KIB Postpay strengthens login protection with SiARA Shield

SiARA Shield helped identify and suppress high-risk login activity while legitimate access continued on the KIB Postpay mobile app.

KIB Postpay required additional protection around its login journey against suspicious and automated activity while preserving a smooth experience for genuine users.

Could sophisticated automation still reach the application without being detected?

SiARA Shield by CyberSiARA provided behavioural risk analysis at the application layer, helping distinguish legitimate interactions from higher-risk login activity in real time.

During the observed period, high-risk login activity declined rapidly. From the main spike, observed high-risk activity fell by approximately 77% within 24 hours and returned to baseline within 48 hours — while legitimate low-risk activity continued throughout.

The challenge

Protecting the login journey without friction

KIB Postpay needed to strengthen protection around its login experience against suspicious, automated, or fake login attempts. The aim was to stop malicious activity without disrupting genuine users accessing the service.

Advanced automation can resemble normal user behaviour, making simple request-level checks less reliable. KIB required an additional application-layer signal that could assess behaviour in real time and support proportional security decisions.

The security gap

Behaviour that looks legitimate

As automated threats become more sophisticated, login attempts can appear similar to genuine user interactions. Without application-layer behavioural intelligence, suspicious activity may continue to reach critical authentication flows.

KIB Postpay needed visibility into login risk that could respond proportionally — allowing legitimate users to proceed while challenging or blocking higher-risk interactions when required.

SiARA Shield works close to the protected digital journey, providing risk-based responses proportional to the level of threat.

The CyberSiARA approach

Behavioural intelligence at the login layer

SiARA Shield analyses login behaviour and device signals in real time, classifying interaction risk at the application layer while keeping the experience smooth for legitimate users.

Real-time behavioural analysis

Login behaviour and device signals are analysed in real time to identify patterns associated with higher-risk activity.

Application-layer risk classification

Interaction risk is classified at the application layer, closer to the point of user interaction than edge-only controls.

Minimal friction for genuine users

Legitimate users can proceed with minimal interruption while suspicious interactions are challenged or blocked when required.

Privacy-first design

Designed to avoid unnecessary user friction or intrusive data collection while supporting proportional security decisions.

Risk-based response

Security response is proportional to the level of risk — allowing, verifying, or blocking interactions as appropriate.

The results

High-risk activity declined while legitimate access continued

From the main spike, observed high-risk login activity fell by approximately 77% within 24 hours and returned to baseline within 48 hours. Legitimate low-risk activity continued during the observed period.

The deployment provided clearer separation between legitimate and suspicious login activity, helping security teams respond to elevated risk without disrupting genuine customers.

Security & business impact

Stronger protection with clearer visibility

Stronger login protection

Additional behavioural intelligence around a critical customer journey, helping protect the mobile app login experience.

Greater visibility

Clearer separation between legitimate and suspicious login activity at the application layer.

Reduced exposure

Suspicious login activity could be challenged or blocked according to risk, reducing exposure during attack spikes.

Experience maintained

Legitimate users could continue without unnecessary friction throughout the observed period.

The outcome

Behavioural intelligence at a critical journey

By adding behavioural intelligence at the login journey, CyberSiARA helped KIB Postpay see activity that may otherwise appear as normal application traffic, while keeping the experience smooth for legitimate users.

The result was stronger login protection with clearer visibility into suspicious activity — without compromising the customer experience.

During the observed period

  • High-risk login activity declined by approximately 77% within 24 hours from the main spike.
  • Activity returned to baseline within 48 hours.
  • Legitimate low-risk access continued throughout the observed period.
  • Suspicious interactions could be challenged or blocked according to risk.
  • Genuine users experienced minimal friction during login.
