

We just wrapped up an incredible time at NANOG, and the conversations were a powerful reminder: the bridge between data providers and network operators is built on communication, not just code. For years, geolocation has felt like a "black box" for network operators. When data is wrong, users suffer, and engineers get frustrated. We’re changing that with GeoIP® Exchange. It’s more than a tool—it’s a feedback mechanism designed to:  ✅ Give operators visibility into how we see their networks.  ✅ Automate low-value correction cycles. Are you a network operator looking for better visibility into your geolocation data? We want to help you reduce discrepancies and ensure your users are seeing the right data at the right time. 👉 Let’s talk. Comment below or visit the page to learn how you can leverage GeoIP® Exchange to streamline your network's geolocation. 👉 Learn more about GeoIP® Exchange here: https://lnkd.in/eEb8jPwK Looking ahead to the next opportunity to connect! #NANOG #NetworkOperations #GeoIP

How Telesign flags more fraud using IP data: • Enriches transactions with GeoIP Enterprise and Anonymous IP signals • Uses IP risk context to spot suspicious behavior earlier in the flow • Identifies 23% more high-risk transactions without adding user friction We break down how this works in practice in our latest case study with Telesign: https://lnkd.in/gM_RAMk8 #geoip

Some MaxMind customers limit the number of inputs sent to our minFraud service, to the detriment of fraud detection accuracy. We analyzed the contribution of various inputs on risk scoring to create a must-have list of minFraud inputs. Read our latest article on the MaxMind blog for a clear, data-forward evaluation of how (and how much) various minFraud inputs contribute to fraud detection accuracy. These findings are especially helpful if you are required to limit the number of inputs passed to the minFraud service: https://hubs.la/Q03G2jY10 #fraud_detection
